And when it's hard to tell that means the doctor is almost done! The best answer then is that they both look the same (both good or bad). That means that we just narrowed in on your prescription. Some doctors push for an answer of 1 or 2, or whatever number they are on, more than others, but the outcome is usually the same. Hope this helps!

I had an eye test from a through optician who I clearly remember saying 'Why are you on bifocals, you should not be on bifocals for at least 10 more years'. Always check if it's a optician who does give you a chance for a second opinion.

@TrueFocusEyeCare 2 жыл бұрын

I don't understand the 10 years part. If someone is able to use bifocal for a few years, then it can be hard for them to transition to progressives, and it's the same the other way around. There are many people who love their bifocals and will use them for 30-40 years. Normally it's not the person doing the vision test who dictates whether you are using bifocals or progessives. It's usually the patient.

When I was younger I went to the eye doctors and my vision at that time was barely blurry at all. I got these glasses that were pretty useless, didn’t fit, looked bad, and actually made my vision worse. (I don’t think it was the doctors fault or my fault at the time, mostly the bad decision on frames and also I think because the glasses had same prescription for both eyes.) Even now, when my vision has deteriorated a lot, they don’t work. It sucks because I’m kinda afraid to go back in case it gets messed up again because I direly need glasses. So thanks for this video.

That's because your eyes are a more complex animal than the camera that I had behind the machine. Your vision fluctuates constantly based on tear film, pupil size and accommodation. So it is our job as eye doctors to give you enough comparisons to dial in your prescription regardless of what your eyes are doing.

We have so many ways to help slow the progression of Myopia nowadays. Going outside is one of them and reducing the amount of indoor-near tasks do help. Genetics is the largest factor in myopia, but what we do after that will determine how nearsighted we can become.

HI! this is a very good video. I did see a optician last 2 days ago and did a test or exam same like in the video, it was my first time. because i noticed im having frontal headaches and nauseous when I started to go out after my quarantine. During the test i take time and choose which one that i can see clearly and the optician was very patient with me. It turns out i have nearsightedness, i cant see clearly/blurry far objects. When I wore the prescription glass i can see very sharp objects/letters that are quite far. I was amazed. QUESTION doc, since its my first time having specs. I want to improve my vision and minimize wearing specs due to work issues. What should I do? to improve my nearsightedness? the optician says they have to correct my nearsightedness and i have very mild astigmatism and i have to comeback after 6 months to check if the astigmatism is still the same..

When i told them I just wanted the new prescription written down and I'll get it made elsewhere. They started getting mad at me. The doctor said i was making things up and being overdramatic. He said my eyes are fine and i need to stop being so 'grumpy'. ( i am really introverted and shy. And i was polite throught the entire experience) I want to cry. I just want to have clear vision.

@TrueFocusEyeCare 2 жыл бұрын

It will not. The biggest factor that needs to be adjusted in the phoropter before figuring out the prescription should be making sure that the phoropter is level. The PD (pupillary distance) is important when measuring the person's eyes in the new frame. But it does annoy me too when I can't test out my true binocular vision through the new Rx because the phoropter is too narrow or wide!

Myopia (point of focus is in front of the retina), Emmetropia (point of focus is on the retina), Hyperopia (point of focus is behind the retina). Everyone is one of the 3, unless they have astigmatism. Then they will have a combination. As long as the eye is healthy, we will be able to get clear vision with help of glasses or other means.

I dont have anxiety going to the eye dr (only the dentist). I do question if I am doing the test correctly or not. I asked a new eye dr's office if they were trying to get my eyes to 20/20 vision and they said not necessairly. I think I was thinking this was true and wasnt making the cut, but they are just trying to get you to the best vision you can get. A few times I questioned it if when my dr said is this better? If I was silent for too long, he would flip it again and I could make a decision. I think maybe there are times where its close, so I cant tell. Ive dealth with being nearsighed and astigmatism most of my life and now dealing with reading. I just got new glasses and cant see close w/them. So now Ive got a pair of glasses for distance, but now need readers I guess. I did have no line progressives, but I hate them. I realized today that I can see clearer out of the bottom portion of the progressives...better than my new current prescription. So Im trying to decide do I just want to go get readers and leave it alone or take my progressive prescript and get the lensess re-done. I am sad that my glasses cant provide both (I know progressives kind of can).

I`ve found that optometrists like to rush through those selections of 1 or 2 or 3 without giving you enough time to focus after looking through different lenses on that machine, the eyes need to adjust, takes a little more than a split second sometimes, it`s very annoying how they race through it and probably why some prescriptions don`t turn out so great

Removing Test Anxiety? Get a Snellen. Use Bright light. Check for reading DMV, of 20/40 or better. If at that level, use your Test Lens Kit. At 20/40, you can slowly get back to 20/20, if you have the courage and leadership to do it.

There is something called night blindness, where your vision can be blurry due to muscles spasms, and a small prescription could help. Also if you spend much of your day in front of a screen (computer device), then your eyes could be dry, which can also cause blurry vision at the end of the day. Warm compress and lid messages could be very beneficial if that's the case also. Check out our video on Warm Compresses and see if that helps.

Sir please resolve my query. Eye test computer machine (Refractometer) in optician shop give this reading :- -1.00/-0.50 axis_161° (right eye), -1.00/-0.75 axis_38° (left eye). And the optometrist of the shop give this prescription by using digital Phoropter device and digital display chart :- -1.00/-0.50 axis_160° (right eye), -1.00/-0.50 axis_20° (left eye). Why he reduced the left eye axis from 38° to 20° but not the selected nearby axis like 30° or 25° ? Isn't 18° cylindrical axis variation is high and outside the safe tolerance limit ? [ Few days ago, I also checked my eyes from the hospital, and their auto refractometer give -1.25/-0.75 axis_37° (for left eye) and the doctor gave prescription -1.25/-0.50 axis_30° (left eye). ]

She said she would have someone call, they never did. I tried calling the people that made the glasses, but got no response. The papers I got with the glasses said it may take a few days or maybe two weeks for your eyes to adjust. I dont think I can see as good as I did before.

Sorry to hear you going through that, Kirby. I'll tell you, nothing bothers me more than when a patient of mine has glasses that they can't use. Talk to the doctor that gave you the prescription. Call that office and ask for a "prescription recheck" becuase you have tried long enough to see if your vision would get better through the glasses, but it was never comfortable. Yes, it could be an issue on how it was made, but start by double checking the prescription, and if there is no change, then go back to where you bought the glasses, and has them to check the measurements. Hope this helps, Kirby. Good luck!!

I just got my glasses and now I see every white thing glitchy (like red and blue with some yellow) around the outer part. Is that normal? Because my doctors told me I have old man man eyes while at the age of 14

Sounds like chromatic abberations in your new glasses, but this could also be something more serious. I recommend that you go back to your eye doctor and see if they can take a look!

You can always go to the doctor and ask, but depending on your prescription before the surgery, you can have what you are experiencing.

Not everyone can see the small letters on the chart, so the doctor will normally increase the size of the letters and slowly decrease the size as the vision gets corrected.

Is any part of the eye exam meant to be uncomfortable. Because it is for me and I can't see properly for a couple of days afterwards. Autorefractors are the worst.

@TrueFocusEyeCare 3 жыл бұрын

There are a couple tests in a regular eye exam that are uncomfortable, but I wouldn't say anything is painful, unless you are super sensitive to light. The dilation drops can cause blurry vision temporarily, which may last 4-6 hours, but I've had some patients take a day or 2 to get back to 100%, but that is very rare. I've never had anybody have issues with our auto refractor. The puff of air in the pressure test can be annoying, but still not painful. But there are many ways to perform the same test, so if you are not comfortable with one of the tests, or you had a bad experience in the past, then ask them to use an alternative method! And if you still don't want a certain test, then let them know. We may not have all the puzzle pieces to assess your ocular health, but it's better than not getting checked at all!

@@TrueFocusEyeCare Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed reply. I really appreciate that. I dom't mind the air puff too much but I don't think anyone uses them any more because I think the autorefractor serves several purposes including checking eye-health. My left eye spasms quite easily and this gets taken as my prescription. I'd be quite haqppy to use the autorefracto at the end of the test if it must be used. Without my glasses I find lights really bothersome. I do have trouble getting taken sriously with any of this. The last time I had a a cycloplegic it knocked me out pretty much. So I guess that's not supposed to happen then?

@TrueFocusEyeCare 3 жыл бұрын

Getting dilated can definitely knock some people for a loop, but this is why our office will offer a weaker dose for a more mild dilation. I think you may have the autorefractor mistaken with another machine. There are some autorefractors (this machine gives an estimate of the glasses prescription) that have keratometers and non-contact tonometers built in, but there is no autorefractors that can check the entire health of the eye. I think you may be thinking of a retinal camera. Some docs will use this instead of dilation if a patient refuses drops. Awesome questions, though! It's giving me more ideas of future videos!!

@@griselgarcia3677 every drop has is pros and cons, just like any medication, but dilating drops are very safe. Although if you do not want the drops, you will not be forced to do it.

I had an eye test..those small letters looks blurry but i tried to read it. I didnt tell the doctor that its blurry.. my question is: was it suppose to be sharp and clear if the doctor ask to read those letters? Or its ok to be blurry and you try to figure out those letters?

@TrueFocusEyeCare 3 жыл бұрын

It's okay if the letters are not perfect. When you get to the point where you can see the bottom line, we will still do fine tune adjustments after to see if more power or less power will make it clearer for the patient. So you will not mess up your prescription for pushing yourself to read the small line even if it is blurry.

@TrueFocusEyeCare 2 жыл бұрын

There is a range of clear vision that you will be able to see when we are doing this test. Outside of that range, you will have blurry vision. But on one of these sides, the more power I give you, you will notices the letters get darker, bolder and/or smaller. If I keep you on this side, it can cause headaches and eye strain, so we try to stay away from there. If you didn't notice that, then don't worry about. Not everyone will.

Depending on your age, your eyes may have changed from your last exam. This is why we normally recommend having a yearly eye exam. But I would get your vision checked again, and see what comes up.
