Can anyone tell me why optician's prescription vary from one optician to another ? I am very shortsighted.?

Question

I went to three different opticians last year and all of them prescribed different powered lenses. I am concerned about the accuracy of the prescriptions.

Answer 1

If the test were all carried out properly the prescriptions should be roughly the same.

Answer 2

I would be as well, but what to do, perhaps a test in hospital that specialises in eye stuff opthalmic I think, explain your problem and they might check. I would also try questioning the opticians concerned and hear what they have to say.

Answer 3
