sounds good, mr.alcheng!

i remember taking a pair of glasses i bought locally in the US to some optical place in japan and they measured my lens and later told me that the centering of the lens was completely off.

does that mean my eyeballs are like lopsided or on the wrong side of the head or something?

i hate it when im washing my car and some kid with cheeto's on his face shows up bugging me about why im washing my car or why im using a bucket or why my one wash mitt is green and the other one orange, and why i use a brush for the wheels, why i have 3 silver cars, why i have one white car, why i drive so slow with a sports car, why... SHUTUP KID! you're not my son, go bother someone else!!!

well, i dont say that, i just smile and say 'hey kid,

'

... Mr.kenchan, for sure I won't go back to that eyeglasses store anymore or at least they have to redo the job...

Each lenses have an optical center which has the least prism effect, we call that the focal point of the lens.

When the lenses are being cut and mounted onto the frame, we have to decenter the lenses thus the position of that focal point will align in front of the pupil of the eyes when the person is wearing the glasses.

Depends on the prescription, the 'X' mini-meter off from the focal-point-distance will generate an 'X' amount of prism effect, thus the person will feel like 'swimming' when wearing the glasses.

Regarding your experience, your eyes are completely normal (I believe...

), that pair of eyeglasses..... most likely not...

like retirement... the younger the better...

(of cause not young like 9 years old...)

BTW... make sure keep the usual contact lenses wearing hours between 8 - 10 hours only... no matter what brands of soft lenses... for the health of the cornea...
