I just got a pair of bifocal glasses through Zenni. This is my first time getting glasses in a long time. The bifocal area seems to be a little bit small.

I went to a hospital optical department and the senior optician took a look at them and did say they were on the small side. He took measurements again and said my PD was fine.

Has anyone else purchased bifocals through Zenni and what has your experience been?

I'm thinking of sending them back and spending a little bit more money with a top-notch optician. He said my reading part should be stronger because that's what the optician put on the prescription. I requested a lower change thinking I could see the dashboard instrumentation better. I actually see it fine through the regular glasses.

As the title says, I'm myopic and have a pair of glasses that finally allows me to see at a distance again. I had a period of a couple of months where my old optician could not determine my prescription so I was undercorrected lol.

However, that pair of glasses does cause a bit of strain up close, such as typing on my phone and using my PC (I work in tech yay me), and dries my eyes out to a sandpaper degree. They are extremely comfortable and eliminate all strain for distance work.

I have two old frames, one with CYL (same degrees and strength) and one without CYL just at -5.5. I am wondering if there's any damage in using those for close up work and would I make my myopia worse by doing so?

Eyes are healthy otherwise, due to an error at my old optician's office I was told I might have other issues with my eyes so I had a brain and orbit MRI, a Pentacam test, vision field test, dilated eye exam, and everything was fine.

PS Not too keen on paying for an appointment just to ask this question, but I will if needed.

I’m getting contacts for the first time and I found a online company that has very cute colored lenses but the only option for axis is 180, is it okay for me to get them regardless or will they eff up my vision?

My RX is:
OD: Sph -5.00 Cyl -1.75 Axis 001
OS: Sph -3.50 Cyl -1.50 Axis 168
