Field, thanks for looking; they only go to 250, I’m at +350 in the left eye, that is the problem eye, I’ve gone from 20/40 to 20/50 to 20/60 vision and back and forth for the past 6 months it can change overnight. And the Othomologist doesn’t know why, it won’t stay stable. I’ve been sent to the Retina and Cornea docs and get a clean bill of health from them. The left cataract lens is 16 yrs old, was never the right lens I’ve always seen blurred out of it and the sloppy surgeon nicked a nerve. Right one is 6 yrs old and not a real issue thankfully a different surgeon, the best in Memphis Gary Passions. I’ve had a new Script getting stronger every year for 16 yrs now. Astigmatism is an imperfection in the curvature of your cornea.

My 2015 pair of glasses is +350, and they correct for astigmatism which came with the cataract surgery, didn’t have it before. And plain magnifying devices don’t correct for that abnormality in your vision. I’m blowing up the computer screen until its almost off the page and still see blurred. They no longer work.

They’d be good for some one just wanting to work on a project that just needed a slight vision boost. But noting else. They are not made for driving. I’ve a x 16 with LED lights magnifying glass and still have problems discerning what I see.

‘These eyeglasses will not correct astigmatism. The lenses in these glasses are not for prescription lenses. DO NOT use for driving and/or other operating heavy machinery.’

Sorry to hear that, I didn’t know what parameters the glasses might fit. My problem is with distance, I can’t see clearly beyond a foot. Close-up, I can see above average (itty bitty writing).
