Eye Check up making me CONFUSED?

Question

ei i had an 2 eye check up today

the first clinic says i have an astigmatism -0.75 and slight myopia -0.25

the second clinic says i have astigmatism -1.00

i dont know which one to believe in

what should i do? get more chekups to different clinics more?

Answer 1

the difference between 0.75 and 1.00 is very hardly worth noticing- it's not an 'error' on either of their parts, just a matter of prescribing preference.

You are wasting your money and their time by going getting another exam- one, not two, is more than enough.

Answer 2

the difference from -0.75 to -1.00 is negligible.  Generally, I tend to correct the least amount that allows you to see clearly, so  I would go with the -0.75, but sometimes, that extra little bit is needed.
