New Rx:
-5.50 -.75 x90
-5.50 -.25 x105.
She's been to the prescribing optometrist before and has always liked the Rxs, but his optical shop always messed up on the lenses, so she came to me.
Her old glasses are a 3 piece mounting with broken lenses, glued together crookedly. As best I can tell, the old Rx was
-5.75 -.25 x50
-5.25 -.25 x 78
I couldn't tell what material her old lenses were, and she doesn't remember where they were from, so I used poly (my favorite material) with Carat AR.
The pd on the old glasses seems to match mine pretty closely: 31.5/29 was my measurement. Her old lenses appear to be 30/30, but since they're broken, it's hard to be precise.
She got a zyl frame, size 51/15, which had her eyes centered vertically.
The old lenses clocked at OD +1 BC and OS +2.00. I ordered +2 base curve, but in the frame, they clock at +2.75.
She gets dull aching behind her eyes. She returned to the doctor who rechecked her vision and verified that the lenses were made correctly. He suggested remaking the lenses with the optical centers lower.
I did that (moved them down 3 mm, so the optical centers are below her pupils). She says it's better, but she still gets these headaches.
I would gladly remake them in some other material, but I don't know what she was wearing.
And I've never (in over 35 years) had anyone bothered by getting a steeper base curve.
Do you think it could be the change in axes? Especially the OD since it moved 40 degrees and increased by .50D? Also, she's been wearing her old Rx crooked because of the broken, glued lenses. I didn't think to measure the axes as she's been wearing them, but they had only .25 cyl anyway.
She doesn't want a different frame or a refund. She says the vision is sharp and clear. She's been very pleasant through all this & even brought her husband to me for glasses.
I'm usually so good at trouble shooting, but I'm stumped here and would appreciate any help.
