PS good thread! Thanks for your time.
There is some slight variation day to day in your prescription. It can also vary with the amount of digital usage.

If you feel your night vision is pretty good then you probably are close to the correct prescription. One issue is that clarity is not the only aspect to vision. There is "comfortable" vision to. That is a much more complex thing to figure out. Sometimes there are disorders in our binocular vision that are often overlooked. Also, at any age it is possible that someone may need a different prescription for near vision vs distance vision. There are products that provide this without being a bifocal or progressive lens (eg. Zeiss Digital).

If it seems like you never get a prescription that works you should book with a someone that specializes in Binocular vision (it will typically say on their website bio).
