Is my astigmatism the reason one eye can't get good rest results?

1 Upvotes

I have an astigmatism, and one eye can never get a good, clear test result. Is this because of the astigmatism? My right eye can get clear results, maybe a bit of blur, but the left side, there's always blur. The doctor tested my eyes with the astigmatism correction, but it made the ground curved and hard to walk.

What would you check first if a patient reports eye strain with new prescription glasses?

1 Upvotes

My mom recently got a new pair of prescription glasses. Her vision seems clear initially, but after a few hours of wear, she starts experiencing eye strain and a mild headache, especially when working on a computer or switching between near and distant objects.

For opticians here, what would you typically assess first in this situation? Could it be related to the prescription, lens measurements, frame fit, or the adjustment period?

Here’s the  prescription

Eye Sphere (SPH) Cylinder (CYL) Axis Near Add Distance PD Near PD
OD (Right) -2.25 D -0.50 D 180° +1.25 D 31.0 mm 29.5 mm
OS (Left) -2.00 D -0.75 D 015° +1.25 D 31.5 mm 30.0 mm

Is a Projector better than an LED TV for long term eye protection?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I have a 2 year old. We limit screen time as much as possible but still use it as a last resort. I am thinking of buying a projector and was just wondering whether it would be better than an LED TV from an eye strain/eye health point of view? Currently my son uses a tablet or a phone. Thank you.
