Progressive lens problem?

Question

I have been wearing them for a week and I know there is an adjustment period . My problen is that some objects seem streched , ex...my momitor appears wider on the bottom than the top. Is this normal?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, I have progressive tri-focals. Until I learned to turn my head to see, not just my eyes.

Answer 2

I've been wearing Progressive Lens for about 10 years.  I love them.  The top part helps me see distance.  The lower (the bifocal) enables me to read up close (book, computer, bills).

When I tried the "line bifocals" THOSE made me nauseous, dizzy and I disliked them intensely.  Then I learned about Progressive Lens (no lines).

Truthfully, immediate adjustment is the beauty of Progressive Lens.

But, I guess like everything else, there is an adjustment period.  If your sight remains unstable and annoying GO BACK TO where you purchased your glasses.  Hopefully they'll be able to give you the proper Lens.

Also, I believe an ophthalmologist answered your question.  Read it carefully, he/she may have the answer for you.

Good Luck

Answer 3

wait it out for another week,

call your optometirst and ask

Answer 4

If you're seeing parts of the monitor through different parts of the lense, it could look like its a different width. It probably depends on your vision correction.

Answer 5

Your monitor should not be distorted through your progressive lenses.  It sounds like a fitting issue or your lens was made improperly.  If it is not either one of these, could be that your lens is too small, therefore the entire prescription does not fit in the lens.

Answer 6

Shely, it is perfectly normal when the patient feels dizzy in the first days using a multifocal lens.

It is not normal when this same patient DOES NOT SEE well.

One thing is feeling like if you were in a ship, this is normal ,another thing is when you say you are not seeing very well.

Progressive lens have to be extremely well adjusted to your face, otherwise this will happen.There are several factors for this: wrong prescription, wrong pantoscopic angle, wrong measures, bad quality of the lenses, etc.

Go back to your ophthalmologist and ask him why this is going on. Probably he will ask you to go to your optician.
