Cute case! Getting used to eyeglasses is a little unnerving the first couple of days I have found. It's good we can adjust to them though!

Well, I've worn glasses or contacts for many years. Since I have dry eye syndrome, I can no longer wear contacts. the last contacts I tried over 10 years ago were actually "bifocal" Talk about having to adjust to them which I never did so I just went back to glasses.

Now I'm having vision problems and the dr can't figure out exactly what's wrong. I've almost lost all vision in my right eye which has always been weaker. But I couldn't even read the top line on the chart...could only see tops of letters. Then they did the "color book test" which is like those prints you see at the mall where if you look at it long enough, you can make out the actual subject in it. I didn't even pass the test with my right eye..(sometimes I think they try to trick you!) My dr just looks at me like "are you serious"? Well, yes!! So now I have an apt with a retina specialist and then will go see a neurologist. I did this routine 2 years ago and none of the doctors could figure out what was wrong.

I wear the progressive lens and usually don't have any problems with them. Right now though, if I stay on computer too long, both eyes will become so blurred I can't see anything!!! Dr did say that I needed cataract surgery in boh eyes but he won't do it until all other options have been explored.

My little 2.5 yo grandson had to start wearing glasses about 4 months ago. The glasses frame is rubber and the lens are acrylic. He is so cute in them!!

Bifocals are the pits until you get used to them. I fell off curbs, upstairs, and stumbled around like a drunken sailor. When they offered me tri-focals I had a fit but adjusted to them overnight. Courage and some Tylenol will get you through! Good luck!

Many years ago I got a new pair of glasses. They gave me really bad headaches. I took them back and they said the prescription was out of alignment, they would a man with the widest spread eyes headaches.. They sent them back, got the prescrpiton fixed and no more headaches. Have them check them out thoroughly.

Oh I feel your pain. I have been wearing glasses for almost 50 years and have never had trouble adjusting to a new prescription . . . until I got trifocals. Never did the bifocals, went from single focus to trifocal and walked around dizzy and with a headache for days. I have had them for about 4 years now, and am on my second pair but I still hate them. I have complained, changed doctors, changed labs and still can't see for sh--. I am just marking time until the doctor can find evidence of cataracts, then it is surgery and new eyes for me. He would do the surgery today, but insurance won't pay for it until he finds a cataract.

Sometimes the problem with the glasses is NOT you, it's the glasses themselves. They aren't fit right to your face. Queezyness and dizzyness should NOT happen when you put them on. Take them back and have them fitted to you again.

I have worn glasses for a lot of years. The first pair of bifocals I got did to me what you are experiencing. I could not wear them (falling, tripping,etc.). After several trips back to dr they discovered that the line on one one different than the other. When they had that lens redone everything was fine and I had on trouble. Many years ago my husband got glasses that felt really strange. He had to teach a class that first evening after picking them up. As a joke heput them on upside down and guess what -- they worked fine. Dr said he had never had a pair of glasses with the lenses reversed.

Your doctor says you need cataract surgery but he will not do it unless all other options have been explored??? I suggest you get a second opinion stat and maybe get referred to a cataract specialist! I have worn glasses since I was 6 years old and got contacts at age 11 "in order to slow down the progression of my nearsightedness". By the time I was 11, my eyes were already at -10.0 dioptrie. I am 48 this year and started having mild cataracts about 10 years ago. Two years ago, the left eye cataract was ripe enough to operate and my right eye will finally be done this March. The reason they had to operate my cataract was that I had extreme glare especially at night and my eye prescription could not be corrected anymore with stronger lenses. I was having issues with blurry vision and dry eyes. Have they done a glare test on you? You will look through a cone that is very brightly lit and asked to read letters from the reading chart. How about a visual field test? Any glaucoma/ high pressure in eyes? Your regular eye doctor should have looked at your optic nerve as well as your retina during a routine exam after dilating your eyes and if there were issues should have noticed something. I have holes in my retina due to my extreme nearsightedness (-11.5) that are being monitored and at times lasered annually by a retina specialist.

I love your glasses case because it is heart shaped!!!! Where did you find it? I REALLY need one like that. LOL

Glad you are feeling better today with your new glasses.

Progressive lens did not work for me :( I wear bifocals with lines and now don't even see the 'line'.

Had a new pair one time and they reversed the lens (left one in right and right one in left). Would you believe that I couldn't see work a darn :). Everyone makes mistakes.
