Question

 

 

Hi,

I asked this question already in an earlier question but I got the numbers switched.

Is it normal for the Spherical Prescription to change after two years? It changed from +2.00 to +2.25. I called my clinic but they wouldn't go and ask the optometrist but just told me that's what he wrote down.

Thanks

Answer

Thanks for your Question

It is quite normal for the refractive power to change with time. You have to try this new eyeglasses if you don't feel comfortable with it and you start to have headache or blurry vision you should go back to your optometrist.
