I recently got new glasses which I can't get comfortable with, things don't seem "straight" so I started looking at how this prescription compared with previous since my eyes rarely change between tests.

2018

R -2.00 C 0.25 A 40 L -2.00

2022

R -2.25 L -2.00 C 0.50 A 45

I have tried wearing the new glasses upside down today (to switch lenses) and I am straining less, I just feel like my eyes are fighting the new lenses when they are up the right way.

Is it possible for the Astigmatism to jump to the other eye or has someone screwed up?
