Eye power not adjusting
I recently got eyes checked for power. It increased in both eyes from -2 to -3 cylindrical.
The person said he is also adding spherical number of +0.5 to both eyes to relax eyes muscles.
Can I go for spectecals without spherical number or it will be difficult to adjust to new cylindrical power without spherical power along with it.
Please advice.

We don't usually expect a sudden change/increase in eye power at your age.
If you have got it verified by an Ophthalmologist then ok. Else please visit a doctor, we should put drops, dilate your eyes and recheck the power.
Make your glasses only after dilated eye examination.
