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?
