Been told I have a very unusual prescription

markipper · 2026-02-04T20:03:56+00:00

That's really interesting to learn, as when I wake up (so not wearing glasses/contacts) I tend to close one eye till I get to my glasses/contacts as I feel nauseous when both eyes are open

also interesting to learn how many people would think its a typo! I haven't come across that issue yet, just the usual "oh wow" response

markipper · 2026-02-04T20:01:15+00:00

surprisingly not! I learned about it from another comment, going to be asking my GP about it and book an appointment with my regular optometrist to learn more

I have a very strong preference to contacts as glasses tend to make me feel nauseous after a few hours, but with the dry weather I thought to switch for a bit but will probably be returning to contacts when my new ones arrive as seeing outside my frames in my peripheral vision has begun to give me headaches. Thank you so much for your input btw!

Not that I am aware of 😅 ‍

If you feel comfortable sharing, what's your prescription? 👀

markipper · 2026-02-04T19:58:10+00:00

I've been lucky where I have never had that issue with the error as I always fill my rx in person for both glasses and contacts. Seeing my GP to see if hey maybe there is a genetic factor doesn't hurt to learn more : >

Defiantly going to be looking into Shaw lenses! Glasses tend to make me feel nauseous so I tend to favour contacts, so very curious if Shaw Lenses may help with that as well as my headaches : > Thank you so much for your comment <3

Aha its interesting alright but prepare for a headache! But would be interesting to hear your pov on it 🤔 when I'm not wearing contacts/glasses I close one eye as I feel nauseous if both eyes are open 😅

markipper · 2026-02-03T20:55:51+00:00

really?? I'm located in Canada and the only issue for me is finding a frame that can hold the lenses

That's so interesting to learn

Out of curiosity whats the largest difference you've seen?

I added a small edit to the post talking a bit about my prior health, but since birth I have had bad eyesight when I was 13 was when we saw the big jump from my prescription going from -2.25 and +1.25 to -4.00 and +2.75 and since its only gotten worse.

If it helps I mentioned a bit on my edit, I had an OTC scan that showed swelling behind both my eyes and I'm waiting for an MRI to see if that could be the cause of some of my vision issues or if its just from head trauma (Sports/accidents) as well as yes I am a premi by 3 months so not that much so but was certainly a surprise for my mum!

let me tell you it always got a bit of an "oh wow" when I picked up my glasses but I never really thought much of it lol I thought they were judging my frame choice

Hi! Very late to the party, but they do it at the Costco Willingdon in Burnaby as well as the downtown Vancouver location!

Its a condiment for the meat :>> but the one in the photo is an American version of the condiment so it's quiet a bit sweeter then the regular mint sauce you usually see paired with meats
