Default OD +3.75, OS-0.75 Both near and farsighted - i need some answers?

the diopter machine read OD:+3.75, OS-0.75. it reflects the reality, i see better in the distance with my right eye but i can't read with it - and vice-versa.i had strabismus when i was little-i did a lot of eye exercises,then an operation when i was 6.the operation succeded. I had glasses another 2 years - then i didn't have to wear them anymore. now i'm 28.last year i had a more serios eye exam with the above mentioned readings.i wear glasses again:+1.5 for right eye and zero for the left eye.it's very annoying because i realize that i'm using a different eye for different type of activity.when i gaze in the distance i look with my right eye,when i read i definitely use only the left eye.(my left eye is not very good with seeing distant objects and i'd like to have this fixed - but the doctor said they don't want to put a difference larger than 1.5 between od and os.i'd be willing to try both some - for my left eye and more + for my right eye-if that would bring me a better vision.
i would be willing to try glasses with a larger number difference - one with plus and one with minus. now i have a 1.5 difference - i feel there's no much difference when i have them on - and i'd like to see that difference. is what i have called Anisometropia? where do i find more information-and advice?it's VERY annoying to see so differently with each eye-it seems i have to adapt my eyes to each thing that i look at...
i don't have any problem with wearing glasses - if they would give me a better confort... i don't want to think of lasik or other surgical interventions - and i think i wouldn't be confortable with contact lenses either. i need advice on glasses...
i was still searching in the internet.
I am looking for Antimetropia ... - please anyone knows to give me a solution? some advice - some personal experience...

I wish I could. I am nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other as well. I am much older than you; have tried for prescription glasses but driving a car with them on make me ill. I still have to have magnifiers to read now (mid sixties) but pretty well can see distance. Hope there's an eye doctor out there who can help us a little...like you, it's frustrating.
