So, I went to the optometrist a couple of days ago and got a new prescription (my vision has gotten worse). Then I bought new contacts with the new prescription as well as some new glasses. I bought two pairs and one “feels” fine regarding my Vision. However the other pair of glasses makes me feel cross-eyed and I don't like to wear them for long periods of time. This is also how the contacts make my eyes feel when I first put them in, but then it goes away. Do my eyes just need to get used to the new prescription, or is there something else? (Also, I've had glasses since I was 12 and I've gotten a new prescription a couple of times.)
Answer:
There is certainly a chance they made the 2nd pair of glasses incorrectly. They might have made the “axis” of the astigmatism portion of your prescription to the wrong measurement, or literally switched the lenses (actually happens quite often now that small round frames are back in style).
The smart thing to do would be to go back to the physician, get a copy of your prescription, and take the 2nd pair of glasses to a chain optical in the mall. They have the ability to put the glasses into a machine that’ll tell them if they match the prescription exactly.
One other thing to have them check while you’re doing that’s to compare the OPTICAL CENTERS of the lenses to the physical measurement of your eyes (this is called the Pupillary Distance). Those two numbers should match. In fact, bring in the pair of glasses that feel fine and have them see how the two glasses compare in P.D. as well as prescription.
Answer:
A guy I knew got new glasses and it turned out the lens was crooked in the frame and was causing him headaches. Have it checked out by your optometrist.
Answer:
