Reminds me of the Blu blockers my nannie used to wear.

 

Blurry lights sounds like astigmatism. Make sure your prescription is handling this.

Like other have said: See an optometrist.

 

Honda actually sells yellow lens night driving glasses as a geniune accessory in Japan.
I tried a pair on and they were incredible! I wish we could get them here

 

I just got my prescription updated at my eye doctor. I am Myopic as others wrote above me. One thing this eye doctor (new one I've never been to) was able to do, was to reduce my prescription by up to half the strength that I was previously wearing and still see 20/20. The downside was even worse vision at night than before. I still have a box of the higher strength lenses that I wear, but during the days, they strain my eyes. I'd hate to have to switch my lenses out when the sun goes down every day, though it may be a decent fix for now.

I'm on vacation right now, and won't be back in my S2k for about 3 weeks.. but when I get back I'll test out my range glasses theory (maybe take some silly pics) and report back.

Thanks everyone! Especially those of you who cared so much about my vision thats rather nice of everyone... I thought this was the internet where you flame everyone via your anonymity?

 

I've had eye problems since I was tiny. I ws first diagnosed as slightly myopic when I was 5. I'm 31, and it's now almost back to 20-20, due to one's sight lengthening as you get older. I'm in the IT industry as well, and looking at screens all day speeds up this process.

Anyway, my point is that I have never heard of anyone being able to increase or reduce a prescription. It's right or its wrong, and unless a LOT of time passed between the two visits you metnion, one of those 'eye-doctors' is talking utter shit, maybe both.

Go to a reputable specialist and get a third opinion.

Specifically ask them to check for stygmatism or astygmatism, as normal lenses do NOT correct this. Only permanent lenses (hard gas permeable) can properly correct this, unless technology has changed since I last inquired.

 

Soft contact lenses can correct astigmatism -- there are usually a few models made by each manufacturer that do it. I use Preference 55 Toric for this.

The "AXIS" measurement in your prescription is used to describe how to correct the astigmatism.

 

Cool, thanks. Few years ago, that wasn't possible.

 

Sure it was...I started wearing contacts about 9 years ago with astigmatism and they could correct it.

Dunno why your doctor told you otherwise, LOL.


It might depend on the severity of the astigmatism though.

 

The trouble with contacts to correct astigmatism is that every time you blink the contact moves and changes the axis so your correction is going in and out.

As far as correction it depends upon the angle of your astigmatism. Not every lens comes in every angle.

 

Right. It's a pain sometimes, but there's a tiny weight on my lenses that help out w/ this.
