Prescription Adaptation Concerns
I’ve been experiencing eye strain in my right eye since 2020 despite trying various treatments, including combined spherical and cylindrical prescriptions, prism correction, and vision therapy. In January 2025, I started using a new cylindrical-only prescription, which has reduced the strain, but mild strain still persists. I follow a routine with proper lighting, breaks, and some exercises to manage it. Is mild strain normal during adaptation to a new cylindrical prescription, or should I be concerned about other underlying issues? I have a follow-up appointment on February 15, 2025.
Kind regards,

Hi
Mild strain is common during adjustment to new specs which will reduce in couple of days.If it is not reduced then you should check the power again.If you follow other routine care for eyes there won’t be any strain because of specs.
Next Steps
Less screen time,Frequent blinking,near sight and far sight exercises washing eyes in between work and enough sleep will help to reduce strain
