    I don't like wearing reading glasses!
    I turned 45 and my eyes went to hell.

    Dave, you seem smarter than the average bear.

    Why is it that my new reading glasses designed to correct slight astigmatism and farsightedness make my head feel like its being pulled into the lenses. My optician says there is no reason for it but he weakened the lenses just to make sure. I am pretty sure he is an idiot. I can't see very well out of my old glasses but they don't actually make me feel ill like the new ones.

    I bet you have a minus prescription, I KNOW you have a cyl, but, humor me, are the centers of your lenses, or the edges thicker?

    if you could post a high res picture of them, at an angle that will let me see the back curve and edges that would help

    I also think your optician may be a moron.

    I BET, that they didn't do a vertex distance compensation.

    you have polycarbonate lenses, with nonglare coating.

    be careful with the nonglare, it scratches super easy, and you've got lint on those.

    edit: but, the power looks too low for vertex distance to really matter. those are less than a diopter.

    I think they probably should have added an eigth of power, but people don't actually do that, so it would be a quarter.

    Yeah, I know i've got lint, I need to clean them. For now, i'm just using my old glasses, they don't see that well but they don't give me a headache either. I'm really pissed off, opticians rarely get it right. Would the nonglare have anything to do with my eyes feeling strained?
