any opticians out there?

I had an eye test last week - I now have the perfect excuse for missing the ball, my eyes have got worse.

went to collect the new glasses yesterday - they're worse so instead of having the new ones before I go on holiday (I was looking forward to the prescrition polaroids) I have another test on Sunday.

now to the question. with the new glasses I was seeing a ghost image. at a distance of six feet it was 1/4 inch below the real image.
can you tell from this whether the new glasses have been made too strong or too weak?

Can't answer the question but I found having my eyes lasered was the best thing ever and cured all the problems glasses were having on my game.

Maybe it's just you visualising your next shot?

not that the prescription is necessarily too strong/weak, but more like they'vegot teh axis wrong.
Suprisingly too common these days.
New glasses with a changed prescription shoudl feel a little odd for a day or 2, but should not actually be significantly odd.

A couple of years back i picked up my new specs then drove round teh M25 - couldnt see in my near view mirror - they had made them wrong.
A year or so later i was gettinga nother pair, when the opthalmologist pointe dout that the pair i had been wearing for a year had been made wrong !

Get them checked

went back for a retest yesterday, different optician, different result - but she said the results were changing through the test and recommended getting tested for diabetes.
