I wanted to order glasses online.My OS Cylinder is -4.00 but the online site only goes to -3.75 would that work? Is it possible to change that number and see clearly?
Dr Joan Hansen's response:
Shane,
Any prescription with cylinder is best fitted by a qualified dispenser who can make sure that the finished glasses are fitting properly so that you can get the ultimate vision from your lenses. No you cannot change your prescription…. can you change a drug prescription when you go to a pharmacy?
