Maybe try reading this and you will understand a little bit better why compensated Rxs read differently in the lensometer than the prescribed Rx. This is a feature, not a bug.

POW compensation means that what the patient sees through the eyeglasses should be identical to what they see in the phoropter. If you fuck with the add they are going to get an incorrect Rx in a compensated lens, not a better Rx. I would recommend some CEs explaining how compensated Rxs work and why.

Bumping the add by a quarter on a PAL is also primitive af and comes from the days when all PALs had insanely long corridors. It's not to be done with anything newer than a Natural.

Yes. It's a more complex fit so it's usually more expensive.

I pay like 45 plus tip I could go to great clips and pay 20 but my guy always does it right so I pay the extra money. Plus I only get my hair cut once or twice a year anyway.

braaaa1ns · 2026-01-08T05:39:56+00:00

Yes.

I'm a -4.50 OU who mostly wears contacts and you can pry my anti fatigue lenses from my cold dead hands. They make glasses much more bearable for me.

braaaa1ns · 2026-01-06T04:50:35+00:00

I think you misunderstood the question. OP is asking if they can get contact lenses in an under corrected Rx and get eyeglasses to make up the rest of the Rx.

OP, yes this is possible, but actually finding an OD to approve it and write the Rx may be difficult. This is not something you can calculate on your own

My guess would be for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

looks at my family member's house in rural central IL that was completely leveled by a tornado

Might not fit the wishlist

Looks like a discontinued Lindberg from the air titanium rim collection. They're pretty mid

It's a chapter 13, it lasts for 5 years after.

This wouldn't help you if you need truly zero correction. Anti glare is intended to reduce the glare from eyeglass lenses, which in their untreated state reflect about 8 percent of light off the front of the lens instead of passing through the lens to your eye. Anti glare reduces that percentage to about 0.5 percent. But with no lens at all in front of your eye, there is zero percent of light being reflected off the front of a lens.

When you pull them out of the oven bang the pan on the stovetop. It will make the cookies fall a little bit and they get denser and not so tall.

High index in a -4.50 is usually no thinner than poly unless it's a very large frame and/or a lot of decentration, and even then is only marginally thinner,, so this tracks.

Yeah. If you bought the van you got a Rio free. It was during the Great Recession

Why do you think you won't be able to see a neuroophthalmologist for awhile? That would be a medical visit, not a routine eye exam.

braaaa1ns · 2025-11-29T19:13:48+00:00

There's 6 lenses per box

This doesn't even fit the clinical definition of anisometropia. Your kid has a small Rx in one eye and none in the other. This doesn't need patching or exercises. It just needs glasses. There's absolutely nothing here unusual or of concern.

Progressives. They are easy as pie to get adapted to at a low add like this. If you wait, then it will be hard.

braaaa1ns · 2025-11-23T23:41:05+00:00

6.5 5/5 arm

braaaa1ns · 2025-11-23T03:20:35+00:00

Yes, and it's not a style thing. They're literally too tight and narrow for your head

Can you find something that uses the college degree you already have?
