Correction is trial and error.  Whatever  glass u are comfortable is prescribed to u...  Get it checked once again after complete evaluation.

You need to get your prescription checked again if not comfortable. For the time being, you can wear your older glasses if they are more comfortable, but it’s not a long term solution as it will lead to strain.
