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

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

Incorrect Eye Perscription?

I had my eye glass perscription updated yesterday and am feeling like one of my eyes may be over corrected, if that is possible. I am near sighted and have astigmatism in both eyes. Also, my eyes do not have equal myopia. My left eye feels pretty good with the new perscription, but in my right eye, I can see far away OK, but anything within about 20 feet or so is kind of blurry. I also noticed that that lens is noticably more curved that it used to be. Could the Dr. have over-corrected for astigmatism or something? I know that new glasses take several days to get used to but this feels a little different than past experiences.

Can An Uncomfortable Toric Contact Lens Mean An Incorrect Rx?

I just recently began wearing contact lenses. Supposedly I have Astigmatism in only one eye. Im currently using Acuvue Advance Astigmatism and Acuvue Oasys in the other eye. The Acuvue Oasys feels very comfortable but the other one is torturing me. I feel like I constantly have something in my eye and my vision is blurry. Could this mean that maybe I dont really have an Astigmatism and a regular contact would be much more comfortable. By the way, I know that I’m not supposed to, but I used my other contact in the wrong eye and it felt much better.
