Glad I found this, just got mine today and everything feels weird but the world is in 4K lol
Woohoo! That's the best because you know it's gonna be all good!!! Next time tell them you want 8K NeoLED 🤣
Same here. Got mine today and the world is all wobbly and feels like I'm inside a bubble. It looks sharp as hell, like 8k or 150 megapixels
Couldn’t have said it better😅
So true lol
I think an underappreciated issue is that lens get slightly bent when being inserted into new rims and are simply out of focus.
I have bought two pairs of glasses with the same prescription, different frames and for one pair, my eyes took 30 seconds to adjust. For the second pair the dizziness, nausea and lack of depth perception simply never went away.
I get my glasses on Friday! Everyone in my family has glasses and they said that your brain and eyes have to get used to them, and that could take a few days . And so, they sent me here to get more educated lol. Thanks for the video it was helpful! :)
I like your family already! hah! Glad the video helped you and thank you so much for watching! Also send my thanks to your family for sending you here :D
Yes they check for catoracts I actually just went to the eye doctor like a couple months ago and so there a pretty new prescription but they are the glasses that are transitions so I didn't know if because there transitions that maybe the light is affecting its mainly the right eye that's worse and I think that's the one they checked
What should I do any advice would be great
Only solution here is a chat with your doctor. This specific problem I can’t troubleshoot from afar. Sorry.
@book__aholic time to go back and see the doc to be safe and figure out what’s going on :)
Thank you for this. I've worn contacts for years and never bothered to get glasses til now. When I put them on I feel like the world (ground especially) is spherical and not flat. It's trippy man 😎
you're welcome! That fishy trippy world is definitely the hardest part to overcome!
This is exactly why I’m here lmao. Worn contacts for twenty years. Now glasses. Walking is suddenly hilariously challenging. Constantly misjudging the slope of the ground.
@@ThatGlassesGuy03does that part of it go away?
@@grease3873 yes 🙃
I just got new glasses first time, I'm 35 and I'm so distressed about them. I feel like I'm on a boat constantly I have small headaches, and it so frustrating when I'm looking at the screen and then needs to look further away, then it's blurred and wobbly. I think I will go and get them checked. It feels so bad 🙈😵
Ohh that doesn't sound good! If I may... is this new prescription a plus prescription with some cylinder power? If so it's not an uncommon result for first time glasses later in life (latent hyperopia) and the adjustment is an absolute bear to manage. For your own sanity, absolutely have them checked and verified by whomever made them and consider a refraction check just to be 100% certain. Sometimes things happen, and even more so sometimes for that first pair a compromise rx between vision and comfort has to be made.
Either way, the big key is put them on first thing in the morning and wear non stop for fastest adaptation regardless. Mid day starts aren't as good.
Let me know how it goes!!
I had same issue with my new glasses, I have high stigma, however, I got used to them and I'm fine. I put my old ones back on then try the new ones back on a few days later, took them off again 2 or 3 other times, 4th wk or so I was used to them. Hop that helps.... :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 I'm having the same problem. Round the house isn't too bad. But if I go out, everything seems weird. Walking up a long road is trippy. I'm 41 and have been wearing glasses for about 2 weeks and cannot seem to get used to them.
After 2 weeks it's time to check with the optician or prescribing doctor for sure! 🙂
love your videos!I have prescription glasses for astigmatism in both eyes, and i'm having trouble in adjuting my glasses-your videos really helped me!thanks!
Awesome, im so glad the videos helped!! Thank you for the feedback and watching!! 🥰
Did you get better after a while?
This happened to me. One eye felt more blurry than than the other eye. One eye felt really overpowered straining my eyes and giving me a headache.
When it’s that notable over one eye it’s worth chatting with your doctor or optician. Could be a wide range of things and they need to sit down and troubleshoot the glasses and/or rx with you.
So this just made me feel better because I just took the glasses off and put my contacts in lol . I just don’t feel like it’s something I can get used to I can’t even walk correctly or want to do anything because it looks crazy
Particularly heavy contacts use and no glasses is a big case for doing that. You can definitely do it, but it's a process, and sometimes requires special lenses... at any rate, I hope the tips in the video are enough to get you through!! 🙏❤
Never thought I needed glasses. Just got a diagnosis and apparently I do. Things look so much clearer since the glasses. I'm still adjusting. Definitely still have a headache
The first couple days can be rough, but the difference in how things look 👌 😁😁
Just came across your channel and I love it! I love my 1st pair of Etnia, and I'm hooked on them.
First of many for sure! With everything I carry in store, etnia is at the bottom of my ladder... and I STILL love them! :D Thank you for the kind words! :)
I just got my new ones today! (Well technically not new, just slightly stronger than my previous prescription). I even got the anti glare coating on mine. I forgot how wonky it was at first (it had been 2 or yrs since my last exam). Doc even made it sharper for me.
Awesome! It's wacky sometimes especially when it's been awhile 😁
Got glasses for the first time in all my 32 years and I feel like I'm on a boat! It's only my left eye with astigmatism. I can definitely feel my eye putting in some work. I do see the difference when I close my good eye ha. I'll try to get used to them. Thanks for the video.
New astigmatism later in life is definitely one of the toughest to get use to. You'll do great following the video tips!!! Enjoy your new crisper world!!

Im on my second attempt at glasses. First time, I gave up after spending $500 on them. That was about 3 years ago. I just recently tried again and they have the same problem. Went back to have the rx redone and now they're worse. Astigmatism correction isnt working and everything is stretched to the left side. I feel like Im standing on a slope and almost fall down when I reach for something. Its substantial. I bought some frames off ebay, that had lenses in them. While the rx was wrong and everything was out of focus, I could see better with them than without and there was zero distortion. Im getting demoralized.
@Spring Bloom - sounds far fetched. $500 for glasses? Highly unlikely. Even high end stuff like Raybans are usually ~$300. Most people spend $100-$150 on glasses.
Try again Tom, ray ban isn't even remotely high end. I sell frames priced from 500-3000 before lenses, and I'm still in the kiddy pool of high end eyewear.
Sounds like something is off in that situation for sure. Everything being slanted or stretched can happen with high astigmstism and it can take the brain some time to adapt to that. The better the lens design and careful curve choosing by the optician or lab can reduce that to some degree but most orders are button pushes with little if any thought these days, unfortunately.
The video is so insightful.Have been experiencing this after not wearing my glasses for 7years got my eyes checked and new lens prescribed the headache and migranes almost sent me back to the hospital this video helped somehow let me give them more time.
Oph! Yeah those long periods without can be just as bad or worse! Glad this video helped you some, and good luck with the adaptation, some of those can be so rough!!
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 Hoping for the best.Thank you once again.
A bright outlook always helps 😁. You're so welcome! Let me know how it goes!!!
Thank you for this information buddy, I was tripping, had my glasses for two years and just got new pair so yes floor looks closer!!!!
That's the worst one! Well.. that or the ones that cause headaches... its a toss up 🤣. Glad this helped you realize you weren't crazy! 🤪
Thanks for explaining everything. Like ur glasses
🥂 thank you! Glad you found the video helpful 😁
I could never really see well out of the last pair but didn't realize it till I got my new pair. The adjustment has a lot of halo effect on fine lines and letters when my eyes are tired. Its so much better till the halos hit. I had a pair where I could see my eyeball on reflecting on the lens. It was so distracting I did toss those and just went without till I couldnt deal with it anymore. lol
Good grief you've had some real nightmare pairs! 😳
Ah I see my problem now. 🙃 Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
I just got new glasses, about a quarter change in both eyes. My left eye won't focus, and my right eye lags at times as well. Everything is blurrier than my old glasses and lights now have large halos, but no slanted or distance problems. Do I just need adjustment time?
Mm doesn't sound like typical adjustment issues unless it's new + power. (This could also be less minus than before... that is, if your new chanhe is +0.50 added to your last rx.). Hyperopic shift is hard to get use to and comes with those symptoms for sure! That would be my guess without more info, and yes could be up to a week or even longer. If it's increased minus power, I suspect something else.
My glasses are very heavy (got the thinnest lens possible for my high prescription); what adjustment should be made to minimize the nose pad pressure on my metal frames? thanks
Hi Robin,
Great question! There are a few ways to do this, one is checking the fitting triangle and balance point of the frame to take pressure off the nose (this one is a bit more complex and best for an optician). Also consider adding what we call a strap bridge. These are conversions that are longer but also add the top strap spreading out the pressure over the whole nose instead of just 2 points. A great alternative for heavy glasses that won't balance
This is helpful. Thanks bro
You’re welcome! 🥂
Hello,I have been wearing my current glasses for some 7 year,This is because I have high prescription Left sperical6,cylindrical 2 ,Right Sperical 4.5 Cylindrical 2.I had changed glasses 4 times and each time I was unable to adapt the new glasses, so I come back to my old glasses,Please give me some suggestion.I could see clearly by my old glasses but too many scrathes appeared on them.
Hey I have been wearing my current glasses since 6th Grade and now I have Graduated Highschool (Still wearing the same Glasses) and evertime I went to do an Eye exam like once a year it would go up bit by bit but everytime I weared the new Glasses I would stop wearing them after 1 hour because of Headaches and then I would put the same one that I had. Doing an Eye exam this Wednesday and wanted to see how long would it take to adjust and if you can let me wear the same prescription since 6th grade because I see fine in them and they don't give me Headaches
Almost 7 years of wear at this point it's going to be very difficult to adapt no matter the changes. Between the changes in surfacing and lens designs to the changes in prescription, you're gonna have to just dig in and push through to get your best vision. going back to your old ones after 1 hour isn't going to cut it. Follow the rest of the tips in this video though, and you will be on the right path! :)
I’ve been wearing glasses in evening and contacts during I work. However now I got new glasses with only -0.25 difference ( from -4.50 to -4.75) and on my left eye it’s extremely hard to see to focus and I get double vision sometimes when I look around. I can see normal when I look at my phone but when I look at far away like the tv my left eye doesn’t sync with my right eye. Is that a problem with the prescription ? I’ve been wearing contacts and old glasses for 10+ years so I’m used to them so don’t think a -0.25 would give such a different feeling?
The power not likely, but maybe. More likely is the fit, whack compensation values if freeform digital, erroneous measurements, a production anomaly, or some combination of these that just isn't meshing. If you're old specs were several years old, it very well could still be as simple as an adaptation issue, see this a lot especially with primary contact wearers that may go 5+ years without updating their "backup glasses". I would start with your optician and just have them verify everything is correct AND compare measurements vs the old pair. It could just as well be you got use to something whack in the old pair and now the new pair is "technically correct". I can't count the times I've had to say that last sentence... "yup. The new pair is technically correct, but here's the deal" 🤣.
Hi there, thank you for being a CZcamsr that responds to comments. Here’s my situation. Ive worn contacts continuously for 1 year & 1/2. I wore them 12 - 16 hours a day working ( CZcams ) anyways. I have a pretty strong astigmatism in my left eye.
Anyways. I knew wearing contacts that long couldn’t be good & I wanted the option to get back to wearing glasses. ( which I had worn for 5 years prior )
The first week I would alternate between my old contact prescription & the new glasses. I was advised to not do that by my doctor. ( I wish my optometrist would have spoken up )
Now I’ve been just wearing the glasses for about a week. I do noticed a huge improvement. However there is still distortion that uncomfortable & hard to work with. Also when I cover my right eye which has less astigmatism my left eye is still pretty distorted (fish bowl) & very slightly blurry when looking at far distances. will that ever improve?
I’ve gotten retested to make sure the prescription is right & they confirmed it is. They are also looking into flat lenses for me with no curvature. What would you advise. Should I keep waiting it out? Before trying to change lenses. Thanks & sorry for the essay 💯
The non dominant eye is always slower to catch up, don’t worry too much about one eye over the other yet.
Flatter is actually MUCH worse. Do NOT do that 🥶. Typically in difficult adaptation from contacts a steeper curvature is better. Part of the “spectacle blur” phenomenon comes from the huge difference in the steeply curved contacts vs the very flat ophthalmic lenses in the glasses. Definitely sticking out the first few weeks will help more than anything and once the adaptation period is over switching will be no problem :) I’ve seen as long as a month before but that’s pretty uncommon :)
Good luck!! No worries on the essay, and thanks so much for your kind comments :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 Thank you very much. I'm going to wait these out before any other steps are taken.
I wore contacts for many years but around 2020 I switched to wearing only glasses. A year ago I got a new glasses prescription that took a week to adjust to. A couple months ago I started getting headaches from eye strain. I felt like it was a good time to switch back to contacts so I got a contact lens eye exam a couple days ago. The doctor initially gave me a really strong prescription but quickly switched it out for a weaker one because I couldn't see my phone. He said the weaker prescription will keep me from getting headaches, but I'm worried it's the wrong prescription. My left eye appears pretty blurry and it's totally disorienting! I got lost in the grocery store and I'm struggling to do any work because things just don't look right. I don't want my eyes to adjust to an incorrect prescription. Any advice?
I have a question I've had my glasses for a week or 2 they are progressives and its mainly when im near light and I cant seem to see out of them how long does it take to get used to glasses should I go back to the eye doctor or are they maybe still adjusting
You should actually be able to see better with them in higher light due to the pupil constricting and increasing depth of field… something else is going on and it’s not the glasses. Have cataracts been discussed? Have a chat with your doc for sure.
They checked for catoracts I actually just went to the eye doctor like a couple months ago and so there a pretty new prescription but they are the glasses that are transitions so I didn't know if because there transitions that maybe the light is affecting it It's mainly the right eye that's the one they adjusted I think it's that one speficly that bothers me I got these online at Zenni the pair that I got at the eye doctor worked just fine but broke so idk if I need to contact zenni or what
Do you have any advice on what I should do
First timer here and just go my glasses. Feeling woozy and distance is blurry... I am wondering how long should the daily intervals be of wearing them until I get used to them? A few hours a day or just most of the day/as long as possible? Would love to know what you think :) thanks so much
As long as possible. Sounds like a latent hyperope. And that means put on glasses first thing when you wake up and do not remove until you go to sleep for the fastest adaptation. Even in that case it can take a week or two 🙂
Thank you so much for your reply and making us this helpful video!!
@@taylorjewell5281 I'm just happy I could share and help 😁
I got new glasses👓, it looks great, but weird. My old glasses were of significantly lower power, so it's a little bit of adjustment process.
Long time contact lens wearer switching to glasses. Been feeling so weird and dizzy 🥴 hope I start to adjust soon!
It's usually a pretty quick process 🙂 should be a huge improvement at a week 😎
I am wearing glasses for the first time a high prescription for short sightdness is it normal for the ground to seem higher and how long does it take to adjust
That bit usually doesn't take too long, but also depends on how long you've been doing without. I would say a week of full time wear conservatively :)
How long will it take to get use Progressive lens. My eye doctor put me in Digital progressive lens because s lot my school work is a computer.
The earlier lenses with low adds su h as what you're likely using not too long. Anywhere from a few hours to a couple days :)
I can see super sharp out of my new glasses but there is some distortion towards the more peripherals , is that something to be worried about?
Pretty normal for most lens designs and/or contacts wearers with new glasses. Nothing to be worried about except to know that some material and design combinations reduce the affect.
Yeah. Got a lot stronger perscription in one eye. Love the new. I tried putting the old lenses in and its extreme vertigo. Lol. Totally nauseated.
Ooph! That's never a fun experience!
Hi! Thanks for this video and I’m hoping you can answer my question. I’m 27 and have been wearing contacts since around age 16. I’ve since had a pair of glasses that I used to wear on occasion, but never all the time. Those glasses never gave me any trouble. The past few years I ordered glasses online from various popular retailers and with every single pair I’ve bought I notice they give me peripheral distortion (mostly noticeable at a distance, not closeup). My eye doctor confirmed the RX’s are all correct and said I might just be noticing the slightest difference in how they treat the lens edges when finishing. I’m so frustrated because I can’t seem to get used to the distortion. But I never experienced this with my old glasses from my eye doctor. Any thoughts and have you heard of this before? Thanks in advance!
So this is actually a phenomenon known as spectacle blur, that comes from not wearing and being use to the way lens curves bend light with the increased distance from the eye. Modern lenses are all too darn flat in the name of cosmesis and exacerbate the problem. A lens custom made on a higher base curve or a standard old conventional cr39 lens will offer some improvement, but will still require time to get use to. I mention this in one of my two videos about problems with prescription glasses feeling wierd or can't see out of them, unfortunately I don't remember which one :(
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 thank you SO MUCH for the reply! Appreciate it a ton! I’ll look through your videos and find the info :) do you know if this is something I can get used to? Otherwise I may purchase a new pair with my doc but it’s so expensive that way.
You can definitely get use to it, but the adaptation period SUCKS. 🤣. FULL TIME glasses wear for AT LEAST 7 days and no contacts. Then you should be able to go back and forth between the two :)
I hope you'll find my comment bcs I've been struggling a lot. So I got a new pair of glasses last week and the doctor said that my grade did not change much it's just that I had astigmatism. From 3.25 I had an additional +0.75 to my left eye; on my right, from 3.00 to an additional +0.25. I don't have any headaches or such and my right eye feels okay but my left one is the problem, it feels out of focus whenever I look far. It's like both my eyes are not helping each other. I'm giving it two weeks to adjust but is that worth a shot to persist for two weeks? I already talked to my doctor two times and they only said give it some time but it's kind of affecting my school & work...
Sorry I’m catching this one a bit late. Looked at it last week and cleared the notification without replying 🤦♂️. At any rate, yes with plus power changes that’s totally normal :). If no improvement in 2 weeks it’s definitely time to chat with the doc, but a week later now things should be MUCH better. The only concern I have is where you mention it feels like your eyes aren’t working together, but that can also be attributed to the larger plus increase in the left eye. Good luck!!
I’ve never had glasses and I just got some about 3 days ago. Every time I wear them my vision is just to say blurry. But I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I put them on and there just a little bit blurry. My glasses are for far. Can you help me out?
If the glasses are for far, it really shouldn't be blurry initially unless there is some astigmatism to adapt to. I would recommend checking with where they were made or the doctor that prescribed them just to be certain of anything that could be going on to cause adaptation issues . :)
Thanks.....trying.
I am farsighted and have high astigmatism. Got new lenses and frames, gave it two weeks and they still didn't feel right. Went back to the doctor and they made slight changes to the prescription and made them out of different matieral. I put them on and I immediately felt very similar to how I felt with the old pair. I guess my axis changed about 10 degreesin one eye (evidenced by both times she checked my eyes) after about 1.5 years with my previous prescription. Does this sound normal and is this the reason I am having a hard time adjusting to this second pair??
Ten degrees with moderate cylinder shifting ten degrees can definitely feel wonky for awhile.
Hey I'd really appreciate it if you could guide me a bit here... the objects are appearing closer than they really are to me in my new glasses. I was told that these new Tokai Lutina lens would be better but actually for some weird reason they seem thicker than my old lens. Any suggestions on what I can do further?
I had to look up those tokai lenses, so my assessment may not be spot on, but those are essentially a specialized filter designed to block a portion of the uv and blue light spectrum. If they do this via a laminate layer similar to polarized, it's no surprise they run a bit thicker :). In regards to the things looking closer, that could be a wide range of things, but will go away in a relatively short time as your brain adapts to the new image. It's a combination of the curve and thickness from that manufacturer inducing a bit more spectacle magnification 🧐😁
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 thanks a lot brother, really appreciate the prompt response!
So for some reason, a prescription I had looked fine in polycarbonate lenses. I had a pair made with high index 1.67 material, premium anti reflective coating and they were made free form (or HD). With that pair, even though they verified that the script was right, things looked blurry to me unless I tilted my head to the right side. My depth perception improved dramatically and things were super clear at times. I wasn't sure if it was a matter of adapting or not. I had not gotten new glasses for a few years. My astigmatism axis changed by 10 degrees. I went for a second opinion. The optician heated up the frame and tweaked the lens giving me trouble (manually rotated it). Things looked less blurry after that and got better with time. I ended up wondering if I should have given it more time to adjust. I can see clearly with the way they are now. I guess if I can see clearly, that's all yhat matters. I do notice more clarity in the left eye still if I tilt my head to the right (images are blurrier when I tilt it to the left). Is confusing since they got the script right, it was done free form and I could see clearly through polycarbonate with the same script. I wonder if I should have just seen if I could adapt to these lenses even with the initial blurriness.
RX was very likely correct but I would bet money the measurements weren't. Whether it was the PD or fitting height. The lens twist by the optician tells me the actual prescribed rx being 10 degreees off just wasn't working for you, and making that adjustment is OK, but does throw off the rest of the calculations for the lens... at any rate for the poly vs 1.67, they're very close optically speaking, but poly bends light differently than other materials (not typically in a good way) I suspect the softer focus here helps you see more crisply... as backwards as that sounds, LOL. Here's the thing... vision is VERY subjective, and our brains all like different things. That's a chunk of why I'm so obsessed with this field. every single person is so different in what works and what they like :D
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 yeah. I see clearly enough that I am just going to stick with these glasses this year, I think. I considered having them measure my eyes in the frame again and make another pair. I have done that so much this year that I feel like a huge burden so... Lol. I appreciate your responses to my comments. I hear you about the subjective preference aspect. It is interesting that way. Despite wearing glasses decades, I have thought more about glasses this year than any other.
Hey, question. I never worn glasses before, but I recently got prescribed a lower like -0.5 / -1.00 pair of glasses and I've been wearing them for about a month now and they still feel weird. My vision is crystal clear, I don't get headaches or nausea, but they seem to make me feel like I have brain fog or I don't focus as good. I'm trying to wear them so I can drive since I'm near sighted. Is there anyway to fix this? Is my prescription wrong? Or do I just need more time to adjust. My goal is to only wear them when I drive but I've been wearing them daily for 10 hrs to get used to them and they still feel weird. But my vision with them on is better for far distance!
Could be something off in the measurements or even the prescription itself. There’s more to vision than just seeing sharply, this one would be impossible to diagnose remotely. Go have a chat with wherever made your glasses and let them know what’s going on just to double check things :)
But for starters, you should be wearing them ALL the time.
man i just got new glaases 1 day ago but now i feel that my right is blurry with the glasses on , left eye is all right.
What to do? :(
I would give it another day and have a discussion with your optician and/or doctor. It could be the prescription is off or made wrong, or just that eye was a bigger change and needs some time to adjust :)
Hello! I noticed during my recent eye exam visit that this time their was no measurement during the check out process does that effect the lenses I’m kind of seeing blurry and see a little better when I squint :/
Also another thing is that my prescription actually went from -2.75 last year to -2.50 this year is that possible?
Possible, but unusual unless you were overminused to begin with (notuncommon at all). Definitely expect an adaptation period in this case :)
bro i yesterday got my specs and my frames are big when ever i see through the bottom end of glass and nod my head the image seem to move wierdly and tangently is it ok.. I have cylindrical power also.
Totally normal. Just general physics of the lens so far away from the eye with cylinder power, it can be reduced with really high end lens designs like IOT Endless, but not eliminated. About the only negative of large frames trending 😂. You'll get use to that pretty quickly 🙂
I just got a new prescription and is pretty much is the same in both eyes. Just a little difference of 5 axis in each. But that cannot be right. Without glasses my left eye sees a bit better than my right. My previous prescription had 0.25 difference between each eye. I can see a bit better with my previous glasses. Ive heard that one eye is suppose to be dominant and optometrist tries to give you the best prescription that will work when both eyes are open
Contacts script was updated and glasses as well, i wear contacts 90% of the time. New glasses have fishbowl absolutely which I understand can happen. My question is, once I adjust to my glasses, will things be different with my contacts. The old script I could take contacts out then just wear my glasses with no problem. But as of now I can wear my contacts fine but glasses need getting used to, I don’t want to get used to my glasses if I can’t switch back and forth. What do I do?
Got you on the fishbowl video :)
how do you know if you're prescription is too high, are there specific signs? i went from 125 to 200 + a new frame
it's really tough. Ideally the person performing the refraction has done their job properly. A jump from 125 to 200 can take some time to adjust to for sure! Since I'm a week late replying I would hope by now you're finding some improvement, otherwise it's time to discuss this with your optician/doctor :)
Great video but i need your thoughts on something, i spent $380 dollars on my glasses cause this time i wanted all the good stuff i never get, i always get the cheapest basic stuff so i figured i'd treat myself this time and get Giorgio Armani frames, the best lenses, anti scratch coating, blue screen coating etc etc etc, basically i got everything i could get so they'd last the year without any issues and i notice they're making me a bit dizzy and my right eye seems to be a lil more dominant to my left, so might have to get that sorted or is that normal during my eyes adjusting ???? when i went through getting my prescription with that eye thing they use it was perfect and now it seems like i see better out of the right eye over the left, should i go get it looked at or is it just me adjusting, it's been 4 1/2 weeks so far since i've had these and it still persists.
At 5 weeks I wouldn definitely go have things looked over. Could be something has changed, or things weren't made juuuuust right. :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 That's what i thought, thank you so much 👍
I got a new pair of glasses today, everyone looks weird and walls are slanted, not sure that is right my son looks like he has a long slanted face and short.
I never wore glasses before and i was told i will get used, just wondering if this is normal
for new astigmatism correction it can absolutley be normal. Those affects should disappate pretty quickly if you're wearing the glasses from wake up to bed down :)
I just got new glasses and the smell makes me dizzy(maybe because if the high prescription) what do i do? Do i wash it?
This must be a high index lens 🤣. It has a VERY distinct smell. It'll dissipate with time, washing won't speed up the process much unless there is dust trapped around the rim of the frame from when they were cut and inserted.
Do glasses need to be fitted prior to taking lens measurements? I ordered a pair of frames, but the frames sat crooked on my face. Will my vision be distorted after they adjust them?
Depends heavily on the prescription and design. Personally I adjust at dispense but I can see where things are going to sit when we’re done. There’s something to be said about how the lenses will manipulate frame position and knowing the final end result to adjust your fitting measurements. I can tell you l most no one is doing that though. Most of the time it’s going to make minimal to no difference though.
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 thanks for the reply! Your videos are super informative and entertaining.
Can going to a new frame but same script cause a weird feeling only in one eye , also do get the curved feeling as well
Going to a larger frame yes, but typically it's a difference in the measurements taken or in the case of freeform lenses the compensation value and lens design algorithm used can occasionally cause this at first as well, especially if measurements are off.
I just bought a new pair of glasses with new prescription ( i have - power ) and its been like 6 days and everything seems to be so sharp and things appears a little closer just a little and the sharpness causes me to think its weird and its really weird believe me .. next week i am going to a new city i wanted my eyes to adjust to the new pair what should i do ..
Your eyes have adjusted if all is sharp and clear. The brain. Well that’s another matter and can take weeks to really feel comfortable.
I drive a garbage truck ten hours a day for work, so I can’t wear my new glasses and adjust to them while working all week. It’s my first time with glasses, and my right eye astigmatism is substantial, so the distortion feels pretty intense. If evenings and weekends are the only times I can wear them while adjusting, should I just wait until I have a couple weeks off work in July? Will the long days without glasses undo the progress made in the evenings and weekends? My depth perception is just not good enough yet to be driving a big truck through neighborhoods. Thanks.
This one is a bit tougher, and you may need to “stage into” the glasses so to speak. Have a chat with your eye doctor, because constant wear for that kind of first time wear is a must. They may have to find a “compromise” rx that isn’t quite as sharp to ease you into the full power you need. Basically sharpen things up a little bit make it more comfortable so you can still work and adapt. Alternatively, yea start wear first thing when you wake up on your day off and don’t take them off for anything. If it’s not quite enough on Monday but slightly better, see if you can tough out that day. Days 3-7 are where the most improvement come in with these things, and of course all of this assumes the rx is correct to begin with :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 will do. Thanks.
first day of glasses, everything is clear up close but from a distance things are a bit blurry compared to my contacts. is this normal
Yup, don't touch those contacts for a week and you'll be good 🙂
My new glasses When i look downwards it feels slanted and i'm elevated and this is very weird cause from my previous one it doesn't feel this way. Is it normal ? But it is 4k in image
It’s likely from a change to the lens design you’re wearing and or going to larger frames. That should get better with a relatively short period of wearing the new glasses :)
I just got my glasses yesterday fell off my chair I need to get used to them this vid was very helpful
That's off to a bumpy start, but hopefully much better times ahead! 😁
Did you die from the fall if so can you explain what it’s like in hell
Ever since I started wearing my new glasses, I’ve had a little on again, off again tingling in my body. I’ve gone to get blood work done and everything is fine. It started right after I got my glasses and I’ve never had glasses ever before.
Haven't run into that before, quite strange for sure!
lol what? Glasses don't make your body tingle.
I wrote on here a month ago and you gave me some great advice. Only thing I went back and had them put my old prescription in because I was getting a lot of headaches since I haven't had new glasses in a decade plus. Well I am still getting headaches with my old prescription in I only had these glasses for week but I got a similar feel I was wondering what could it be? I found a old pair of my glasses that I kept in a case in good condition with the same prescription and I don't get any headaches with those. Did they change the way they test eyes now or put your prescriptions in I can't figure out what it is maybe is the anti reflective glare I don't know I will probably go to another place and get them rechecked again. If you can give me some good advice like before I would appreciate it thanks That Glasses Guy 🙂
Depending on just how old it could be a whole host of things. Most likely of which I would suspect is strain from measurements being off (mind you I'm not saying the measurements like PD are wrong in your new glasses, but that odds are they are off enough from your old ones it's causing you significant strain. This is what's tough about trouble shooting without glasses and a face in hand. So many little factors can have the same sensation :(. Also if it's the o e ik thinking of and these old pairs were very old, curve selections have changed with time and most are much flatter now. While this is very unusual to cause problems, it sometimes can with long time wear of the same curve. I've seen it ONCE in my years doing this :) hopefully this helps lead the way. I would just ask if the old glasses were verified against the new for measurements as well as power and go from there 🙂
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 Ok thanks 🙂👍
I have worn contacts virtually all day every day for the past 18 years. Recently got new glasses with a new prescription because I was told to not wear contacts for a year while I get scans done before corrective surgery.
I've got a pretty stong negative prescription -5.50 right and -6.75 left. So the distortion and fishbowl effect really bothers me.
About 2.5 days in My vision has gotten a bit blurry almost like the prescription isn't right anymore. I am not sure if it is fatigue or the shape of my eye changing from not wearing contacts (If that is possible?). Either way I will be having my follow up in just a few days now. I am ready to just get it all over with.
That’s extremely common with hard lenses, but also can happen with extended wear of soft lenses as well. Which is why they need you out of contacts for the interim to get proper measurements. Without this stage you’ll have a poor result and likely be back in glasses. Definitely a case of trust the process here. Though I would discuss with your doctor the blur concerns as it very well could be that prescription is already wrong. Just the fishbowl or general discomfort wouldn’t concern me as much as the overall blur.
I already have had dizzy issues but the glasses makes me feel drunk and nauseated. But everything look so crystal clear
That should get better pretty quickly if that's the case 🙂. Not uncommon at all for new stronger cylinder power, but also could be TOO much power if it persists. Speak with your optician/optemtrist if it lasts more than a couple weeks 🙂
hello i got my glasses 3 days ago and the frame of glasses are bothering me and my vision is darker in glasses(i have astigmatism and +1.75 and +1.25) and it feels sososo weird
I wonder what lens material they went with 🤔 darker isn't normally something associated with new (+) lenses
Just got s new prescription 1 step down and my astigmatism rotated its the third day and im atill having pressure headaches and stuff at distance and close up still look wonky should i give it 2 more days?
With the astigmatism shift it will definitely take longer, but if things aren’t getting better at day4/5 I would definitely be getting that prescription recheck just to be sure vs torturing yourself.
@ThatGlassesGuy03 today is the third day seem a little bit better less headache after some tylenol I know you said not too but I just quickly tried my old ones and can barley tell the difference today.
I just got a new prescription its just .25 more, however I feel like I'm in another dimension with the new ones...its been 2 days so far... ugghh how long will it take??
Low power increases can be some of the worst sometimes, but there's always the possibility something else is off :) with a smaller change like that I would estimate adaptation in a max of a few days 🙂.... with a caveat if your rx is plus and this is additional plus 0.25, those can take a little longer.
This video is very helpful but I have a questions tho. I have a new pair of glasses after so many years of wearing the old one and everything looks slanted. I read somewhere that “you don’t have to fit to your glasses and the glasses should fit you and if you high astigmatism you should cut the prescription atleast it half” I have been wearing this new glasses and I noticed at work while doing excel that when I wear the glasses the lines looks slanted to the right side then it looks slanted to the left when I don’t wear it. Is there something wrongly with the new glasses and how my eyes or brain were adjusting to it? Or it should not happened? I don’t want my vision to look slanted when I’m not wearing my glasses. Thank you in advance for answering the questions or sharing some experiences.
I don’t know where you read that advice but it’s bad and it lazy. Sloptical work at its finest. Best acuity will be with the as tested objective RX (assuming tests and rx are correct, if it’s been going on for several weeks, chat with your doc). Now if the changes from your prior wear were MASSIVE and you had been wearing the old pair for 3+ years (sounds like the case here) adjustments to find a more comfortable rx to ease into the new power could be needed but you’ll end up changing glasses more regularly to get into the right place. Also could be a few things with fit, and lens selection. Best to have this chat with your optician that made the glasses and the doctor that did the RX for a better view of your specific scenario :).
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 thank you! I appreciate your fast response ❤️
I’ve worn glasses for 60+ years
I just wish the industry could admit that they make mistakes & do make mistakes quite regularly.
There are at least 5 people that contribute to a pair of glasses.
Odd that 3 pairs of the same script in the same frame are all different?
i’ve had my glasses for a week & i feel like i cannot adjust to them ,they said my eyes got worse & i have astigmatism so to give it a week or 2 to adjust but she said to go back in a week if nothings feeling better, i still see very cross eyed & feel like i can’t focus on things far away, my eyes get very tired & idk what to dooo 🙃 i was testing myself by sitting on my couch & looking at our microwave time to see if i can see it with these glasses & i can’t, it’s a total blur but i can see it with my old glasses & i haven’t seen an improvement after trying again after 3 days
Time to go see the doc again. 🥂 at minimum it’s a measurement issue. (That includes the measured and tested prescription as well as fitting measurements)
I bought a new pair of glasses with the same prescription as my current ones but my eyes hurt and it gives me headaches. What is the explanation?
Tough to say. Could be a lens design difference, material difference, frame size:shape or even the fit if it’s not a customized lens. Measurements could also be to blame. I’ve gotten quite adept at having clients with multiple pairs, so negating differences between pairs is pretty easy to me 😅
Hello dude .....today I got my new glasses......after 2 years of power change but.....when I wear it everything becomes larger and got stretched and also feel while walking that everything is becoming vertical like slope ...but when I close any one eye everything is fine and this same this happened 1 months before when the optician was different and now also the same thing happened plzz reply
If you don't mind what's your prescription like? Sounds like a combination of yoked prism in a single vision lens that's a bit on the large side along with new power change, but im curious 🙃. At any rate, the key is you see great with either eye open, meaning it's one of two things, the prescription would help determine which. Either the optical centers are placed incorrectly, or it's just the combination of larger lens size and increased power and the brain needs to adapt 🙂
I got my glasses a week ago and I just can’t adapt things look slanted. This is my first time wearing glasses for astigmatism and I really really want to wear them but I feel dizzy and might fall down 😢
Have a chat with your optician and prescriber. This could be a range of issues that need a troubleshooting in office. A week isn’t. A super long time for first time with new and especially strong astigmatism, but it doesn’t hurt to verify. Sometimes it can just be too much to get use to, and has to be introduced in steps over multiple pairs of glasses and a period of time. Obviously we always want to shoot for best vision to start with, but that doesn’t work for everyone :)
I wear glasses regularly and i just had the same prescription put into new lenses for sunglasses. When I first wore them, my eyes felt strained and I had a headache now for a week. Funny thing is, I never had this issue with my other sunglasses which are the same prescription. It’s been a week now and the issue still persists, I also feel like the focus isn’t clear and my eyes have to work more to focus.
Is this normal or should I got back to the optician?
Unless you've moved into a new very steeply wrapped frame with uncompensated lenses I wouldn't expect any of that (even still, not for a week of wear). Definitely let your optician know things feel off 🙂
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 thank you for the reply. The frames are made of titanium (not sure if that has to do with anything or not) and the lenses are a bit bigger than that of my other sunglasses. The optician says the prescription is correct and they didn’t make any mistake and she said the frames are a bit bigger so it will take 1 week for me to adjust.
It’s been 1 week so I guess I am going back for answers.
My new glasses give me distorted vision which makes me dizzy,gives me nausea and migraines,even tho they are the same prescription as my 2 older glasses that I got in 2015/16,only 0.25 difference in one eye,so they are basically -2.5/2.25 - 2.75 and astigmatism. I just don't understand why am I getting this distortion,basically same prescription,I have ones thin and big glasses and never felt such discomfort when i first got them. Why am I having such hard time adjusting to new glasses? And the worst those 2 older glasses are great,just a bit scratched up but it doesn't affect my vision,I just got these new ones for outside wear and want to keep older ones for inside wear,the question is when my eyes will get adjusted to new glasses,will I feel discomfort wearing my old glasses? I know I have to constantly wear my new ones for it to pass,but is it worth it? to basically throw away 2 other glasses that are more comfortable for inside wear,they also have blue light and other protections.
Kind of hard to say from afar, there are a host of things that can cause this from frame selection to lens design. I would have this discussion with whomever made your glasses and hope they're capable of the troubleshoot 🙌
I had a cornea transplant on my left eye last July and it doesn’t look right does it take longer ?
Cornea transplant is well outside my realm of comfort even with my medical experience in an ophthalmology practice. I would definitely speak to your specialist about expectations. I don't ever expect sharp clear vision with something as drastic as a transplant however.
What about the right eye affecting my vision . Waiting for my Cornea transplant for my right eye . its cloudy but the left eye is clear due to the transplant could that be a factor as well?
My eyes usually adjust within a few hours or a day or two when I get new glasses. I got new glasses a few days ago with a higher astigmatism prescription, and my eyes are having difficulty adjusting.
An increase in cylinder (astigmatism correction) is by far one of the more difficult changes to adapt to and can take weeks. But symptoms vary, main thing is don’t touch your old glasses for awhile. And if things aren’t getting better after the first week it’s definitely worth having a chat with your prescriber.
I had my first new glasses on my eye. I used to had 22/25 on my right eye. But now my doctor said that my right eye is getting worse and worse if we just baby steps it. My right eye shot up to 150. My right eye suffers a crappy astigmatism. Now I really feel quite dizzy when moving alot, and also it also feels kinda blurry unless i look at it a quite a second. It really feels sooo weird haha
yikes! That's a huge jump! Hopefully they're keeping an eye on the siutation and working to prevent further change with you :)
Got new glasses and having hard time adjusting. Been wearing glasses my entire life. Last pair i wore for 2 years (-7.00 both eyes). This new pair there was only a chang in the right eye (-7.25). Not sure if there was astigmatism changes in either eyes. But everything doesnt feel real, too sharpe, easily fatigued. Had ti have them remade already due to no improvement after 3 weeks constant wear. They changed how the lenses were made, but not the strength. They didnt want to re-check my prescription for some reason. Got new ones back and though they feel slighlty better, im still having issues of eye strain and things not feeling "real"
Could be other factors here. If the lenses aren’t compensated and sit further away from your eyes than the old pair (or just in general) and the power wasn’t compensated for that movement it could be significantly overpowered. Optician should be verifying fit power and distances in this case.
Is it normal to feel like a midget? I just got my new glasses yesterday and on top of headaches I feel soo short, is that a common side affect?
Sometimes with new increased plus power it definitely is. Makes the world look larger and looming. Interesting analysis of that affect! I'm gonna hang on to that analogy.
Hey, i wanted to ask you something...i know that difficulty with walking is normal...but my problem is that with my left eye i can't read properly (near) and when i put my old glasses on i can read..i normally cant read letters that are far..is it a problem with lenses or is it still about getting used to them?
In this case I would get with your optician and/or doctor. Sounds like it could be time for an add power in your glasses, but if that's not the case something seems off for sure.
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 the doctor at first wrote me the lenses number and sent me out and then the person responsible for giving me those lenses said something to the doctor and the doctor than said your axis needs to be changed from 20 degrees to 90 degrees and increased the power by a bit he didn't give a clear explanation should I be worried? The glasses he gave are definitely are clearly than before but the images are not very stable they overlap a bit and the letter are dragged out by a bit like when a light gets dragged out when you squint your eyes..
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 should I be worried?
@@guyported2972 worried, no. No long term affects to your eyes to be concerned about. I would mention these new concerns to your doctor for sure though 😁
I got a new prescription and new glasses. -1.75 on one eye and -2 on the other. I apparently now have astigmatism which was not the case when I got my last glasses. with these new glasses, I get a slight cross-eyed feeling when looking into the distance. Not sure what it is, but getting worried that the prescription is wrong
That new cyl can cause it, but so can too much power or incorrect centers. Tough to say on that one, but I definitely get what you’re talking about. This one I would have a chat with your optician about.
I'm 18 and was using my old glasses perscription from when I was 9 until they broke a year or so ago, then went with nothing till now, and finally got new glasses and trial contacts a few days ago. I thought I was going mad! I wore my contacts for the first time, took them off to put my glasses on, and everythinf looked slightly distorted and wonky! Not enough to isolate the direct cause but enough for me to have this exact feeling you described- 'it looks pretty clear but i dont like it, its not working for me' It didn't help that I tried contacts at the same time, and they didn't distort like my glasses, so I thought I was going insane! One side of my vision does seem almost slanted. Both my eyes have taken turns hurting at different times. It's been so irritating!!!
Yup, just the nature of physics being a PITA sometimes. Best course is where the glasses until they feel comfortable then you can switch it up however you wish after that adaptation 😎
I just got a new pair of glasses with the same prescription. But things seems to be blurry when i wear them it gets to a point where i feel sick are there any chances that they messed up my prescription? I've been wearing them for 3 days so far.
That's always a possibility, and I certainly wouldn't expect that level of problems with the same prescription unless you went to a much much larger frame
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 yea i actually went for a bigger frame you know just trying out new style i didn't know it would have come to this.
@@xxshippudenxx3371 ahh gotchya! Yeah for some RX it can be an issue. Opting for higher quality lens designs helps reduce that from the oversized affect to some degree as well
Mine make me see great but they HURT and itch my eyes. Been wearing them for weeks. Any ideas on why?
On a very rare occasion I've run into material allergies that have this affect. And I mean VERY rare. I would look to outside sources like other allergens first before going to the glasses themselves. Coincidental timing is MUCH more likely 🙂... at least with the itchiness. For the hurting, that could be something with the prescription, fit, or even the placement of the optical centers. It'd worth having a chat with your dispensing optician about the eye pain for sure.
I have new glasses, I’ve had glasses for 18 years. I got a new pair recently that are wider, and far away objects are hard to focus on, specially my eyes move around a lot, but my eyes seem to have trouble adjusting and makes it seem like far away things are blurry. As well I noticed that when I look straight through the lens everything is clear, but when I look through the lens around the edges everything is blurry. Not sure if it’s the glasses or if it just needs time. Been wearing them for three days now.
Wow 18 years?! That's a new one for me sir! Curves and algorithm calculations have changed dramatically in that time, and the sharp central acuity would lead me to believe the prescription is correct, but you need some time to adjust to the changes. After that long I would expect a 1-2 week adaptation period for sure! Things being blurry far away is likely a combination of changes in lens design and prescription as well as even just a new frame. The wider lens in particular will create some new distortions the brain will need to learn to manage, so you're definitely in for some adjustment time, but I believe if you stick with it you'll do great!!!! 😁 well, looking back... I missed what you were saying. Most of this still applies, but I would narrow that 2 week field down to about 5-7 days 🤣
Thank you. I’ll give it some time, I’m just worried about doing more harm to my eyes that could be avoided. Take care
@@robertlengyel7766 definitely no harm from lenses thankfully :) you're safe there. Let me know how it goes!! 🙂
I got Phoenix lenses and I’m on day 4 and blurry. My contacts are -3.50 each eye. Old glasses were also Phoenix and feel like there were better. Blurry after looking at distance after on my phone. Also low light alittle off. I have astigmatism in my right eye. How long should I wait?
Wearing the glasses full time right now? This answer makes a difference :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 no, just after contacts! I usually wear contacts for 12 hours then glasses.
@@brianm655 gotchya. So, depending on how much things changed you may need to go into the glasses for full time wear for a few days. Once that’s out to the way switch as normal. If changes were very minor or non existent, have a chat with the optician/doctor. Even a change in the contacts and none in the glasses could cause this (lenses running a bit tighter or more power that wasn’t need in the glasses). Good luck! 🥂
I feel weird in my nose pad area and it's just feel like when you put pencil point in middle of your forehead I feel that same thing on nose pad area I don't know what's happening I feel like crying
Most likely just some slight annoyance from it sitting too close to the bridge. I’ve run across some to be bothered by this on rare occasion :). If it’s a metal frame adjusting so the paces are further away from the the frame will make it sit further from your face. It’s if an acetate or plastic frame, unfortunately not a ton that can be done to improve it without serious reworking of the pad area (or using stick on pads that fall off constantly).
I wear glasses a week ago,but when I see stars at night ,feel like they are moving,sorry for my wrong english.what should I do ,when I focus on something it's little bit moving.
This should definitely be a follow-up with your doctor :) there's a few different things it could be. 🙂
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 hmm h
What if there is significant eye strain in one eye with the new glasses. Does this indicate that they're wrong or could it still just be an adjustment issue?
That could still be an adjustment :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 thank you
You're welcome! Definitely follow up with the optician if it's not better in a few days though 🙂
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 I'm honestly scared to even try the new ones again. My left eye is so strained with pain at like a 6. I will definitely give it another try though before calling them Monday. Thanks again.
@@nicholaswilliams8470 That's pretty unusual, but with big changes I've seen it happen, best to start first thing in the morning with one like that and wear all day. Should lessen in 2-3 days, sometimes it can even be too much to adapt to and requires splitting the difference between old and new. Of course beat acuity will be by adapting to the new rx assuming it's correct :)
This is the second time for me trying new prescription, I tried 2 years ago and after 3 weeks I had to go back to my old prescription. But this time I suffer really bad with the headaches. I went back and they offered me an eye test to check, as I had my eye test in a different provider. They said the results are almost the same for my eye test. They said to try for another week and if not go back to my old prescription.
Wondering if you had any advise, frames are almost the same.
Old prescription
Sphere R:+5.50, L:+5.75
Cyl R:-8.25, L:8.25
Axis R:4.5, L:171
New Prescription
Sphere R:+6.00 L:5.75
Cyl:R-9.00 L:9.00
Axis: R:3 L:174
Wondering if you had any advise, would it take longer than 1-2 weeks for me to adjust properly to the change?
And to add. My vision isn't better than my old prescription. Getting alot of times. Out of focus
With that much power every minor detail matters, especially that cylinder power. Honestly there are so many factors involved at this kind of power it’s impossible to help you properly remote, but to keep it general and light, any adaptation will take quite some time easily weeks instead of days. I would suspect even with the same rx you would experience this just due to changes in position of west and lens size. Those changes are enough to change the perceived power and change where the distortion is in the lens compounding the problem.
Yeah, I have to switch back from contacts to glasses again because unfortunately contacts don't have prisms. I went to contacts because I worked with violent disabled kids that would break my glasses, but I don't do that anymore. My niece that I live with is the only one who does that now. I also play a lot of VR games and contacts were cheaper, but now I don't really have much of a choice. One time I switched back from contacts to glasses due to the price at the time, and I couldn't get used to the glasses because I couldn't see out of them, they massively screwed up my prescription so I went to another doctor all together, while they gave me a better prescription, they weren't all that great either, but I also needed a specialist to begin with due to double vision, which I didn't know exactly what it was at the time. I figure when it's blurry and I almost fall down the stairs, have an immediate headache and start getting nauseous, that's a massive issue.
I have been seeing things through a fishbowl and dealing with blurry and chromatic peripheral vision for more than two months now. I am honestly not sure if there is something wrong with my new glasses, or if my eyes are simply just very slow at adapting to them.
Hi! Just had my first pair of glasses today and this is exactly what I am experiencing. May I ask, how is your vision now?
@@arcllv hello dude is it better now I got my glasses and it feels werid from one side I went to shop but they said everythin' is fine they even checked my eyes again
Sorry I’m late to the party on this one guys! This is pretty multifaceted and tough to address here. But in general a combination of lens design and material are working against you. Even if everything is perfect, the brain doesn’t like it. This can come down to a range of factors to find the right solution, even when the glasses and rx can be technically correct. More commonly an issue for hyperopic (+ powers) eyes in larger lens styles.
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 dude I got ya n also wanna tell ya tha I got my new galsses again They are basically the same but the frame is different and now I problem is almost negligible I'm grateful for tha god bless all of us
Day 2 of my new glasses…I have an astigmatism and havent worn glasses much (I had a small prescription before that I only wore once and a while) my normal vision is really not that bad up close and Mid are fine it’s mostly for distance.
This is terrible compared to my previous glasses which I would put on and boom distance is completely clear! I had a eye exam and they upped my prescription. Every thing is blurry! Mid is beyond terrible and round shapes are oval and tilted. Distance is blurry mid is blurry and I was in a store and could barely make it down the isle! I’m trying one more day to see but this doesn’t seem right. My other glasses I put on right away and everything was crystal clear.
Depending on the time and power since you’ve worn it can definitely happen. A bigger change especially for astigmatism that first day can be AWFUL. But yes, if things aren’t beginning to get better on day 3 definitely have them check out the prescription and or lenses just to verify before you torture yourself for a full week. Doesn’t sound like something is quite right, but I’m not sure the kind of power you had vs what you’re looking at now :)
Got my glasses today and everything looks and feels small
I can see ever clear but i feel dizzy
Could be just a bit overpowered, but I would definitely give it a couple days. That feeling should fade pretty quickly, if not it's time for a prescription check :)

I was recently diagnosed with astigmatism in both eyes. I feel a little and a bit off balance if it makes sense. Plus the starbursting effect I saw on distant light still exists. Not sure of this is the norm or something is wrong and its quiet annoying honestly.
Definitely makes sense and not uncommon for first time wearing glasses for astigmatism. The night starburst will always be present since it’s a corneal issue, but the glasses should improve it slightly.
What did you do? I have almost the same problem with my astigmatism glasses?
OD -3.75 -1.50 020
OS -3.00 -1.50 165
This is my prescription and I have a terrible time getting prescription sunglasses! It's so frustrating because I have severe photophobia. I prefer wrap-arounds, but they're nearly impossible to fit.
It’s not an ideal prescription for wraps to be sure. But definitely not impossible. I would however suggest shield type suns that have the removable side shields. Much better optical experience overall :)
I'm supposed to be wearing glasses continuously since 2013, but i can't tolerate the eye strain and dizziness i feel that i only used my glasses for driving and when i need to see the blackboard. But 9ther than that, I've gotten used to seeing the world in a blur for almost 9 years lol. It worked okay for me for a while, but now that my prescription grew a little bit higher, i get more headaches with or without the glasses. My prescription is 3.50 and 4.00 in each eye, so i decided to just suck it up and use glasses. I got my prescription lenses today and it feels weird to see things clearly.. i just have to get used to it despite the fact that i just want to throw away my new glasses and curse my genetics lol
it's a lot for the brain to process when it's been THAT blurry for that LONG. Wow! that would put your vision at what, roughly 20/100 without glasses?! :O yeesh. Yes, full time wear is the best plan of attack here :)
Honestly, you should consider getting Lasik and be done with it.
@@ImJustKindaHere until you need cataract surgery and they cant gauarantee your results due to the changed corneal surface. Or you have unbelievably dry eyes. Or can't see at night. Etc. 🙃. For some people it's amazing, but the list of concerns is always worth weighing.
Hi!In your opinion ,is ok to transfer the lenses fom a broken frame to a new frame, same model, same dimension?
Most of the time it's no problem. Occasionally the tolerances from one frame.to the next can make it a problem :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 the lenses fit perfe ct, i think that frontal wrap might be slightly different,but as far as i know the pupilary distance tolerance is somewhere between +-2 or 3 mm, so it should be covered,never the less if you see well with them and nothing bothers i guess it,s ok,right? I already did that, today it's the first day,old lenses new frame same model-perfect fit!What could be the problems in your opinion?
Only if the frame itself is whack. Say for example your pair is on the big end of production tolerance for the mfg and the new one is on the small side, it can put too much pressure on the lenses and induce distortion. Pupilary distance tolerance is not 2-3mm for most people. At 2D of power 3mm induces over a half diopter of prismatic shift 🙃 however, that wouldn't be a concern in changing across to the same identical frame, the differences are more subtle. 😁
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 Thanks!I like that you talk about things that only a glasses wearer would know about(like the frame to close to the face you have to wipe them out 5 times a day:)I'm kind obsesed with glasses and perfect fit so when i fou nd you i was glad!My prescription is "light" left eye -0.5 cyl right eye -1.25.It shouldn't be a problem with the same frame lenses transfer ,right?
Well I'm glad you found me too 😁.. yes that kind of power you would be fine even with some pretty severe differences in overall fit and adjustment between the two, haha :)
I never used contacts, but the last time i had glasses was 9 years ago. Now I have a new prescription and it’s a strong one and when I put my glasses on, everything looks like a fish ball, my head hurt, I get nausea and it feels like I’m out of balance. I’m scared that maybe the prescription is too strong🥺
Definitely sounds too strong or.. my least favorite "too strong to adapt to", at least in one step. Nothing to be scared of though, have a chat with your optician or doctor and let them know your concerns. They'll have a better idea with everything in front of them 😁
So I noticed this when I got home, I’ve done some research, and it turns out this is a thing called the “fishbowl effect”, that many others have noted too. What I don’t get though, is that when I got my previous glasses 2 years ago, they never had this fishbowl effect (I’ve had glasses for around 10 years now). It honestly makes me feel a little sick, I’ve read that it may take time for your eyes to adjust, but I don’t know if that’s in the sense that your eyes will get used to the fishbowl effect and you won’t notice it, or it’ll go away for good, and I want it to go away. The center vision is sharp and clear, but if this fishbowl effect persists, I won’t be able to handle it, I’m willing to give it a few days and see how they go. I also read that it could be the frame that causes it, because of a curve? I can’t really tell. I’d feel awkward going back and telling them they don’t feel right when I just got them. Anyone else have any insight on this? Also, forgot to mention, it’s not the same prescription, as eyes change overtime.
Many thanks
It's a combination of both lens size, lens curve, and frame shape. Accompanied by different fit parameters throwing your whole perception of the world out of whack so to speak. Sharp central acuity combined with fish bowl tells me most likely these are not compensated or digitally surfaced lenses, possibly not even aspheric, which amplifies this affect. You should absolutely see improvement within a week, but don't at all be afraid to speak with your optician about this 😁 most of us understand that it can be a problem whether avoidable or not varies with the circumstances 😎

@@ThatGlassesGuy03 Thank you very much for your response, I’ll give it a few days and see how they go, if it doesn’t go away, I’ll be sure to call them back.
@@Bullet377 how is ur sight now? Does it go away with time ?
@@orochyy6924 didn’t seem to go away for me, I ended up going back and letting them know, they mentioned it’s something to do with astigmatism. So she said she would lower the strength of the prescription, and I’ll be getting them back soon. I also asked if the frame could have an effect on it, and she said it could. But the frame I chose was very similar to my previous glasses, and my previous pair seemed fine for me, so hopefully lowering the strength of the prescription will help.
How are you wearing glasses and a mask with not steaming up
The fit! These glasses basically make a full seal with the mask and no fogging. I also sell a great solution on my site that stops fogging for less than stellar combinations, only one I've found to work on a wide range of lenses 😁 thatglassesguy.shop/products/no-fog-glasses-cleaning-cloth
So now when you wear your new glasses and it feels weird your eyes get adjusted to them. You’ll never be able to go back to where you were before previously you’ll always be dependent on those glasses. I have a 2.5 reading glasses and now with my new glasses there around a 4.0 can’t see a damn thing and they said I have to get used to it… Why do I have to get used to that why can’t they be at 2.50 “correct.”
It's not as much to do with dependency as a learned overcompensation within the brain and musculature creating extended eye strain that isn't needed with the new correct power, creating more comfort of wear throughout the day, and not leaving your eyes exhausted at the end of the day, on top of bringing that fine print back into focus 🙂.... that said, from 2.5 to 4.0 is a HUGE jump and generally not something we see except in cases where medical issues are at play unless you were undercorrected before or that was very old wear. 4.0 ADD power would be the equivalent of what's needed to focus around 20cm or 6" from memory... not feeling mathy tonight but that should be pretty darn close.
I should also add all of this only applies to PLUS power prescriptions. For those that may read here instead of watching the video 😂
