Following very bad headaches I went to the opticians for a check up. They could see the floaters in my left eye but my eyes were generally healthy. However, the optician said I should not get off the shelf reading glasses any more and should have prescription ones. He said I needed separate presciption for reading and computer work and could get away without any for long distance.
My readings were 2.75 for reading and 1.75 for computer, but in both cases I think I under estimated the distance I held a book and where the computer screen is, so suspect it should be slightly less. The other measurements which I think shows a slight astigmatism (?) were sphere 0.5 (right and left) Cylinder 0.75 (right and left) and axis 90 right and 70 left.
Ideally I want to get off the shelf but does anyone know whteher these readings mean I really need something tailor made. Many thanks for any advice
