How do I know if the UV coating on my glasses is fake?

I live in Bangkok but I'm a Canadian citizen. They is a lot of fake stuff here. Believe it or not, one can even get stuff that is a sometimes a knock off inside an indoor shopping centre.

Anyway…

I'm going to get new lenses for my eye glasses as my existing lenses do not have UV protection.

Is there a way to know if they gave me a cheap pair of lenses that do not actually offer UV protection? Would an optician/eye doctor in Canada be able to know by looking at them?

Can I add UV protection (UVA/UVB) to existing glasses?

My glasses are a few years old and I can't remember if they came with UV protection/UV coating or not.

I do not remember the name of the lenses but I bought them at Wal-Mart and they are definitely nothing fancy.

Because I want to protect my eyes, I want to take them to a store and (if possible) add UV protection.

Can a UV coating be added to existing lenses for glasses or would it have to be done when the lense was actually being manufactured?

Hopefully I can take in my glasses and get this added.

Of course there's the obvious answer of calling up some shops. Since I'm staying in Bangkok now there's a bit of a language barrier. Before I venture out to some shops I would like to know if I'm wasting my time in even trying.

Thanks in advance.

Have I been prescribed the wrong contact lens power if I can't focus my eyes on laptop and phone screen?

I had contact lenses that were -4.50 and -4.75. I didn't go to the optometrist for 2 years until now. The new contact lenses that I was prescribed are -6.00 and -6.50. I can see the blackboard well with my new contacts as a student; however, it is much more difficult to focus my eyes on my laptop and phone screen. I have been wearing the new contacts for about a month (on and off) and still have the same problem. The new contacts are also more uncomfortable than my old ones (the brand of my contact lenses have been switched as well & I'm still wearing my old glasses).
Added (1). Have I been prescribed the wrong contact lens power if I can't focus my eyes on laptop and phone screen? (I can focus with my old lens much better)

Is there a problem with my contacts or my eyes?

I'm near sighted with a -2.0 prescription. Wearing contacts corrects my blurry vision fine (words and objects are clearly visible) but I've noticed something strange. When I remove my contact lenses everything appears blurry but at the same time, much crisp and sharper. The contrast in colors and lighting seems much more significant, and even some textures become clearer than they were while wearing contacts. It's strange to me because while wearing contacts my vision is better, but lacking in depth and contrast. I have done some research that is leading me to believe I have a slight astigmatism, but I'm looking for some clarity to see if this may be something else. Any ideas?

Ulcer in my right eye?

I visited an eye doctor last week because it was time for me to get new contact lenses. I went under an eye exam and my doctor informed me of having an ulcer in my right eye. This struct me as odd, because I always had vision problems since a child in my right eye. The second statement she made was that by having an ulcer in my eye I would be experiencing pain and my eye would look different, neither I'm experiencing. She was also reluctant to give me new contact lenses and stated "You can see another doctor if you like, I'm not going to lose my license". She then handed me a referral to make an appointment with a specialist and I left.

What do you guys think? Is it worth going to a different eye doctor?

I went to Specsavers last year about glasses. I couldn't afford them?

Late last year, just before Christmas I went in for an eye test and to pick out new glasses.
I wanted reacter lenses and then the lady said as my eye sight has gotten worse the lenses would need shaving adding to the cost.
I agreed on £72 and left.
I asumed I could pay half and pay the rest later. But when I went in I was told that it wasn't an option and was told to 'save up'.

As it's been months since than I imagine the glasses had been scrapped, I'm embaressed to ask if I can pick out another glasses and just get them thined out.

Will they let me?
