Ugh... I wish it was this simple, but that's absolutely not the case. Like I said, I even got some high quality free form lenses and it was the exact same thing, so I'm not sure what kind of "good" lenses you're using if they really get rid of these effects.
You had almost exactly the same prescription has me, just that it's inverted for me, -4,25 on left.

What worries me even more about these halo / glare / haze or whatever is that I actually have some of them in contact lenses most of the time (but never with glasses / naked eyes) while most people I asked don't have them.
Like for example, it's pretty common with my contact lenses that I will see some text being like this :
Some kind of double / ghosted text with some glare / bloom around it. It's perfectly fine outside in bright light, but in front of a monitor I can often have stuff like this, not always to the same degree, it kinda depends of the blinks and such... I made these pictures myself to illustrate the issue to ophtalmologist / optometrists but they had no idea about this either, I tried eye drops but that didn't change anything.
So this + my eyes being super tired when I wear them is why I'm not such a fan of contacts... maybe there is some magical brand / model somewhere good for me, but I tried a lot of them and didn't find the "good one".
These issues seem to be really similar to what people describe with lasik, so if I have them with contacts, maybe I'm more at risk of having them with lasik too? I really don't know.
I only have 0,25 of astigmatism in the right eye only, so that's mostly nothing.
Hello!
Maybe i get a little bit, but i never notice it.
I dont know whats called in english but judging by some googling I think so yes , dunno if literal translation helps but its called
You don't know how much I would love that!
Not necesarilly digital fountry lol but some video analyzing this and acknowledging these issues, because it's super depressing to feel like you're the only one having these problems when everyone around you don't understand what you're talking about, even eye doctors. It always feel "nice" when I find people online who have the same issue, I feel less lonely, however it never led to a solution so far.If you knew how many times I thought about this lol Wishing I could just fix it by changing some .ini in my glasses like you do in games.
Are you sure you're not getting any chromatic aberration at all on your monitor? If you look at a white image like this in full screen, aren't the borders orange / blue if you're not perfectly in front of them?

For me the right side for example looks orange if I have my face facing the center of the screen, if I look at the right side just with my eyes, it's orange-ish, and if I move my head to the left while still looking at it, it becomes even more orange, and if I move my head to the right instead, it will become blue. The color fringes start to appear very quickly, I only need to sliiightly move my head to change their strenght.
Coatings shouldn't change the amount of CA, and the lens index with the highest abbe value, so the lowest amount of CA, is 1.5 index CR-39 plastic lenses, which is the cheapest type of lens. Going in higher price means higher index which means lower abbe value which means even more chromatic aberration. I'm not sure what I could really do to reduce it, there's nothing in higher price range that seems better for chromatic aberration. I tried index up to 1.67, I also even tried "free form" lenses, the ones with the "digital surfacing", and it didn't help with either chromatic aberration or distortions, it was exactly the same, just a lot more expensive =/
Not super big. I tried different lenses, even small round ones because it was the most recommened thing for that, but I don't really notice any improvement with smaller lenses. The only thing that changes is that, like you said there isn't as much peripheral vision so instead of having more aberration / distortions on the peripheral areas, you just don't have correction anymore, but the lens part still look the same for me.

Do you have similar issues when wearing contacts?I'm so glad I've found this thread! I'm having the same issue, I picked my new glasses up on Monday (03/02) and I still haven't got used to them.
I've been wearing glasses almost 20 years and when I've always had a new pair I would notice the difference but then it would settle down after a day or two.
I have the chromatic aberration which is more noticeable when I'm looking at something with a light behind it.
I'm also having distortion which is making me feel quite dizzy. Nobody I speak to understands what I'm talking about and keep telling me to take them back to the opticians.
When I look out the top of my glasses and down everything seems to squash, it's really hard to describe. If I look side to side out the top then everything slants one way and then the other.
I had similar issues with my last pair but thought the dizziness was due to low vit b12 levels and just ignored it. I must have gotten used to it after a month or two.
My mom has stronger glasses than me, we're both short sighted, she has no issues like this.
It's definitely my glasses and not my eyes. My sunglasses don't seem to be so bad
I'm back to wearing my old pair and am taking them back tomorrow.
I have 2 young children so i can't be feeling like I'm going to fall over all of the time and for over £200 I want them to be working properly
Now that you noticed issues like chromatic aberration and distortions, are you fully comfortable when going back to your old pair? You can't see any of these problems in that old pair?
And you wear only contacts? No glasses at all?
I wear monthly too, I tried tons of different brands but they all make my eyes feel very tired, to the point where I don't even enjoy playing games or watching stuff with them, I don' t feel focused, my eyes always feel very "heavy" and tired, it's super annoying... If at least I could wear contacts without issues then my glasses wouldn't be such a problem.Yes, only contact lenses.
They are month lenses, which need to be replaced every other month or so. (I dont change them as often as they say at the optician)
Over night you put them into the liquid to remain hydrated and soft. You usually notice that they need to be changed if they become dry in your eyes in the evenings.
The type i wear is of an extra soft kind.
Don't do it! Every single person I know IRL has had some sort of issue with that. It took one friend almost a decade before he started to have problems, but he absolutely regrets the procedure now.
Not everyone is reacting well to them. I have heard similar stories from other people. Maybe you should consider having an eye surgery?

I think there must be something wrong with the prescription if it causes a flat lcd monitor to look curved like a crt.
