i've had goggles all my life (well, all but about 11 months) and have taken several sets back, even as a kid! i knew when things weren't right - and i would always make sure they were right - headaches just make things so much worse. i've even taken contact lenses back
i know that some of the chain stores can be a bit more exxy, but i love the fact that the shop i go to has my whole history of glasses. i love that, when i was living interstate and lost a contact lens, they could call up the script in another store. and i LOVE that they are great with helping to swap lenses when i'm not happy with them!
Hey I can update now as I went to the optometrist today
Bear with me this is interesting
Turns out that my prescription was right BUT I am a freak with one ear a bit lower and due to that my glasses didn't sit straight and I wasn't looking through the lens at the correct spot and causing issues with my astigmatism. This was causing me to feel sick and tired (besides the usual reasons for me feeling so ). Also I was seeing black writing as brown and it was haloing a bit.
I had no idea that my ears were uneven because I was never told. I assume that every other place I've gotten glasses for has adjusted them for it. Also they said because of the newer trend of narrower frames that's something that they need to get more spot on than they used to when frames were rounder and a bit bigger.
So I have to try them out for 2 weeks and see how they feel.

Well there you go. Who would have thought that an unnoticeably wonky ear could cause so much trouble.
