Spectacles with scratches effect on RPow
Hello doctor, I just want to ask if it's better to use
1. Specs with too many fine scratches and stains if they're of the correct refractive power
OR
2. Specs with a difference of 0.25 refractive power in one eye and 1-2 prominent scratches.
As a student preparing for a competitive exam I do not want to spend time selecting and buying a new frame for the next 5 months unless it will significantly affect my refractive power since it is as high as - 5 and - 4.75 or be a potential cause of headaches.
Thank you

Ideally you should get a new pair of glasses (get one extra if possible)
The glass from which you see should not be having scratches as that will hamper your visibility
