I got a new vision prescription a few months ago. Strongest lenses I’ve ever had. They were terrible… everything was crystal-clear, but I couldn’t read my phone. When I went back for the checkup, the practice’s other optometrist droppedblthe prescription by .5 diopter in each eye, and gave the term “intermediate range” for a prescription that’s good enough to read a computer and drive, but which does not correct your vision to 20/20 at 100 yards.

The second prescription was still too strong. I ended up mail ordering contacts with my old glasses’ prescription.
