Do I correct this or leave it be?
My name is Leslie. My name is properly pronounced Less-lee. Coworks, my boss, and new people I meet mispronounce it as Lez-lee. It drives me nuts, but I realize it's not the end of the world. Do I correct this?
5 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoDo you have health insurance?
Do you think it's fair for taxpayers to have to pay for people's social security and disability benefits when these people haven't taken care of themselves? If the only reason they're disabled is because they're obese, have really bad arthritis, have had a stroke, etc...and are no long physically able to work?

1 AnswerPhotography1 decade agoWhy do people ask questions here instead of asking their doctor?
Also, I've noticed that a lot of people who call themselves opticians don't know what they're talking about. For example :
Here is a resolved question :
I have a question about my pupillary distance (PD)...?
My pupillary distance is 63.0, but I have a pair of glasses that is 64.5. My prescription is very low, and minus. Will this affect my eyes in the long run? The difference is about 0.02%....

No, don't worry, that won't affect anything. Especially that it is a low power.
Even if it was a high prescription , 1.5 mm is within tolerance.

My answer :
Having glasses made with a PD different than your actual PD results in unwanted prism. To figure out how much prism is induced, you multiply the difference between your actual PD and the PD of the glasses in centimeters by your prescription. The formula looks like this : prism = cF
In your case it would be : prism = (0.15 cm) x (your prescription).
