My eye doctor appointment was very interesting.... my vision went from being a -5.75 to a -4.5. Apparently, my atigmatism is pretty bad (-1.25 in my left eye and a -.50 in my right eye) The dr. said that most likely I had the wrong prescription for years, probably because the other doctors simply went from the existing prescription, instead of starting from scratch. He explained that they usually add the prescription and the astigmatism together to get the lens thickness. So you'd add my -4.5 prescription + my -1.25 astigmatism to get the -5.75 I've been wearing the past few years Looks like they totally ignored my astigmatism!!!!

I got two pair of glasses for exactly what I'd budgeted but I hadn't figured on adding the doctor's office visit to my budget. It'll cost me $90 for today's doctor visit after insurance covers their part. If these new glasses make the world crystal clear then it was worth every single penny! I've been having issues for years and complaining of headaches for years. If it means clear vision and no headaches? OMG I'll send this young doctor a love letter every day.

On to my new glasses.... I bought a red plastic pair a lot like the ones Staci posted of herself. I also got a navy blue metal pair that I am shocked I liked! We'll see how they are, and how I see out of them I am just so happy right now.
