...until you preferred the "view" with your glasses vs without.
Background: first got glasses at age 35 for astigmatism - wore them religiously for 3 ish years (one RX change half way through there). Now, have been doing without for 1.5 years, just got new glasses today, and think I am suffering the effects of my eyes having compensated for their short-comings for the last year and a half.....and now struggling to "uncompensate" since I now have glasses....
Does anybody out there understand what I am saying??
Thanks - later!

No more than a week, normally, two at the outside.
Even with a big change in Rx.
It's more likely that the fitting of your glasses is a little off, especially if the prescription is fairly strong.
The angling (how much the bottom of the frame tilts in)
And the bowing (how much the frames "wrap")
can make a very big difference to how the Rx works.
That often needs a minor on-the-spot adjustment at wherever you got the glasses.
I would say it's a good idea to drop in as soon as is convenient and say "I'm having trouble with these: could it be the adjustment or should I just give it a little longer?"
The assistant can also confirm at the same time that the glasses have been made correctly (mistakes do happen)
It's rare, but just possible, for a large change in Rx to need introducing in two steps, but I'd make that a route of last choice, after.
1) adjustment
2) give it time
3) get review of Rx

I'm in my late 40s and use reading glasses only when I'm wearing my contact lenses. I don't need them when I wear my regular glasses. I don't like using reading glasses and try to avoid it when I can. That's because they seem to mess up my vision for a while after I take them off. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm nearsighted. Reading glasses are for farsightedness and it's the opposite of my problem.

you're able to harm them in somewhat yet you're able to not get a blister or bubble below your foot. you are able to flow to the foot care aisle of any objective, walmart or drugstore and seek for the clean gel/silicone inserts you place interior the perfect area of your coach to be certain if that facilitates. If not, perhaps you're merely not shrink out for the peak you're wearing. i will placed on as much as 4 inch severe heels yet even wtih my experience aching, i'm greater companies to get a corn on my little toe, so i comprehend to be careful and not placed on the comparable shoes quite a few days in a row to grant the floor a harm. additionally, are you wearing hose? which could help shrink friction. surely try the silicone/gel inserts.
