Problem with new glasses..?

Question

I got a new prescription yesterday...and since then I'm feeling dizzy when I move around, I know this is normal but I also suspect that the prescription in my left eye isn't right.

I can't seem to focus on things (they're not sharp) when I shut my right eye and just look with my left. They also looks slightly distorted...they way astigmatism makes things look...

Do I need to go back and get a new prescription? The reason why I got my new glasses in the first place was coz my left eye was getting worse and causing me blurry vision and headaches. I want it to be perfect! Or close to...at least more like my right eye...

Answer 1

It is highly probably the prescription was not written or ground correctly by the lab. When someone feels off balance, it often is because astigmatism was incorporated into the rx where it is not necessary, or because it was placed "off axis" which means it is not at the correct angle for your particular eye. A good ophthalmologist can review your prescription with you and make sure the glasses are correct.

Hope this helps-

Answer 2

If it's blurry it can be too strong or too weak. Go get it checked.

Answer 3

Take a second eye test and see what prescription the new opticians gives you, then challenge the first to correct the problem if there's an error, and demand a refund to cover the cost of the second eye test.

Answer 4

they may have the axis wrong, you need to go back and have them adjust your glasses. it might be as simple as making sure they are straight, if you take your glasses and turn them even with the right eye being ok it will be off. have your eye dr check your rx again if the glasses adjustment doesnt work.

Take a test at doctors and find out
