Incorrect Prescription

squonk

Hi,

I recently got my glasses changed. My prescription changed quite a bit on one eye due to having undergone a vitrectomy during the year, I went from being short sighted to being quite longsighted now.

I collected my new glasses about 6 weeks ago but from early on I thought that the vision in the treated eye was nowhere near as good as it should be. Basically up close items appear fine but anything over a few feet gets progressively more blurred as the distance increases.

My guess is that when testing my eyesight, they took my existing older prescription, tweaked it slightly and left it at that. I did however explain at the time that I'd had a vitrectomy and that that I had changed from being short sighted to being quite long sighted now.

What are my options? I'm going to go back and talk to them later this afternoon. I don't want to have to pay for the cost of a new lens. I did go to great pains to highlight the difference. It's not the first issue I've had with this particular opticians in getting these glasses so they strike me as people who don't pay enough attention to what they're being told.
