Is it true it takes a few days to get used to new glasses

My prescription had increased so I got new, larger glasses. The main central vision is fine but my peripheral vision just seems a little weird

At first I thought they had my lenses wrong but I read online this peripheral vision thing can happen until your eyes get used to the new glasses.

Anyone have experience with new glasses?

I only wear my glasses a couple days a month and they always makes my vision feel a bit… Wobbly?

Yeah I don’t have the descriptive ability to say how it feels. Is just a bit weird.

Me sister said when she gets new glasses it looks like the floor has hills until she’s used to them.

Yeah! But for me it is the sides, not the top and bottom. Glad I’m not seeing things

She’s almost blind, though. Her prescription is like -8/-8.75.

Oh I think mine is -4

When I was first told I had a astigmatism the glasses felt really weird at first. I’ve also felt like I’ve had a crappy prescription.

Yeah apparently I have astigmatism too. Do they give us special lenses or something?

I’m not exactly sure what is added. I eventually got used to it.

Did you get headaches at first? I am getting headaches but have only worn them for about a day

Sounds bout right. I doubt you have a crappy prescription. If you still feel crappy in a couple of weeks you should call the place who made them.

Yeah think that is a wise course of action. Will give it two weeks solid wearing.
