Contact lens prescription?

Question

I recently got brand new contacts. I had been wearing a pair of glasses that were +1.25 in the left eye and +3.50 in the right, respectively. Lo and behold, my contact prescription is +3.25 in the left and +4.00 in the right. Is that a deterioration in vision, or is it simply a refractive change because I'm using contacts now?

Answer 1

Yes, ur eyesight have become worst. take great care of the eyes.

Answer 2

It's a deterioration in vision.  Contact prescriptions and glasses prescriptions are usually the same.  More than likely the glasses you had been wearing were supposed to be +3.25 in the left (instead of the 1.25) but either the handwriting was poor or the doctor just plain messed up.  It's unusual to have that much of a variation from one eye to the other.

Answer 3

No, your vision has not deteriorated; you have simply been prescribed what is needed.  Your glasses were way off.  There was no refractive change.

Answer 4

It sounds like a deterioration. Contacts don't make a difference in your prescription (except for with astigmatism. but that is irrelevant).  But this drastic of a change might indicate something wrong with your eyes. Maybe see an ophthalmologist, as such a change in prescription is very unlikely.  Again, this has nothing to do with the contacts, and is simply a change in your vision.
