A member asked:

Been seeing halo around lights at nightfor the past year or so.i notice it started soon after i got new prescriptive glasses.could it be the cause or?

Possibly: Yes it's possible your eye glass prescription is incorrect, and the only way to know is to go back to your eye doc and have a refraction. An exam would also help to rule out other causes of nighttime halos, such as cataract, dry eye associated keratitis., or other corneal aberrations.

A member asked:

AXIS values on my prescription glasses 2 years ago were R:20 L:160. New glasses made recently have R:110 L:60. Is such a strong change possible, or could one of the two be incorrect? How is it possible that I can still see well with both glasses?

Was having trouble seeing text on computer unless I looked over top of glasses. Went to vision center & got new glasses but can not pick them up because corona virus caused business to be closed. Is it ok to get reading glasses to see text or wait.
