Couple things it could be is the material itself, not to frequently but sometimes people can be sensitive to the material the lens is made from. Going from plastic to polycarbonate or even if you have worn verilux lenses in the past. Also, did your old glasses have an anti glare coating on them? if they did not and you used that coating in the past, that could be causing issues too. When you say you can see them fine when you turn them over, do you mean having the right eye look out of the left lens? When you went back to your eye doctor, did he give you another exam? or did he just simply read the Rx of the glasses? Your eyes could have changed slightly, but not enough to be effected by your contacts, but enough to throw you glasses out of whack.View Thread

As Dr. K said, as long as they have uv protection, studies have shown that brown lenses do block out certain levels of UV versus a gray lens. That being said, brown lenses do tend to increase the contrast and can give you a bit of a sharper vision, ie, blue blockers. gray lenses may offer more comfort if you feel your eyes are light sensitive, so a minor tint could make a big difference. Good luck!View Thread

Do you wear prescription eyewear? If so, do you wear progressive lenses or bi/tri-focals? If you do, they do make special lenses designed specifically for computer work, this way you have the entire lens to look through rather than a tiny portion of the lens. Focusing through that small portion can lead to eye strain and fatigue over long periods of time. Also, they make special coatings to help reduce the amount of glare that is given off from a computer screen. As far as the pressure, seems you have taken the proper steps to get that investigated by seeing several Dr.'s Hopefully, you can get this issue resolved. Best of luck!View Thread
