Sagebrush posted:if they intentionally gave you the wrong prescription out of spite for not buying from them, that is huge malpractice and you'd be rich I used a phone app and ordered Zenni glasses and if they're off it's by a tiny, tiny amount, enough that I'm still basically getting the full benefit.

She got lasik back in the early 2000s and it messed with her night vision, and her vision hadn't stabilized yet so it all went bad again. I'm considering lasik next year, not having to wear glasses would make my photography much more enjoyable and save me money on regular contacts. My vision hasn't changed for at least a decade tho.

I should probably learn to be okay with poo poo touching my eyes and get some contacts. my prescription isn't too funky so they wouldn't be incredibly expensive and I'd probably keep wearing glasses most of the time anyways

your prescription will change, but i don't think your interpupillary distance should, because your eyes are stuck where they are in your skull. idk though i'm not a doctor

i mean, i've been getting separate prescriptions for glasses and contacts for as long as i've worn either. afaik they've never had the same numbers but i don't know anything about optometry really. maybe its an astigmatism thing?

yeah, that would do it. the astigmatic axis is going to be different because of something to do with how the lenses sit on your eyes vs when they're sitting in front of them. (both of mine are 5 degrees different from the glasses axis, in opposite directions). also you can in theory get an axis prescription measured down to single degrees, but they don't make disposable lenses in that many variants, so you'll get whatever is closest. i only occasionally wear contacts, but they're not quite as pin-sharp as my glasses, which i attribute to these issues with the astigmatism.

to be clear on the glasses, the apps I used are only for pupil distance, and I believe they have a way to allow for individual eye pupil distance. Zenni also obviously does not sell contacts, at least to my knowledge

For the time being can you get a diopter for your viewfinder? I used one with my GW690 for a long time and loved it.

rotor posted:has anyone had any luck getting their eye dude to actually give you your prescription in writing? in My Area optician salons run a promo where you get a full vision checkup for 2$ but the results are not divulged to you unless you buy the glasses from them too. that's the only time i was NOT given my prescription lol. i usually just get a pair from them (i know computers are real but i really value being able to try on glasses) and a spare pair from Zenni or whatever

"i'm moving to Germany next month" "oh ok. i've cancelled your subscription, you're good to go" even companies that are also active in germany just shrug and let you go, because no one has any way to transfer a customer across borders
