Last week I went to the optometrist as described here. Today the lenses arrived and I went over to the office to pick them up. Back at the house I eagerly installed the new lenses and went outside for a go at seeing how they work. They were great. I tried out all combinations of glasses I have (mostly those over the counter readers) and found that the new contact prescription worked exactly as I had hoped. The new prescription is +1.00 diopter stronger in both eyes.
