Can eyesight improve over time?!
Question: Can eyesight improve over time?
Answers:
Two points here. Firstly eyesight CAN improve over time, although it is much more common for it to get slightly worse.
Secondly - the contact lens prescription will NOT be the same as your glasses prescription because the lens sits on your eve instead of 12-15cm in front of it. The higher your prescription, the more difference will be.
So if the new guy was talking about your glasses prescription I'm not surprised its different. I have to say though its isn't normal practise to ask the patient what their last prescription was! It should be taken from your glasses or lenses, or a copy of the prescription from last time!
Go back to him and ask if you were both talking about the same thing. If that doesn't help get a second opinion.

Get a 2nd or 3rd opinion and eye sight does not improve overtime when you get older as many factors are involve such as lens get larger and thicker and the back of the eye get further away from the eyeball and difficult in focusing since the eye muscle is no longer as supple as it use too.
