I don't really like the idea of dimestore readers either. Since I have
vision in both eyes, I would like to use both eyes for the next 45
years. I don't know why the vision in one of my eyes has to be blurry
every time I put prescription glasses on. I feel like the muscles in
my right eye get weaker as time goes on and it has started to wander
some. I don't know if anyone else sees this, though. I don't think my
vision is bad, something just needs tweaking but maybe my doctors
don't have the time. I don't have multifocal implants: AR40e +13.5 in
the right and CLRFLXC +20.5 in the left. I don't have any problem with
the left eye, my prescription is just the same as before surgery.
Sometimes I feel like I am actually farsighted now in the right eye
but I guess that wouldn't be true if I need such a small add for
reading. Sometimes the implant bothers me so much at the end of the
day, like a contact lens, that I want to reach in and take it out for
the night. Is there a doctor or clinic that you can recommend in the
Seattle, Portland, San Diego, or San Francisco Bay Area? Thank you for
taking the time to read this.

Which part of +.50 -2.00 x173 do you find to be "essentially plano?"

Dear CDA,

If you do not like over-the-counter plus lenses, you
can take your prescription for +2.25 diopters,
and click on this site:

http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php

They have a large selection, and I think the
cost is about $20.

They allow you to type in the
+2.25 diopters, and if you wish, the
astigmatic part of the prescription.

Since your refraction is essentially plano
in each eye, you should be fine with
this type of lens you can order on-line.

your getting dimestore readers either. It sounds like you need careful
refraction and binocularity evaluation to determine what will work
best. I'm amazed to hear o.d.s recommend dimestore readers. It's a
shame, when so much can be done for you optically unless you get
multifocal IOLs, in which case not much can be done...

Since the SUGGESTION was to use a +2 diopter
lens (20 inch focal length), and in fact
he recieved a +2.25 diopter perscription,
you must believe that this "second-opinion"
wrong.

Now is question is what is the RIGHT prescription.

So far, you have not answered his quesion,
except to say that he has a lot of inaccurate
prescriptions at this point.

What happened? Did your phoropter have a
flat tire?

Two different doctors have given these prescriptions:
On 07-24-2006
For Progressive:
-.25 -.50 x170 add: 2.25

+.50 -2.00 x173 add: 2.25

No, sorry I didn't realize which thread SKIL was replying to. My comment was
general, pointing out the mistake that most people make in choosing non-rx
readers.

In your case, I think your written prescriptions are inexplicable and
deserve another look by the doctor.

I hope "SKIL-online" takes your point. I also hope your doctor can explain
his reasoning or correct the inaccuracies in the prescription.

So after IOL implants I should forget about the four different pairs
of prescription glasses I have been given in the past year and a half
(and hundreds of dollars) and go down to the drugstore and get 4 pairs
of readers. Also, I should forget about the astigmatism in the left
eye and the vertical diplopia? Well, I was looking for a little bit
more knowlegdeable advice than that. You try switching between 4
different pairs of glasses as you are driving, talking to clients,
using the computer and reading several different sizes of print all
within the space of a few minutes. I seem to have had surgery in two
eyes for absolutely no reason at all.
