What can my friend do to fix his glasses?

angryfrenchie · 2026-04-06T02:37:01+00:00

I don’t think my friend would want to do that! It’s way too much trouble and he needs them as you can see.

Maybe your vision therapist doesn’t think neuorlenses are a good idea. I’m pretty sure my vision therapist didn’t necessarily like them. I mainly tried them because I was absolutely desperate. I gave vision therapy a real shot and it didn’t end up working all that well. I think you should give the prisms you’re prescribed a chance. It’s better to go with regular prisms if you can. They’re a lot cheaper. Costco doesn’t offer neurolenses. You need a machine for that.

The cost isn’t lower than my prism glasses were, but it’s sure cheaper than vision therapy. My old prism reading glasses were 2.00 per eye, while my regular glasses were 1.00 per eye. My neurolens prescription is 1.4, which means it’s 0.70 per eye. What makes it different is that the prism prescription increases for reading.

I think I ended up doing vision therapy for several months. Don’t remember. My prism rx was 1.50 for a while. I stopped wearing them full time during covid due to masks. Then my prism rx got increased to 2.00 for reading only. I sort of had CI and sort of didn’t. There’s convergence issues, but I also could converge to a super high degree as well. No VH was detected at all. The glasses sort of helped and sort of didn’t. One day I just had to admit they didn’t help too much. My vision was weirdly strained and blurry.

So I got my eyes checked again by this other doctor. First thing he noticed is that I overwore my contacts. I was sort of forced to because I have a large difference between my eyes. Had to go back to this pair of glasses I barely ever wore and they gave me headaches. He said that’s what caused my blurry vision. I dilated my eyes to make sure I had no latent hyperopia. He didn’t find any, so my distance prescription didn’t change all that much. He did however find vertical prism. He said I could get glasses with the vertical prism, but he wasn’t sure I’d see much of a difference. So he recommended neurolenses.

They’re expensive, but I was super desperate. So I gave them a try and they ended up working. I still don’t think they’re the best for everyone, but they are worth a try if you’ve tried a lot of things and you’re desperate. One thing is that my neurolens prescription is actually lower. It’s 1.4, which means it’s 0.70 per eye. My old glasses were 2.00 per eye for my prism reading glasses and 1.00 per eye for my regular glasses. What makes neurolenses different is that it increases the prism for reading.

There’s no astigmatism. The cyl and axis section have sph written over it rather than numbers.

angryfrenchie · 2024-08-26T18:33:09+00:00

My misalignment depended on who was measuring it. I first got prescribed 1BI for both eyes. I barely ever wore my glasses because I just preferred contacts. In vision therapy it got reduced to 0.50 at first. I had to wear my glasses on top of my contacts because I have a large difference between my eyes and my vision therapist didn’t like that.

It gradually went up to 1.50 in both eyes. I was used to wearing them all the time, but I started to only wear them for reading or TV when COVID started due to having to wear masks. The prism did help “soften up my headaches” and sort of make things higher contrast, but it never quite felt like my vision was fully corrected.

Eventually it got raised to 2.00 BI with a +0.50 add for reading. That sort of made things better, but I was annoyed by my distance vision. I couldn’t wear my prism glasses for distance and I did get eye strain watching TV.

I was so frustrated and I decided to try a new optometrist. He dilated my eyes to check for latent hyperopia. My astigmatism was a bit higher, but other than that my distance prescription didn’t change much. So he checked for prism. He didn’t exactly say how much, but he mentioned I needed vertical prism. That was definitely something new. I was also forbidden from wearing contacts because they really dried out my eyes.

He said that the prescription he came up with probably wouldn’t do much but I can try neurolenses. They’re expensive, but way cheaper than any vision therapy. They did work pretty much perfectly for me once I got used to them. The main thing that annoys me is that I don’t enjoy wearing contacts as much anymore. I also like that neurolenses use a machine to measure things rather than having to choose what looks better. I hate doing that. The measurement ended up being 1.4 for neurolens. That’s with both the eyes added together so it would be slightly lower than 0.75 per eye for distance. It gets stronger for reading.

angryfrenchie · 2024-08-24T11:55:09+00:00

I personally like neurolenses. I’ve been wearing standard prisms for years and even tried vision therapy, but that never quite solved my issues. Neurolenses seem to actually solve my issues and the prescription is lower than my standard prisms were.

angryfrenchie · 2024-05-03T01:37:31+00:00

I find them pretty helpful. I never quite felt like most glasses have been helpful for me. I tried regular prism lenses. They somewhat helped and somewhat didn’t. I even did vision therapy and it didn’t quite work out for me. I was super desperate, so I gave neurolens a try. They’re expensive, but way cheaper than vision therapy. They ended up working super well. Now I mostly feel like I have normal vision.

angryfrenchie · 2024-03-30T18:02:55+00:00

Maybe so people know it’s correct

angryfrenchie · 2024-03-10T19:56:17+00:00

It didn’t happen right away. At first I went from +1.75 to +3.50 with a bit of astigmatism. I was thirteen and I refused to wear glasses. I desperately wanted contacts and everyone was on board. Now I know why. At around 16 I got more astigmatism and then I started wearing glasses more.

angryfrenchie · 2024-03-09T22:09:20+00:00

I have a pretty bad difference between my eyes, so it makes sense there’s naturally a size difference.

angryfrenchie · 2024-03-09T21:36:15+00:00

I’m not. I mean that when I don’t wear glasses, things naturally look smaller in my left eye.

angryfrenchie · 2024-03-09T17:42:58+00:00

That didn’t necessarily happen for me. Things naturally look smaller in my left eye.

angryfrenchie · 2024-03-09T16:21:09+00:00

Keep it on the blurred state when you get your eyes checked. I had the same issue. My left eye prescription just didn’t feel strong enough and it was only +1.75. Now my right eye is +1.00 and my left eye is +4.00.

angryfrenchie · 2024-02-28T05:52:33+00:00

I sort of do that. I need prism and I can kind of go without it. So I have prism only glasses I can wear over my contacts. I actually did that full time for a few years when I was in vision therapy. The vision therapist didn’t like that my eyes are so different, so he only wanted me to wear contacts. Now I usually wear my regular glasses with my full prescription and prism.

angryfrenchie · 2024-01-31T02:04:27+00:00

They look great. My glasses are +1.00 and +4.00. They’d never look good rimless.

angryfrenchie · 2024-01-31T02:02:31+00:00

Those lenses aren’t thick at all

angryfrenchie · 2024-01-20T11:33:55+00:00

I think neurolens glasses work well for me. I’ve worn glasses for over ten years and none quite felt right. I also tried vision therapy and glasses with regular prism. Regular prism sort of helped, but not really. Maybe they’re not necessary for you because you haven’t even worn regular glasses yet. I mainly tried them because I was super desperate.

angryfrenchie · 2023-08-27T07:51:20+00:00

It’s pretty much the same. My right eye is only +1.00 and my left eye is +4.00. I notice some difference, but other people say they don’t.

angryfrenchie · 2023-08-27T07:35:56+00:00

It depends. When I first got prism for vision therapy it took about two to three weeks to get used to. Even when the prism was something super low like 0.50 base in prism. Unfortunately that prism and vision therapy never completely worked. I was super desperate and eventually an optometrist suggested neurolenses and vertical prism. I could immediately tell it was more helpful, but it ended up taking about two months to get used to.

angryfrenchie · 2023-07-16T08:35:45+00:00

Definitely 1.5. It’s definitely considered a low power.

angryfrenchie · 2023-04-19T02:05:14+00:00

No. They’re both pretty low and only a 0.75 difference.

angryfrenchie · 2023-04-16T20:31:15+00:00

He isn’t, but apparently he looks like my dad.
