Hello playgrounders, as the years go by my eyesight has started to progressively deteriorate. Nothing bad, really, but I recognize that my right eye sees "blurry", especially when reading. I already had a pair of glasses made years ago, and I started wearing them more often as of recently and all was fine, I'd wear it without any problem and enjoy life.
Then I decided to get a new pair. After all it was time for a new eyesight check, and my insurance covered it, so why not? I went to a glass store where they checked eyes, got my sight controlled and sure enough, my right eye is somewhat weaker than the other one. I wasn't told exactly what I had, though. I got to pick my glass frame and went home.
Fast forward to today. I go get the glasses, I briefly wear them at the store, everything is fine, I take them out and go to the car. When I try them to show them to my gf, everything goes wrong. I start feeling noxious, I have a pretty bad "fishbowl" effect, I can feel my left eye (the good one) straining, I have bad depth perception and even just writing this is painful because I feel pretty dizzy. I immediately went back to talk to the lady at the store, and she told me that all of this is natural, and that the eyes need to readjust, because apparently I also have some astigmatism, so the more I wear them the better.
So, is all of this normal? Do I have to go through days of this? I expected to receive glasses just like my old ones, that I could wear to "see better" without having to readjust anything. What should I expect? The lady at the store suggested to wear them for a couple of weeks and see what happens, and if the bad feeling persists come back and have them fixed. The thought of a couple of weeks of motion sickness is not really appealing. I kind of wished I didn't get this new pair, and that I stuck with my old ones, that I could wear and remove at my leisure without the need to "readjust".
What should I do? What are your experiences with glasses?
