I recently got new glasses and had an adjustment in my astigmatism in both eyes. It seems my vision has improved slightly (didn't know that was possible), but my astigmatism has changed a bit.
- Left: -5.75 sphere, -1.00 cyl, 180 axis
- Right: -4.25 sphere, -1.25 cyl, 085 axis
The new glasses seem good, everything's clear again, but my issue is I'm noticing the right eye is fine, but the left eye seems... off somehow with focusing. When I turn my head to the right I'm fine, but if I turn left or change my focus with my left eye, I feel disoriented for a brief second, and focus takes longer.
Also, I'm noticing the focal point on my lens (at least for the left eye) seems really low on the lense, like I had to adjust my glasses so they sit really high on the bridge of my nose so I'm looking out of the lower portion of the lenses. It's much higher than normal to where the frame top is siting at the top of my eyebrow level to help improve with this... distortion/disoriented focus. It also places my lenses so close that they're rubbing my eyelashes, which is somewhat irritating.
It's only been two days, so I'm hoping I'll adjust, but I'm wondering at what point I should go back to the eye doc to discuss it. These lenses are fairly larger and a different shape than I've gotten in the past, and they're trivex instead of high index poly (never used trivex before) so I'm not sure if any of this is normal.
