Lightbulb changed prescription?

Was the prescription changed?

You know, one of the networks did an eyeglass experiment and found that a pretty high percentage of glasses are made WRONG.

I think it was ABC.

If Alan has astigmatism, and that is in the prescription and the
lens is not centered properly or ground properly, there will be a huge problem.

Also a change in the bifocal..can be rough. I wear trifocals now and when I had my close vision strengthened, it was very hard for me to walk for a while. I had to get 2 pairs of glasses, for the transistion. One pair with bifocal for work/driving, with middle distance on the bottom and my nearsighted far vision on the top. And a second pair for table/art/computer work.
Eventually I did get used to the full trifocal, but in the beginning with them I was a bit nauseous and tripped alot. We have alot of stairs here, and I could not afford a fall.

I'd take them back to have them remade.
You know once I had a pair made and when I put them on, they formed a light sphere just above my center vision. This was really strange. Everywhere I went a white ball was in my vision. The optical place tried to pooh pooh me and I was really adamant. They remade the lenses, and voila..the mystery white light was gone.
