Hello Doctor,

I am myopic and my age is 22. I am wearing glasses for 7 years now. my eye power has always increased since then. I recently got my eye power checked. Firstly they checked through computer which gave my right eye power as S.E. -3.12 and left eye power as S.E. -3.25. Secondly an optometrist checked them by giving me different powered lenses and asking me to read the letters. He gave my right eye power as -2.75 and left eye power as -3.00 , no "S.E." in that. Why is there a difference between the two tests results?

My question is,Which power is accurate?
Should I go with the higher power for more clear vision? Or is it dangerous to wear a little bit high powered glasses?

Kindly answer to my query.
