Suggestions on getting use to glasses for the first time?

Question

I got glasses for the first time, and when I put them on, it makes me dizzy & such. Any suggestions on how I can get use to them a little at a time? I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I have a small astigmatism. And also, my vision is quite bad, and when I take the glasses off [although my vision is blurry to begin with], it gets like much more blurry than usual for a minute or two. Is that normal in the beginning, will that possibly go away? Thanks in advance! :)

Answer 1

Is it the right prescription? If it is, take it slow... I suggest not trying contacts right off because they wear your eyes out even more than glasses. Talk to your optician about it and see what they say.  

Answer 2

i don't think you can get used to wearing glasses on your first time. but if you keep wearing glasses, you'll eventually get used to it.

Answer 3

That's normal.  All those symptoms will go away.  Keep wearing them.  You will get used to them in a few days.  Don't keep taking them off and putting them on.

Answer 4

I hear ya hun when I got my first glasses in 3rd grade  I didn't feel to good but for now just try to wear them all the time and when you get a bit dizzy just blink your eyes for a moment and it will pass and after you take of your glasses it will be blurrier than before cause your eyes are adjusting to your normal vision without your glasses

Answer 5

Just try and stay focused without making a spectacle of yourself.

Answer 6

try contacts.

or dont use them

Answer 7

well, first, you should make sure it's the right prescription.

and if it is, just keep wearing em. in time you'll get used to em.

Answer 9

Stick with it. Girls in glasses are so so beautiful. Most men prefer a girl in specs. You should regard yourself as lucky to need them. Put them on when you get up and keep them on until you fall asleep: and sit back and wail for the positive comments and admiring glances.

Answer 10

i know a ton of people who love contacts.  they take some getting used to but they're great!  you should try them.  good luck.

Answer 11

but then after a while i got used to it . my vision is quite bad to , i couldn't read the board in school , in the front row :/ yes tht is always going to happen when you take of your glasses its going to be blurry --since your so used to your eyes seeing everything clearly ------your eyes have a normal reaction ( totally norma ) i don't believe it will go away becuz mine hasn't !
