Extreme Differences in Eyesight - Glasses?!
Question: Extreme Differences in Eyesight - Glasses!?
My right eye is near on perfect, that the lense for it on my glasses is made of plastic!. But my left eye is horrible, the lense is really thick!. So, when I look through my glasses, everything with my left eye looks noticeably smaller than they do on my right eye!. Even though I've adjusted (can focus with both eyes without headache, etc!.) , could there be any problems with these discrepancies in how I see things in my eyes!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Not if you've adapted!.
Some people are more flexible than others!.
Anything over a two-dioptre difference and you can expect some people to have problems, but I've known people to wear four and five dioptre differences and have binocular vision without strain, completely against the text-book!.
With big differences contact lenses do offer a better chance of comfortable visual fusion, and a more balanced cosmetic appearance than glasses!. But if there's no problem, there's no need to go there!.

I'm kind of confused by what your saying!. So, you said that you have little or no correction in your right eye and either a -4!.00 or -2!.25 refraction in your left eye!? What do you mean when you say "by one system"!? First of all, a -4!.00 lens is totally different from a -2!.25 lens!. But basically yes, having a difference in lens thickness (from 1 eye to the other) can effect your vision, but it would be kind of important to know if your a -4!.00 or a -2!.25!. What was your prescription prior to this!? Was it similar!? Of course, images will look different through your higher powered lens compared to a lens that has no Rx in it due to the curvature!. And they will look smaller because of the type of refraction you have!. Similar to a "+" powered lens that magnifies images (convex lenses) making the image appear larger than normal!. Your type of refraction "-" will make images appear smaller due to your lenses being the opposite curvature (concave lenses)!. What matters is how you see with BOTH eyes together!. If your not comfortable with your glasses (due to Rx or cosmetic reasons) then I would suggest going back to your doctor's office and see if they can look at the glasses and possibly fix the problem (if any) for you!. It's kind of hard to diagnose something without seeing it, like a mechanic trying to figure out a car problem over the phone!. We have to see the eyeglasses in order to find the problem, if there is any!. That's my best suggestion for you!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
