How To Adjust To New Eyeglasses

You've picked out the perfect frames, your prescription is updated, and those stylish new eyeglasses are finally in your hands! While the excitement is real, it's also completely normal to go through a short adjustment period as your eyes and brain get used to the change in your vision.

Understanding Normal Adjustment Symptoms

Don't be surprised if you experience a few of these temporary effects as you adapt to your new lenses:

• Slight Blurriness or Distortion: Things may look slightly fuzzy or 'off,' especially at first.
• Difficulty with Depth Perception: Judging distances or navigating stairs might initially feel tricky.
• Mild Headaches or Eye Strain: These should be temporary and usually ease as your eyes adjust.

Tips for Managing Symptoms

• Wear Them Consistently: The more you wear your new eyeglasses, the faster your brain adapts to the prescription change.
• Take Breaks: Remove your eyeglasses periodically to give your eyes a rest, especially if you experience strain or headaches.
• Practice Focusing: Look at distant objects to give your eyes a change of focus from close-up work.
• Eye Exercises: Simple eye rolls or shifting focus between near and far objects can help with visual flexibility.

Adaptation Exercises:

• Use only your eyes to explore the different vision fields in your lenses.
• Practice shifting your gaze from distant objects through the top of the lenses to nearer objects in the middle.
• Read through the lower part of your lenses.
• Move your head, not just your eyes, to look in different directions.

When the Adjustment Isn't Normal

If the symptoms above are severe, continue for more than two weeks, or new issues arise, consult your eye care professional. They may need to double-check your prescription or ensure your eyeglasses are fitted properly.
