You can certainly try revisiting your previous opto, you might find they will objectively measure your current vision even while having your records. If you are concerned that they won't, or have already found this to be the case, then a new opto is a good idea. We typically recommend people to see an ophthalmologist as their primary focus is not lens sales. | You can certainly try revisiting your previous opto, you might find they will objectively measure your current vision even while having your records.

Rather it is your original opto or a new one it is a fairly common practice for the shop to measure your current lenses. You might avoid some issues with preconceptions if you hand them your differentials or at least a reduction you know is not quite 20/20. Another option is to decline, you can do that as the customer, and ask them to measure you from scratch. Obviously being polite but firm is going to be the best approach. | Rather it is your original opto or a new one it is a fairly common practice for the shop to measure your current lenses.
