I'm a bit confused about my recent eye test results. I went to Titan Eye and they said my vision is 2.00 on both sides, so I ordered glasses based on that. But a few days later, during a family checkup, another eye test showed my vision as 1.50. When I asked Titan Eye about this, they mentioned that a variation of 0.25 or 0.50 is normal and suggested that wearing 2.00 glasses wouldn't harm my eyes. But I'm not quite convinced. Is it really okay to wear glasses with a slightly higher power, like 2.00 instead of 1.50? Do you think its better to stick with a 1.50 power for reading, or should I consider progressive lenses? I've tested with another doctor who also said it's 1.50. What's your advice on the best route to take here?

I've attached the topography reports my doctor gave me, and they've suggested I should go for TPRK CXL in my left eye. My right eye has a vision of 66 with a 0.5 sph, so the doctor recommended waiting for three months before taking any action. Im a bit concerned and have a few questions. Is it common to have thin corneas from a young age? How long do I need to rest after this procedure? And what exactly is TPRK, especially considering my thin corneas? Could you help me understand what the reports are showing?
