I have to wear my glasses extremely close to my eyes, is there anything to do with PD measurements?

So I bought prescription glasses online. But the lenses feels a little weird and uncomfortable when i wear it. Then I try something different, my glasses feels more comfortable when i wear it really really really close to my eyes. Like my eyelashes literally touching the lenses. Is it possible bc the PD measurement a lil bit off?

Why would my Daughter s vision be going blurry all of a sudden?

In July my 9 year old daughter saw a optometrist and was given basically the same prescription for glasses she has had for a few years. I pointed out that her eye kept turning and he kind of brushed it off. Well she has Amblyopia (Lazy eye) and Eye turning is common with this but hers kind of came on suddenly over a month period she had never had it before and I have known about the lazy eye since she was 3.

For the first few years, I had trouble getting her to wear the glasses but at around age 7 she started wear them more frequently and now wears them all the time except for baths/swimming and bed.

I took her to an Ophthalmologist who gave her a stronger lens prescription and said to follow up in a couple months and if there's still the eye turning problem we may have to patch. We got her new glasses within a week of seeing the ophthalmologist.

it's been almost 2 months (Her Appointment is Dec 27th) and the last few days she says her eyes keep going blurry with and without her glasses and she can't see right. I have noticed that when she takes her glasses off, she is squinting more than she ever has before.

I mean I have a lazy eye and it wanders, but they caught mine at age 12/13 and really couldn t fix it my right eye is good so I don't even use glasses as they give me headaches, and make me dizzy. So I'm not to sure what may be going on with her vision.

I called and they will see her this Thursday morning, What could be causing this? Anyone with any experience?

If my glasses prescription has an ADD power, how will it be added to the lens?

I'm nearsighted (-4.00, -2.00) and my new prescription has an add power of +. 75. I was told that this is for reading/seeing close up. What I don't understand is how this affects the lenseds; will they make me look bug-eyed?

When I tried on reading glasses in CVS, my eyes looked huge. Will prescription glasses with +.75 do the same thing?

Or will they be like bifocals with a line?

I was also told that I can omit the add power when having glasses made.

Are Contacts Actually Dangerous?

I want to do something different and try contact lenses. I know people buy them all the time but in my community elders would always use scary myths and stories to warn us against using them (like that they're made in really unsanitary places, generally dangerous, etc.) are most contact lenses really dangerous for the eye or is there something I should look out for if I choose to get some (like how you should avoid "x" chemicals in some skin products even though they claim to be good?)
Added (1). I mean colored contacts, not just ones to help with vision.
