Refraction Prescription

2016-06-21 17:05:33
With my new spectacles one of my eyes is not clear when seen individually. With my old spects both eyes are clear individually. New power prescription is -5 and -6. Old power prescription is -5.5 and -6.5. I am clear with -6 but -5 is not clear. I suspect -5.5 would be ok. The doctor says that ur old axis 120 has been changed to 180 and it will be ok if you wear it continuously for 3 days. Is the doctor right. Pls explain.
