Bought new glasses with exact same prescription as last pair. Right eye has constant ache with new pair. Doc and optician can't figure out why.

New glasses eye exam. My prescription changed very small. Couple months later glare when I see lights at night hard to see when I see that. Today vision a little off. Could it have anything to do with glasses? Confused. Thank you?

Is it okay if I wear glasses who have a difference of -.25 on both eyes? My prescription sunglasses are -5.25 and -5.50 but my new eyeglasses are -5.50 and -5.75. I can see clearly with both but is the swapping detrimental to my eyes?

I see slightly more blurry with my left eye, but whenever I put on my glasses, the effect reverses and the right eye sees worse. My prescription is the same in both eyes. Is my prescription wrong, and do I need different ones in each eye instead?
