Seriously, what the fuck is this?

    I have an old lens from over 6 years ago from broken glasses that works better than my newer old glasses from 3 years ago.

    Pretty sure I know my own eyes and the lenses I have available. The best lens I have right now is a prescription monocle I keep in my wallet.

      I can see you’re frustrated with the handwriting on this prescription, and with them telling you you need a new eye exam. I don’t know that folks here can help any more than they have - I’ve had the same experience where Zenni or Warby Parker wouldn’t let me order new glasses without a more recent prescription.

      Seems like the best way to move forward is to get a new exam, and right after verify that you can read what the prescription says. If your eyes are temporarily out of whack afterwards you could bring an acquaintance to read it, or even ask the closest stranger to verify.

      I would highly encourage a new eye exam. No need to get glasses or order anything from your optometrist but an eye exam.

      It sounds like none of the above give you that nice crisp 20/20. I find every like 2 or 3 years my eyes change a bit and that slight change in prescription sometimes makes a significant difference before and after new vs old glasses.

        My old backup lens gives me 20/15 vision, considered better than perfect.

        I think I’ll stick with what I know thank you.

            I don’t know everyone’s eyes, but I know my own eyes. I’ve lived with them all of my life. And I know how to compare the results on my own with a pinhole occluder. Look it up.

            My older prescription is better than this Walmart shit I’m wearing.

            I never asked any one of you for any medical advice or opinions. All I asked is how to read this doctor’s handwriting shit in the first place.

            People have been telling me for years to just order glasses online, just type in the numbers from the exam.

            Well how the fuck am I supposed to do that when I can’t read doctor’s jibberish…?

            Sorry I asked a question about obscure handwriting. I wasn’t asking any medical question.

            If I would have known how to read this chicken shit handwriting years ago, I would have ordered new glasses before the prescription expired.
