Mar 20, 2011 3:51 PM in response to amanitamby BGreg,★HelpfulWelcome to the Apple discussions.
As a glasses wearer myself, would an option for you be a set of glasses that you can use only with the computer? I'm not aware of a way to adjust the laptop screen in the manner you've asked. It might, however, be possible to do that with an external display, which might have more flexiblity. I have an older Eizo CRT that allows some trapezoidal adjustments to the display. -

Is it the doctor or the optical lab who is telling you this? Sounds rather suspect in that, unless you have an extreme vision impairment the distorts shapes without correction, this situation seem rather outside the box in the art of optical vision correction.
If it's the lab who is telling you the distortion is normal, talk to the doctor who wrote your prescription. If the prescribing doctor and the lab are one in the same, seek a second medial opinion. -

Mar 21, 2011 12:10 PM in response to Allan Jonesby amanitam,I'm leaning towards agreeing with you. I've paid the extra cost to have the prescription made in aspherical lenses and it hasn't helped enough to warrant the expense. I hate being a "squeaky wheel" but the distortion is significant enough to throw me off and I had explained prior to having these made up that any kind of distortion was unacceptable. Thanks for the support if not an answer to the temporary technical fix of the screen :)) -

I wear pretty thick glasses (my vision caused me to flunk my US Military Draft physical during the height of the Viet Nam draft frenzy in the late 60's) so issues with proper correction are higher on my list of suspects than other users.
