am i overthinking this or should i be concerned? i went for my annual eye exam a couple days ago to renew my eye contact prescription. this past year i've been wearing -2.75 power in both eyes and haven't had any issues with them. so after the eye exam, the eye doctor says that the right eye should go up to -3.00. Which i agree with because i do notice the right eye seems alittle more blurry. And then he said something like "i think maybe your left eye could maybe go down to -2.50". So then i was like "oh so it isn't -2.75 anymore?". But then he was like 'oh well yeah we can actually keep you at -2.75 in your left eye'. And then i was like 'oh but i do want to be accurate though...'. But then he was like "oh no it should be fine..keeping -2.75 in the left eye will be fine.' So my prescription now is -3.00 in my right eye and -2.75 in the left eye. But should i be concerned that maybe the left eye should be -2.50 because that's what he first mentioned? but then he was like -2.75 is fine too because its just .25 difference. i have been wearing the new contacts (3.00 in right and -2.75 in left) the past few days and i haven't noticed any problems. i might be overthinking everything but i just want to be sure.
Hi ky.
I wouldnt worry at all. 0.25 change is I believe the smallest variation / adjustment. depending on who checks my eyes, and when, my prescription varies very similar to yours. sometimes -3.0, sometimes -2.75. lots of things can influence the figures
Yep absolutely overthinking things. .25 doesnt matter.. as when youre super short sighted like -7 then lenses only go up in .5’s anyway. personally i prefer the slightly higher prescription. you will be fine
