eyeglass pd

i have 2 pairs of glasses each made by different opticians.  one has a pd of 54 and the other has a pd of 59.  my prescription is very minimal.  os: plano -0.50 165 od: plano -0.75 005.  is this pd difference really a big deal if my glasses are so weak?  what kind of problems would i have if it is a problem?  thanks

Yes the PD (pupillary distance) could be a problem although the stronger the lens the bigger the problem. It should not vary as it is the distance between the center of your eyes. One of those is wrong by a pretty wide margin
