Hi Spin,

I personally always request that I be provided with a lens with no astigmatic (cylinder) component - because of that trapezoid effect of that cylinder. The "spherical equivalent", that will still give you excellent vision would be approximately -.5

I just wanted to put this out there. I'm a filmmaker/photographer and editor so I too cannot live with what was happening with the trapezoids and reading 2-3 words at a time moving my head around to find focus. I just came back from the eye doc afterhaving trapezoid/headache problems with my new and first ever pair of eyeglasses/progressives. I also have an astigmatism. I had looked online to see many others with similar problems and replies telling them they should give it a few weeks to get used

I just got glasses (astigmatism) for the first time and am seeing the
same thing! Text is super clear but when looking at the monitor on my
right, it looks like |/ and when looking at the monitor to my left it
looks like \|. My optician says to give it a couple days to see if it
goes away, but it's hard to imagine that it will.
I noticed that the shape of the lens matches the distortion. If I
look at the lenses while they are laying flat, the right/bottom
corner of the right lens curves in more than the left/bottom corner
of the right lens (same vice-a-versa).
Is this just a side-effect of wearing glasses or is there a fix for
this?

Update:astigmatism. Apparently zeis then a few weeks later sent the glasses back and before the dr called me, he tried them on and could still see the trapezoid, so he sent them back a 3rd time.
The dr sent my glasses back to zeis, i got them back and same exact issue still. Then the dr tried my glasses on and he could see the trapezoids too. He then gave me another examination and said that he would slightly change my prescription for an
I just got them back on Sat and the trapezoid affect is still there, but slightly better. Zeis took it upon themselves to remove the polished edge, thinking that not allowing in so much light might help. Not sure if adjusting the astigmatism helped (alittle) or if removing the polished side helped (a little). But then i tried to read on my iphone and now reading is blurry. With my old glasses or with no glasses at all i can read perfectly find, but not with these new glasses (my glasses are for
I took the glasses back again to the dr and he had me put the new glasses on and then put a glass lens over one of my eyes and i could read better. So now he says that i need progressives. It's a bit confusing, i told him that i can read fine with noglasses or with my old glasses on. He says that the new high def glasses are causing me not to read correctly, but the original new glasses (without the astigmatism) i could read fine with...it seems that the astigmatisim adjustment that he made made my
I asked the optical tech, well, if the original glasses and the new glasses both still cause me to see trapezoids and that i just need to get use to them, then i'd like to go back to the original prescription, because with those i had no problem withreading (or seeing long distance). The dr though refused and said that he would not change the prescription back to the original.
so now i got a new charge for progressives, which i'm now nervous could make my eyes worse and the trapezoid affect is still there...not to mention, with the frames, all the testing and the lenses, i paid about $800 for these glasses.
Hi all, I thought I'd update this post. (I know, it's been a year!) - so the trapezoid issue was the lens manufacturer. I spent 4 months going back and forth to the place I purchased them from, they told me it was the shape, size, bend - and that Ishould give up on progressives, so bought separate readers and driving glasses - still saw trapezoids. I gave them a month to get used to and although it got better, it wasn't great. Editing was still very difficult.
Long story short - I went to another manufacturer and had no problems! I even bought some cheap back ups online - no problems and using progressives. Don't let anyone tell you trapezoids are normal! Good luck, cheers.

Hello, What was the manufacturer. I'm not fooled by this problem,
I've had it with regular glasses as well. the one lens was off by
around 60% off horizontal. so if you tip the glasses and look through
them you can see when they focus correctly. What burns me up is that
the store tries to tell you that you need to get use to them! yea
Right! The left side of my car steering wheel looks around 8" closer
then the right side like someone pushed it in on the right.

Before my cataract surgery I had between 2 and 3D of astigmatism in each
eye and glasses (over a period of 40 years) were always an improvement
-- with exceptions of two pair that were just made wrong. The sudden clarity could have masked any geometric oddity -- I just can't remember
that being a problem.
Give your brain a few days to sort it out. That's what I'm doing with
my monovision contacts (just got 2 days ago), which I thought I wouldn't
be able to tolerate but which seems to be becoming more acceptable.
Hi All,
I had the same issue and after few consultation, doctor said that I have keratoconus. It is a case where eye cornea shape changes regularly. In other words we can say, progressive astigmatism.
Hence, I would suggest you to consult doctor to check on this case.
Finally I got glasses without shape distortion but compromising on clearness in reading text at long distances
