I have, but I'm rather certain it was/is not related to my TM.

Months before my TM I had a routine eye exam and got a prescription for
bifocals to replace my old, beat-up, reading glasses. A month and a half
later I had the prescription filled at a chain. The new glasses were
inferior to the old for reading and inferior to the naked eye for
distance. I blamed the chain, but no, the eye doctor confirmed that the
prescription was filled perfectly [by his competition!] He re-examined
and gave me a new prescription, different in both parts. The result was
better, but still inferior. One bad prescription can be an error. But
two?

Either the eye doctor (or his equipment) is incompetent [very unlikely],
or my eyes wiggle, waggle, and wobble from week to week. I know that
there are days when I have trouble seeing, so I conclude that my eyes
vary from day to day. Now the dilemma: it is time for another exam;
should I go back to the same doctor?

Like my eyes, I think this long reply has nothing to do with TM.
