I've had nothing but terrible luck getting progressive lenses for years. I'm in the -7 diopter range, so the correction has to be pretty strong. Usually the script is dead on for some part of the visual range but hardly anything else works clearly. The single vision lenses I have for computer use are right on point. I have a pretty significant astigmatism in my left (non-dominant) eye, and that one is always jacked up.

I've been going to the same ophthalmologist for several years now and over that time he's made a few mistakes in the script; twice I've had to have the glasses remade because of errors on his part. He came highly recommended, but the recommendations you get tend to be aligned with whatever hospital system you get them from, rather than true recommendations based on actual craftsmanship.

I'd be interested in figuring out how to find an ophthalmologist who uses the Zeiss i.Scription tool in combination with a subjective test. I probably need to start going first thing in the morning as well; since I have to have my eyes dilated I tend to go in the afternoons after I've been hacking code most of the day; it sounds like that could be hurting the quality of the prescriptions.

If anyone in the Detroit Metro knows of a good ophthalmologist with the Zeiss machine, do send me a note.
