Did my eye script change alot and what lens material should I now choose?
back in 2010 my script was,
OD: sph -4.00, Cyl -2.75, axis 20
OS: sph -4.75, cyl -3.00, axis 163
with pd of 65 total
yesterday I went to lenscrafters and they gave me:
"doctors handwriting is sloppy"
OD: sph -400, Cyl -250, Axis 016 add+1
OS: Sph: -450, Cyl -300, Axis 160 add+1
they didn't take any pd measurement
So did it change a lot or did he forget to write decimals? Or is the top one wrong and there shouldn't be decimals?
I ordered these frames on my own because lenscrafters only carries the 53mm size, that were a smidge too small and I wanted 55-17-150

Now I'm getting ready to order my lenses and I'm pricing them out, from least expensive to most expensive, Trivex, High Index 1.67 and High Index 1.74
What would you suggest for my astigmatism? The eye doctor said I should get premium AR coating to help with glare, I'm worried about smudges, scratches and having my face distorted when looking at me through the lenses etc.
anyways the hi-index 1.74 automatically comes with premium AR included at the place I'm shopping and is only about $20 more than picking hi-index 1.67 with the addition upcharge premium AR.
Do you think I even need it?
Added (1). thank you Footprintz, do you think Single Vision High Index 1.67 Transitions XTRActive Lenses would be a good choice, Pros: gets extra dark, works in car, won't need to carry around 2 pairs of glasses. Cons: they say they never get totally clear and are always a little tinted? That would look weird in the office.

Eye pains from florescent lights?
Started working under these lights and my eyes hurt everyday and I start blinking rapidly till I have to shut them tightly and hold my breath. I also have seizures but I take meds for that and they say stay out of artificial light. Wondering if amber lens from Gunnar optiks would work to help. Any help please

How to deal with the neighbours?
I am kind of having problems with my upstairs neighbour (english man ) who owns his apartment above, mine I rent from the landlord. The tone of upstairs neighbour is that of I own mine and you rent yours so what I say goes. I kind of feel that his polish girl friend is behind his attitude as he seemed so nice when she was not there. For example he wanted to use the private garden which is part of our property for his personal use, so he lied that the landlord misinformed us and it is for his use as well, which later turned out to be our private use alone and landlord doesn't want them to use it.
Another instance is that when landlord carries out somework in our property he gets annoyed and comes for an argument with us. He doesn't understand we do not even know who send the workers as we were also not informed and to always speak with the landlord.
As it got so bad, my partner left a note requesting to contact the property manager for all concerns regarding us or apartment than to speak with us, implicity informing him not to speak to us ever again. But for some reason he is too good to be true all of a sudden and it is kind of surprising me?
Is it better to stay away from him?
Any advice much appreciated.

Progressive eyeglasses: is a narrow horizontal field of focus normal?
I just started wearing progressive eyeglasses a few days ago. The vertical focal distances are just fine and I like that a lot. It is my sideways focus that concerns me: there is a "sweet spot" for perfect focus in all three sections, but if I keep my head still and just shift my eyes sideways, things get blurry.
Right now I'm making slight sideways head turns to keep things in focus - not even the full laptop screen is in focus. My neck is sore by noon.
My question is: will this spot of focus get wider horizontally as my eyes adjust to the progressive lens?

How to make my eyes look bigger? - 1
My eyes have become smaller than before probably due to regular use of spectacles. How do I make it normal again? Will it become normal if I stop using specs and start using lenses?

Do i need to pay for the prescription when I need to purchase contact lenses?
I lived in NY, and I have insurance that covers my annual eye exam. I know that purchasing contact lenses online is cheaper and I know I need a prescription for them. I went to have my annual eye exam today, my eye doctor also sells glasses and contacts, so my doctor asked which brand I wanted to use, and I said my old one is really dry for my eyes and she gave me 2 other brands to try.
The other people who work for her told me I have to pay $50 for the prescription, and later the $50 will be treated as a deposit for the price of my lenses (whatever brand I need). I don't want to pay because I don't want to buy contacts from my doctor, and I asked, "if i wanted to order online, do I still have to pay?" And the guy told me no matter how I order my contacts, the $50 is for the prescription and therefore I must pay.
So I paid, and I told everything to my boyfriend, he said he didn't have to pay anything to the doctor when he order contact lenses online.
I just wanted to know if it is true that there is a fee ($50) for contacts prescription even when my insurance covers an eye exam. I am kinda on a budget recently and I don't want to pay when I don't need to. Thank you!

Colored contacts burned for 10 seconds after putting it in?
so i putted the colored contacts in a saline saloution for the night. Then i putted them in. It my eyes burned and watered but then stopped after like 10-15 seconds. I have them for 18 minutes now, i still can feel them in my eye but it dont hurts. I saw if they are inside out and they didnt was. I washed my hands really good before too… So, is this normal? And how much time should it take until i dont feel them at all? I got them without prescription…
