Has anybody ever gone through this with there glasses?

[Quixfire]

Mrs. Quixfire here,
I had an eye appointment back in September, but I just got the scrip filled a little over a month ago. The first time that I got them back everything was all wavy when I looked through them and they gave me headaches and an upset stomach. So I took them back and they said the lenses were not centered with my pupils, so they sent them back to have them redone. I finally got them back after THREE weeks and they are still not right. :disgust: I?m farsighted, so you would think I would be able to see better farther away with my new glasses, not the case, It?s worse. They told me to wear them for a couple of days so my eyes would adjust, I?ve had them since Thursday, but there not any better then when I picked them up.

How can you get a new pair of glasses with a new prescription and you can see worse then you could before with your old pair?

get your money back and go to a different optomotrist

Agreed. Whenever I get a new prescription, everything looks screwy for awhile because of my astigmatism. But it goes away within 36 hrs, not 3 weeks.

I agree with this guy here. I haven't worn glasses since I was 14 til just a couple of years ago (reading glasses from groecery store no less and just for work or up close stuff like brakes or building a PC) and if you are having headaches they aren't right. Seeing a different optomitrist should get every thing straight. I am like you and am extremely far sighted.

There are 2 possibilities here. Either they give you the wrong prescription or they did not cut the lenses right.
Now, if both prescription and cut of the lenses are wrong, you are in deep truble.

If you feel like it, you can keep hassling them to get it right. Or go to a different optometrist.
My wife has the same problem with her last glasses and we went to Sam's Club.
First try and they get it right (Rodenstock frame and lenses).

Don't let them make you believe that it is your fault. It is not.
You are not supposed to be dizzy because of your new glasses.
Also, I also remember that the optometrist told my wife that her eye is not going to be able to do 20/20.
The best that she can do will be 20/30. The optometrist can force her eye to 20/20 but it will put really heavy strain (too much light) on on of her eye that it will make her dizzy all the time.

Good Luck.

farsighted means that without the glasses you have an easier time focusing on the closer things versus farther things. Depending on how far sighted you are would of course affect what your perscription would be.

I'me nearsighted, and have had glasses where for the first 2 days or so I've had minor headaches which have then aleviated. I'd say give it a couple of days, and if it doesn't help, raise hell!

Do you wear these glasses all the time? If not then it could take longer to get used to them.

Generally when there is a change in my Rx it takes a day or two for me to adjust but I wear mine all the time.

Errr, its the opposite. "Farsighted" or hyperopia means things at a distance are clear but become blurry the closer you are. "Nearsighted" or myopia means things nearer are clear but things further away are not.

Farsighted = your 'sight' is better at 'farther' distances

Nearsighted = your 'sight' is better at 'nearer' distances

tcsenter is right.

No.

 

[Bignate603]

I consistently switch between glasses which correct for my astigmatism (I took a blow to my right eye and it's not perfectly round anymore...) and contacts which do not, and i feel slightly disoriented when i do switch, but it goes away inside less then an hour. I think they did a shoddy job.

 

[Mikidy]

make the big jump and do the laser surgery. I did it 2 years ago, no problems, just great eyesight. I went to a doc in N. Las Vegas that has done over 17,000 surgeries at that time. best thing I ever did.

 

[Looney]

That's just wrong. I think you need to take them back and complain. And why did it take 3 weeks for you to get the new lenses? That's insane.

Since we are talking about your eyes, your vision, I think you need to call your optometrist. Sounds like an error was made somewhere and it MIGHT be in the script. You still have your old glasses right? wear those until you get it straightened out.

goodluck

Happened to me last time I got them. It took a little while for me to adjust, but when I use them they look fine to me now. I mostly stick to contacts though.

i just got a pair of glasses a month ago, first pair in a year cause my others were stolen. When i wore them, i had piercing headaches when i wore them, but my vision was superb. I decided to wait it out and it was just my eyes adjusting to the lens. The headaches finally went away 10 days later.

You story is much worse and i suggest your find your copy of the subscription and have them look at it and compare it to the subscription on the glasses.
