I've had the bad luck that my first prescription was quite wrong: incorrect axis for astigmatism, and incorrect spherical (I basically have only astigmatism, no spherical). So for years I was suffering through the days. Optometrists flat out refuse to correct such mistakes (I've been to many!), preferring only minor changes. I finally started ordering a bunch of glasses cheaply online, and eventually found a prescription that works for me. Cannot trust optometrists anymore.

I found an ophthalmologist that gets my prescription right, with optometrists it's a roll of the dice.
I would love to speak with you. This is the exact case I'm interested in. I'm at jbornhorst [at] gmail [dot] com if you have 20-30 mins to spare.
