: My ophthalmologist's tech did a lousy measurement on both my computer distance glasses and my progressives. (Walmart agreed to remake the progressives after I went back to the M.D. again. Keep in mind this is the 3rd time the ophtho practice did not get an Rx's right, between 2 different M.D.s and different techs). Walmart told me they could not do any further re-makes, this was the LAST time. I decided to just deal with the uncomfortable new computer glasses for now and lean into the screen until I can switch to an optician who understands when I say 24-25 inches I mean 24-25, not 16-18!).

: Walmart told me it's usually the ophtho's tech who gets the Rx wrong (not the M.D.) and that opticians are more experienced than an M.D.'s tech. (And I always thought it was better to trust my eyes to an ophtho.)

: Anyone have experience with a Costco optician versus Walmart's? We do not have any other optical centers nearby.

Reading glasses are for hyperopia (farsightedness). I have myopia (remove my glasses to read a book or fine print.) nmOP 09:48:43 4/14/2011 (1)
- No, they are magnifiers too. I have tons. None worked though. Needed computer glasses. nm Becky 09:59:14 4/14/2011 (0)
My reading glasses would not work for a computer screen. Too far away. They only work well with a book fairly close to my face. Just sayin 06:47:44 4/14/2011 (0)
