How To Choose a Differential Glasses Prescription If You Have High Astigmatism
There's a recent thread in the forum where I spent quite a bit of time answering some questions that tend to come up a lot. It's relevant for just about anyone starting out with healthier prescription management, and a good primer if you need some pointers. I really do need to get a good FAQ for this aspect. The blog format isn't entirely ideal to keep key topics from disappearing into the archives! Brandon asks in the forum: I just [...]
A Doctor’s Job: Gather Symptoms, Identify Illness, Match With Prescription or Procedure
This article, a bit off-topic, is to provide a bit of perspective on what a doctor (most doctors, certainly not all) does for you.
