It's my first time wearing eyeglasses, is it true that you get headaches the first couple of days. They're for far sight if that makes a difference. Thanks.

Yes, it can take up to two weeks for your eyes to adjust. I know this won't make you feel any better but it happens almost every time you get a new prescription.

Yea you cant get out of the headaches even with contacts you'll get that the first couple of days! The reason why is the glasses can magnifie the light! Just stock up on tylonal the first couple of weeks and DONT stop wearing them cause your eyes wont get used to the glasses.

You will usually experience headaches until your eyes are used to them - don't worry, it's perfectly normal. You may also notice that things seem a little out of place, like further away, higher up etc - again, this is normal and it won't be more than a few days before things are fine with or without your glasses!
Hope this helps!

Yes in some cases that can happen.But not in all , Sometimes you may even feel a little strange like watching where you walking the new vision will make you feel very different. Best to start to wear them at home for awhile. Dont give up you will adjust , and If you do not feel. like that is happening then contact your doctor. Good Luck

if they're the right prescription for your eyes, they should not give you headaches. however, if the earpieces rub behind your ears too much or the frames werent properly sized, they can make the ears hurt or the area behind the ears. however, do not wear your glasses outdoors for the first day or two until your eyes adjust to them and then slowly allow your eyes to adjust to the sunlight... the sun in the glasses magnifies the light and can hurt you if you're unprepared. good luck!

Yes, I got headaches when I first starting wearing glasses. They take a good week to get used to.

My Aunt os an eye doctor. she said you might get some headaches for a couple days. but, if they continue for more than 5 days. I would get the prescription check because it may be wrong.

It depends...different people get different side effects. if your glasses dont fit right you can get head aches or ear aches (because youll get use to holding your face a sertain way to keep em from sliding down...that usually causes an ear ache! if this happens its worth it to go drive and get them adjusted around the ear area! trust me! lol)
Or if your prescription is very heavy and youre use to seeing blurry itll be a little wierd for a day or so if you turn your head too fasst, but that goes away quick!

Yes. I don't mind them. If I don't wear them often then sometimes I can get a headache from wearing them since I'm not used to them.

Sometimes, it will happen. It's an adjustment period and should go away, within a couple of days. If it doesn't, go back to the eye doctor, the lens strength may be wrong.
