Daughter has been issued an ultimatum by the ophthalmologist?
My teenage daughter has been nearsighted for a while but has adamantly refused to wear her spectacles. We went back for a checkup a few days ago and her vision has gotten drastically worse. The doctor says it's not horrible but he also said that even low amounts of myopia can be pretty incapacitating. She was a -1.25 and -1.00. Now she's a -2.75 and a -2.25. The doctor says that she really must use her spectacles now. He claims that the decline in her vision was not caused by her refusal to wear her spectacles but I'm still concerned because she hasn't been keeping up with her schoolwork due to her poor vision. Contact lenses are not an option for her because she's very, very squeamish (it's almost pathological).
Unfortunately, she's a very sickly child. She's rather large and she has terrible acne. She also has a number of dental appliances to correct her malocclusions. I'm certain that these issues are contributing to her low self-esteem and consequently to her refusal to use the prescribed spectacles.
Is -2.75 a significant prescription? She seems to think that she can get by without the glasses but the doctor was quite adamant that she wear them most of the time (although he did say that the prescription is categorized as a "weak" one). Not sure what to make of his conflicting opinions.
Added (1). Will the thickness of the lenses be detrimental to her appearance? My husband and I are both lawyers and we'd be happy to pay for the more expensive lenses if they're deemed necessary. The technician said they weren't really required at her current prescription (-1.25) but we're not sure if they're necessary for her new one (-2.75).

My new eyeglasses are messed up and no one can figure it out, What now?
My original prescription that I'm wearing now is
Right eye -4.50 Cylinder +1.25, Axis 080
Left Eye -4.50 Cylinder +.50 Axis 95
Both with an addition of +2.25
(I originally wrote the wrong info in a previous question)
My new is
Right eye -4.25 Cylinder +1.00, Axis 085
Left Eye -4.25 Cylinder +.75 Axis 90
Both with an addition of +2.50
I saw fine with my old glasses but my eyes were very fatigued and my doctor lowered the distance and increased the addition slightly. He said I won't notice much of a difference. But when I put on my new glasses it was really blurry. More than that, I can't read through them unless i tilt my head all the way to the right and then I can use the right eye or all the way to the left for the left eye.
The optical store measured the new glasses and say it is done as prescribed. My doctor was unavailable, but the optician in the doctors office also said they checked out as prescribed, but after he looked at it for over an hour said when he measured the lenses manually the optical center is off by more than 20 mm and is assuming, that the original blank was defective, and this is rare. He agreed that I should not really notice much of a difference between these and my old glasses. The original store is redoing it assuming it is poor optics. It is a mystery, and I'm afraid there will be the same problem again. Any ideas?

Seeing blurry with new contact lens prescription?
I went to the eye doctor yesterday and had a change in my prescription. They've been the same for both eyes. My prescription for the past 2 or 3 years was BC 8.7 DIA 14.5 PWR -4.75 CYL -1.75 AX 180. My new prescription went to PWR -4.50 and cylinder -2.25. They gave me the trial lenses and I'm pretty sure the girl said they didn't have the brand of contacts I normally wear in my new prescription but they had another brand so I'm wearing that new brand for the trial lenses. I'm going to try to describe how I'm seeing blurrry with this new prescription. I know I'm pretty nearsighted but the distance from my bed and the cable box isn't very far and the digital time that shows up on the box looks blurry to me. I put on my old contacts and it look clear. Road signs from afar look blurry now; before the lettering itself was clear and it would just take getting closer to be able to actually read it. Everything close by like reading a book or reading the guide on the TV is fine. I don't know if maybe I should just try the new prescription a few more days and see if I adjust? Should I try wearing my old contacts for a bit and go out and then wear my new prescription and see if it's still looking blurry compared to the old one? I'm just scared of placing a contact lens order for this new prescription and seeing a bit blurry for a year. If I go back to the eye doctor place and tell them about this, am I going to have to pay for anotheir contact lens fitting?
