Could i convert my prescription to dioptre?

Your prescription is the power in diopters of your glasses.  No conversion necessary.  If you don't have your prescription, your eye doctor can use a special instrument to read the power of your glasses.

No way.\n\nBeing in the medical field, I'm over at the Health & Beauty boards a lot, and I see plenty of wrong answers that are picked as best answer.  It's the blind leading the blind!  I'm just hoping people check with their doctor before taking any advice.\n\nHowever, I think Yahoo Answers is a good starting point.  It's like having a conversation with your friends.  They might give you some ideas, suggestions, or explanations that you didn't think of before, but it's up to you to research & verify if the answer is correct.

1%? That is a very low dose. If you're not feeling a difference in a couple of weeks I would ask the Doctor if he can up the percentage. He may want to give you a month. Follow the prescription and be patient. It does take a little time, but if you don't notice a difference, the percentage can definetly be raised from what your currently taking.

That's totally normal for a new prescription. It seems like every time they change my prescription for my glasses and contacts my perspective just seems weird for about the first two weeks, but then it goes away. Of course I still get that sensation when I switch between my contacts and glasses, but just for few minutes. \n\nAll I can say is, keep wearing your glasses consistently, and give it about two weeks - everything should seem normal by then. \n\ngood luck :)

Go to any eyeglass shop. Some do it for free (or a nominal charge) to help sell glasses. Take your old prescription with you  (if the new prescription is very different from your old one, just go to another shop, just to be sure..make an excuse to get  their prescription: I left my travelers checks at my hotel I'll be back tomorrow). \n\nYes, all throughout Asia it is common to have your eyes examined at the shop that sells the glasses (usually by an optometrist). Do not be concerned most are very qualified and do an excellent job. In America it's all about how much money they can extract from you. \n\n I have all my glasses and exams done in India and I pay less than 10% of what it would cost in the USA. I got anything you can get in USA (I.E., titanium frames, photo gray, ant-scratch plastic, etc) and I see just fine, and the quality is just as good.

It would depend on how much the sun really bothers your eyes, and I guess does it matter to you how you look.  You can always buy the clips that go on your prescription glasses, which would be way cheaper.

Well, I don't know the specifics of your problem, but I can offer a bit of an explanation of what your doctor said.  Glasses wouldn't help you because the lenses for each eye would be dramatically different.  Since you're very near-sighted in the one eye, you would need a very strong lens that would ultimately make the image on your retina much smaller than the image on your other retina.  If these two images are very different sizes, your brain can't put them together into one image and you see double.  If both of your eyes can be corrected to 20/20 vision, I would ask your doctor (or another doctor, if you'd like a second opinion) if LASIK is an option for you.  This could possibly bring your very near-sighted eye close enough to the other eye so that your brain would be able to make a single image.

If you have had them for 2 years, they may be wrong but if you still have the original prescription, it could be possible that your doctor can change/exchange them for you.  You vision could've changed within a 2 year period.  Good Luck Hon.

See an optometrist. This could be serious. I doubt an OTC medicine could help you with this.

This totally depends on the med and what the doc has to say. Dont do it without his advice and careful watch. Even for a low level of medication. Especially if it is something you have been taking and your body is used to.
