My new glasses feel off. What is going on?!
Question: I have a pair of glasses I have been wearing for about 1.5 years. They seem to work just fine, but are all scratched up. I decided to have an eye exam and get some new lenses and frames.
They "read" my current glasses and then performed the eye exam and said nothing changed. Based on this prescription I ordered new lenses and frames.
I wore them for about a week and couldn't bear the headaches. I could see, but something was off. Like things were too sharp maybe. I don't know, but something was off. I decided to call the place I got my old glasses from and get the prescription. There was some minor differences in the old and new prescription. I took it in to the eye doctor and they said they would change the prescription to match my old prescription (which is what they were suppose to do the first time, but I guess reading the prescription directly from the glasses isn't 100 percent accurate).

Symptoms such as you are describing can be due to more than a problem with the prescription itself. I would advise checking to see if any of the following could be different in your new glasses. Adapatation problems can be due to:
1) A difference in the index of refraction of the lens material.
2) A difference in the thickness of the lenses.
3) A difference in the base curve of the lenses.
4) A difference in how the frame is adjusted on your face.
5) A difference in the pupillary distance ground into the lenses.
6) Inadvertent vertical or horizontal prism in the new glasses.
Well u wore the other galsses for 15 years i own an optical store and we see this a lot. It will tkae about a week maybe 2 for ur head and eyes to adjust to the new frame probably not the prescription but the fram because the frame even if it slightly different from the old one will confuse ur brain because it is just a new look and a new weight even a new color. Just wait for a while and it should be better
