My new glasses?

Question

I know it takes a little while to get used to it, vision may be weird and you may feel sick or have a headache, but I'm past that point now but I still have this odd problem with my glasses.

When I don't completely turn my head when looking to my left or right, everything has a colored outline, if i look to my left everything has a red/yellow outline and if i look to my right everything has a blue outline.

It's like looking at an object with 3-D glasses from the movies.

It also flattens the object, like makes it seem 2-D.

Am I just not completely used to it?

Answer 1

No, the culprit is the index of refraction of the material that your lenses are made of. This problem is common with polycarbonate plastic lenses- which is due to the natural occuring chromatic abberation-(seeing the colors you see, or a prismatic effect. A very small percentage of people do not adapt to polycarbonate lenses. I would recommend that if you purchased that material for "thinning" reasons because of a  thick Rx, I would have them changed to a High Index plastic which are thin and light- without the distortion and colors.

Answer 2

Call your optometrist.

perhaps your prescription needs some adjustment...
