[quote=Anonymous]I currently have an almost 3-yr-old prescription for multifocal/progressive lenses. Thing have been getting blurry , I can no longer read street signs easily when driving, and I've had squinting and headaches, so I went to the eye doctor to have things checked out. Their computer system messed up during the exam, didn't save his work, and the Dr was frustrated, but said he remembered the #s. I distinctly remember him saying, "I'm sure I put '3' for that." But - reading it now, it looks to me like the new prescription is weaker than the one I have. I don't want to get new lenses (all OOP, fwiw) without full confidence that the #s are accurate. I'm planning to call their office this week to see if I'm misinterpreting things, but in the meantime: anyone know how to fully read these? Is the new distance Rx weaker than the old?
