That's odd. Most optometrists I've seen over my life (and specifically here in Canada, BC) will keep trying to adjust and ask you if it's sharper or not before they settle on the numbers. They'll go higher or lower power and/or astigmatism in different increments. They're also generally pretty cool with things like testing with a laptop monitor and getting the sharpest computer prescription.
Maybe this is your sweet spot?
- simoncion 2y ago> Maybe this is your sweet spot? I doubt it. I played around a bit with the hand-lenses and was able to get a much more clear picture by increasing the lens strength more than the doctor was willing to. If the doctor was making any sort of tradeoff, they were not informing me of it. They kept asserting that I was "corrected to 20/20" when I protested that the letters on the chart were still quite fuzzy. If they'd have informed me of a "close range vs. long range" lens tradeoff, I would have happily informed them of my willingness to have multiple pairs of glasses.
