Eye doctors and typical inexpensive places use a machine that looks kind of like when you go to a vacation spot and they have metal binoculars that you put change into to use. Due to my eyes that device does not work on me. It is sort of amusing. They insist on trying and then give up in frustration. Only thing that works for me is the flip lens option. It takes far more time.

You use the term,"My new lenses." Did you order lenses to fit into you old, perhaps expensive frame? It is not just the prescription. The lenses need to be centered on your eye. Many ???? doctors ????? do not put that on the prescription. Perhaps because while they do or should measure that, you need that information to order the glasses
from another seller or mail order. Your new lenses can be the correct prescription but not properly ground to fit the frames. .

My OPINION, I do not always follow my own advice. I would get a second opinion. It, could be a medical issue or just poorly prescribed and or made glasses.
Are you saying that the devices most opticians use to measure pupil distance are not accurate? Or, are you saying that a company that grinds lenses for a frame would do it without knowing the patient's pupil distance? Just asking.
