Fewer lens options at -3.25?

I've been at -2.75 in both eyes for a long time but I had to get up to -3.25 at my latest exam.

I'm trying to buy glasses online but the companies are forcing me to pay for the expensive lenses and won't let me buy the regular 1.5 index lenses that I used for my last pair.

Why such a huge difference in options between -2.75 and -3.25?
Added (1). It doesn't let me override at -3.25. I tried -3.00 to check and it allows me to override at that rx but not at -3.25. The cheaper lenses are "not available" for my rx…

Can I pick if I want bi-weekly contacts?

I have an eye exam scheduled later today for contact lenses. I haven't worn contacts since sophomore year in high school. I'm 25 now and wearing 5 year old glasses. I don't remember which brand or type of contacts I used to wear, except that they were for astigmatism. My problem is money. I'm a single father of a 4 year old now and I could use a lot more of it. The struggle is real right now as they say. Which ties into my question. So my question is, would it be possible for me to tell the doctor I NEED contacts that are the "2 week" contacts? After comparing prices online from multiple outlets and speaking to my friends who wear contacts, it has been brought to my attention that the "single use" daily contacts, for whichever brand (as long as they are for astigmatism) are simply too expensive for me to afford. I have noticed boxes of contacts are cheaper for "2 week or bi-weekly" contacts. Is it possible for me to tell the doctor that and hope they take that into consideration? Or will he/she prescribe me whatever they choose, for example and possibly (1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST for ASTIGMATISM 90 pack) for 80-90 bucks a box, (Which I can't afford) when I could afford something like (Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism 6 pack, 3 months) for 30-40 bucks a box depending where I shop from. Please help with any info anyone can share. I'm kind of scared of even paying for an eye exam if at the end they prescribe me a type of lens I can't even afford, such as the single use contacts. Thanks.

After removing circle lens from the packaging and storing in multi purpose solution for 6-8 hours, can you wear them right away?

Or do you rinse them with solution again before putting it in your eye?

Fairly new to wearing contact lenses. Can anyone advise if it's likely to still be in my eye?

Fairly new to wearing contact lenses. Was removing them one evening and I blinked as I did so but couldn't find the lens on the floor/me but also couldn't find It in my eye. I can't feel anything so don't think it is stuck and my opticians wanted to charge me £20 to have a quick look!

Is it possible to have a lens stuck without seeing or feeling it? Have had a good look around, washed eye out, massaged my eyelid etc.

Thanks in advance

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.
