My eyeglasses precription changed from -2.75 to -3.25 for both eyes. I just got my new glasses (first new ones in four years). I have pain in my eyes and a bad headache is this normal when your eyes are adjusting to new glasses? (This has nothing to do with eye dilation that was over two weeks ago) I have been wearing new glass for almost 3 days now. Thanks for any advice. :)

Yes, it's normal. You might even experience some dizziness along with your other symptoms. It should go away in a couple more days, while your eyes adjust. However, if it doesn't--go back to your Opt. as your prescription may be too strong.

You might be getting head aches because your new glasses are too strong. When I was younger I got a new pair of glasses and my eye doctor made them WAY too strong. I was an idiot and never said anything about it. I had head aches all the time for a while until I finally got used to them...and the only reason I got used to them is because my eyes weakened to adjust.
Now I can barely see my own hand in front of my face without my contacts in. (I found out later that that same eye doctor got fired, because he was making everyones glasses way too strong. He even gave a few people really strong prescriptions, and when they went somewhere else, they were told they didnt even need glasses). If theyre too strong for you , you should go back and have them adjusted, or your eyes will do what mine did, and weaken to adjust for your glasses being too strong. Explain to them that theyre giving you headaches, they should do something about it.

Yes, it can take time to adjust to a new prescription. If you are still having problems after a few weeks of wear, then go back to the doctor to have your prescription checked, just to make sure it is correct.

NO. as a matter of fact you should be able to see right away.. If you are having problems then the glasses are not right.... I had to have mine re-done twice, the last time I put them on and they were perfect....... go back to the eye specialist and tell them what is going on

No, that is not normal at all. Your lense prescriptions may not have been filled correctly. Take the glasses to your eye Dr. and have him check them. Something is wrong with them.

Not normal, go back and see them. Could be the frames need adjustment, could be the prescription is WRONG! It happens all the time.

yes this is normal. i had the same reaction when i got my new glasses. if this problem still persists after 5 days then its time to go see doctor.

if you have headache, the prescription could most likely be unsuitable for you-- too high or too low for your degree. but check your spectacles first; too tight on your head would give discomfort, and if nose rests are perched too high or too low on your nose it could give inaccurate views too. yep. hope this helps!

no. this shouldn't be happening. take your glasses back to your doc and have them read. it could be that your script is wrong.
