Should I Replace The Lenses In My Glasses?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

I recently switched doctors and got a new prescription for my glasses. My current lenses are only a year old and since I primarily wear contacts, I wasn’t planning on updating them. However, I did notice some changes in the prescription that seemed strange so I’m looking for an informed opinion.
Year old:
Right Eye -
Sph: -3.50 Cyl: -1.75 Axis: 180
Left Eye –
Sph: -3.50 Cyl: -4.75 Axis: 005
New:
Right Eye –
Sph: -4.00 Cyl: -1.00 Axis: 180
Left Eye -
Sph: -3.75 Cyl: -4.25 Axis: 005
Now this all looks like voodoo to me, but I’m guessing it means the new Rx corrects somewhat more for myopia, especially in the right eye, and a little less for astigmatism. I frequently experienced severe headaches over the last year when I wore these glasses; however, the contacts the old doc gave me were awful (hence switching doctors). I’m not sure if the prescription for the glasses was off or if the headaches were just from the drastic difference between the Contacts of Doom and the glasses. The new contacts are working out well, so I trust the new doc – I just don’t know how much difference there is between the old Rx and the new one. If it’s significant, I’d consider it worth the money to get new lenses. If not, a penny saved is a penny earned.
Thanks.

    It would probably be worthwhile getting the right lens changed at least , if you want to be able to wear them comfortably after removing your contacts.
    You are probably the best person to know if the difference between your glasses and contacts bothers you when you switch. If so, get them changed.
    I would think the right lens may give you problems, but the left has a very small difference.

    I’d be getting both lenses changed if I were you.
