Bought sunglasses with weaker perscription then eyeglasses

Hi! Like 4-5 months ago went for my first eyeglasses and optic shop determinate one eye -2.75 and other -3.25. It's seems all good with them and decides to get sunglasses as well with diopric lenses. As my first place I bought glasses didn't had the frames I wanted I went over to look in other and found one, but they insist to make new examination for my eyes i found that U'm wearing too strong and did it their way. Is this going to make my eye worse? As I can see with both good, just with sunglasses not that far as with my eyeglasses..perscription went down from 3.25 to around 2.75...

If you are "happy" with the sunglasses, i.e. they are clear and comfortable and you do not tell any difference between them and your clear pair you can let things ride but if they bother you return ASAP. Most optical will make one change without charge of the glasses RX but only if done in the first several weeks.

Well one of those Rxs is wrong. Either the first or the second is wrong by .05 diopter (either -3.25 or -2.75 is right but not both).

It will not cause any permanent damage to your eye but sometimes the "wrong one" can cause eye strain.

So basically it hasn't any 'side effect' wearing it both during the day, right? Except an eye strain. First ones are fine. And the sunglasses just got today. So if won't feel tired from these it's not necessary to go back and try to get them do it the way I have first ones?
