Astigmatism Prescription – Can Incorrect Cyl #s Make Things Appear Closer Than They Actually Are?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I got a new eye exam and new prescription glasses. I am not nearsided nor farsided, I only have an astigmatism. 5 years ago, my eye exam was: R: plano, -1.00, 180, L: plano, -0.75, 172. Now, the doctor tested me and came up with:
R: plo, -1.25, 176, Left: plo, -1.00, 168.
I know astigmatism can worsen and rotate, however, my new prescription makes things magnified (appear closer than they actually are). My old glasses did NOT do that. When I got my new glasses, I couldn’t even put my key into my car door! this is not just the fishbowl effect, it’s a physical distortion. I’m worried the CYL numbers are too strong and should be closer to what my old numbers were. I believe I still see 20/20 through my old glasses. I only want things to be clearer, not closer! Please tell me if there’s any justification to what’s happening. I complained to the doctor, but he didn’t retest me with my old glasses on and he said I would have to “get used it”. I’m in disagreement. Please help
