I have these glasses that as of this morning wore very infrequently because they are hard to get used to. Reading the paper was terrible this morning and I should wear them. It is just hard to keep looking up and down through them at near and far items.

YES, you can get used to them. It takes a day or two. If you are finding it hard to get used to your progressive lenses, they weren't made correctly or the frames may have to be adjusted. Progressives are very sensitive to the shape of the glasses around your face and how far the lens is from the eye,

I went a whole year with glasses I couldn't see out of, and with no peripheral vision in one eye, not only because the lenses were made wrong, but the prescription was wrong also. Another optician had to re-make four pairs of glasses for me before I gave up. I finally went to a local optometrist (instead of a chain store) and paid a little more for glasses that I could actually see out of, and I could see from day one. But it was so frustrating getting there!

Don't give up. You may have to get another pair. Don't accept them until you can see out of them. Don't let them tell you, "you have to get used to them," or you'll go for months feeling dizzy, having headaches, squinting and doing the "neck exercises" in order to be able to see, thinking something is wrong with YOU, when it's the glasses that are no good. GOOD LUCK!!

Getting Used To Progressive Lenses

2016-10-04 00:39:42 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

I have progressive glasses and they work well, I found that I move my head a bit more in some instances than my other non progressive glasses (due to the lenses 3 areas of magnification). I originaly needed glasses to see distance and then as the years passed I found I was taking them off to read and holding the media closer. Now that I have the progressive glasses I wear them all the time and I am used to them, I hope this helps

Does anyone ever get used to progressive lenses in glasses?

Ha! The last time I went to the optometrist she wanted me to go into bifocals. She said the progressive lenses take time to get used to.

I went straight to the glasses store next door from the appointment, and told the sales clerk who helped me that I didn't want bifocals at all. I asked that they just use the part of the prescription that dealt with distance viewing, and if I had trouble seeing to read, I could always remove my glasses.

I've never had a day of trouble with them. And I read quite well with them as well as see distances.

Yes. I got used to them right away. Prior to that, I was putting on and taking off reading glasses all the time. Now I just point my eyes in the appropriate direction and see clearly. It's great.

Yes, I have been wearing them for 2 years now. I was the same way when I first got mine but you will get used to them.

I wear them and have for about 5 years. Yes, you get used to them, but it takes a week or two of constant wearing. Your eyes will train to find the right spots for focus.

I've wearing mine for ten years . I had switched to contacts, I found them more difficult. Plus I have an astigmatism. You do get used to it, but have your frames tightened occasionally
