A member asked:

My new glasses are causing my distance vision to be blurry. what should i do?

Recheck: Go back to your original eyeglass correction prescriber (this was an ophthalmologist?) and have the power re-checked. If your vision in the office originally was excellent, then the power likely will need adjustment.

Can a poke in the eye change eye prescription? A month ago I poked myself while putting on my glasses. Saw a doctor a week later who said it looks fine, but I feel like my vision in that eye is a bit blurrier than the other eye. Cause for concern?

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.
