New glasses...advice needed!?!
Question:
New glasses...advice needed!?
Two days ago I got my new specs from the opticians, Ive never had to wear them before but now apparently my right eye is short sighted and my left is long sighted.
After two days of wearing them all the time like I was told I still see better without them on. Is this normal? My vision through the right lens of my specs is fine but through the left lens of my specs it seems a little hazy. I had a headache all day yesterday but put it down to my eyes getting used to wearing glasses.
The bloody things cost me £200 and I would'nt mind if they actually improved my vision. Any one have any advice for me? Why is this? Is it normal?
Answers:
This is somewhat normal. Even though your eyesight is "corrected" with the glasses, your eyes were used to working without them, so you will have some eye strain as you get used to them. It should get better every day - keep wearing them. If you are having headaches, blurry vision, watery eyes after a couple weeks, go back and get the prescription rechecked. They can check the glasses to be sure they are your correct prescription - if they are then you may have to have your eyes re-examined. You should not have to pay for any of this since any mistake would be on the part of the optician or eye doctor.
