Nearsighted/New Prescription Problem?

Question

I am nearsighted. My right lense recently went from a -.25 to a -.50. I can see great extremely far off, but now I'm blurry around 5 ft. away. When I take my glasses off, my eyes are really blurry. How long to adjust to my new lens?

Answer 1

That's a bit strange if you're having problems with 5ft. away but can see well further off. It sounds probably like it is too strong to be honest - how recent was the change? If it's more than a few weeks it'd probably be an idea to go back and ask for another eye test. If the optician still says you need -0.50 then it's up to you if you still go with that, or whether you stick with your old one.
