So you got a new pair of glasses, but something feels a bit off. Either things still look blurry or you may be experiencing a sense of tunnel vision. So how do you know if your eyeglass prescription is wrong?
First of all, if you have gone from a regular prescription to bifocal or a trifocal prescription, there is an adjustment period where your eyes need to get used to the change. This period can take a couple of days, weeks, and sometimes even up to a month. So it might be possible that you are experiencing this. But, how do you know if your eyes might take some time to adjust or if your prescription is actually wrong?
It isn’t unusual for errors to be made during an eye exam with a computerized report or simply a misreading of a handwritten prescription. Another reason could be the time that you scheduled your eye exam. Perhaps it was after a long day of work and your eyes were weak and tired at the time.
If you have the following symptoms, you might want to go back to the optometrist to make sure there was no error in your prescription:
* Extreme blurriness or lack of focus.
* Poor vision in only one eye when the other is closed.
* Headaches or dizziness caused by excessive eye strain.
* Extreme vertigo or nausea not related to any underlying medical condition.
* Problems persist despite the fact that the lenses are properly centered in front of your eyes.
* Problems persist despite waiting out the recommended adjustment period.
If you’ve switched to bifocal, trifocal, or progressive lenses, your eyes do need to adjust – particularly if the prescription strength in only one eye has changed. If you have these symptoms, your problem may simply be caused by the change in prescription:
* The blurriness or fuzziness you experience improves with time.
* You haven’t been using your new glasses on a regular basis.
* Headaches, dizziness, nausea, or vertigo lessen the longer you wear your glasses, or subside greatly after the first few days.
* Vision is clear when each eye is isolated.
* You haven’t yet completed the transition period suggested by your optometrist.
