I have received my new glasses with Nikon Online 1.5 HCC lenses. My prescription is 2.5. I work on two side by side monitors. When I move my head from side to side the whole text seems to move (distortion?) and i am getting dizzy. Are there any better lenses that could eliminate this problem?

Dr Joan Hansen's response:

Joanna, In your case you may be better with a computer reading lens where the entire lens is focused on the computer screens. All Progressive Addition lenses have some distortion at the sides, and if you need to be able to see across the room as well, you may need to have a pair of trifocals made. Trifocals are the ones with the lined reading and computer segments. Discuss this with your Optometrist and the person who made your glasses.
