If you had or have had a change in medications or have diabetes this can change your prescription. If they verify correctly, then ask for an Rx Check with the doctor. If the axis is off or the bifocal is too high or even the wrong type of bifocal/progressive is used then you will have problems. First, you need to take them back and ask that they be verified to your prescription. There are many reasons that your glasses do that. And, yes, I am one of these people who cannot tolerate the fast moving motion out a window or an I-Max Theater. You have to get used to moving your head rather than your eyes to read. ![]() I was very tempted to go back to my old bifocal style glasses, but am glad that I stuck it out. Because I was not wearing the glasses on a steady daily basis (but rather my contacts), I have to say it took me about 4 months to adjust to them. and he checked the Rx on the lenses and found it to be correct, and then had to make an adjustment of the nose piece and ear pieces so that my eyes looked through a different portion of the eye glass. I felt like I was seasick and could not adjust to reading, walking, or doing whatever else I had to do while wearing the glasses. When I got my progressive lenses (eyeglasses) last summer, I had a heck of a time adjusting to them. I wear contacts probably 12-14 hours a day. You really should not be having this much problem adjusting so something simply is not right with the glasses. You must move your head with progressive lens. If you are looking down reading a book, and you move your eyes right or left you will get some distortion. A progressive lens must be centered on your eyes. What you are describing for symptoms sounds like something you would see with progressive lens. If it was, then I would have the positioning of the cut checked as well. :rolleyes:Īs I mentioned before, I would have the glasses checked again to ensure the prescription was cut properly. My husband has worn glasses since he was a teenager and got his first bifocals when he turned 40, so he is not sympathetic to my plight. It's like the page is curved and only the words in the middle are "straight." I'm thinking that I just need to force myself to wear them 5-10 minutes a few times a day and work up from there. ![]() A couple of you mentioned the distortion of words in a book - that's exactly what happens to me. I have to 'fess up: I haven't been wearing my glasses since January - I've only worn them a few times and only for a few minutes each time because they make me queasy. I mentioned my "video sickness" to the eye doc and she said it was an inner-ear thing as opposed to a vision thing. I am wondering if anyone else has this same problem and whether taking a motion sickness med such as Bonine or Dramamine for a few days would help me get acclimated. So I'm having a hard time wearing these glasses that I am legally supposed to wear when I drive. I am very susceptible to motion sickness, I guess - I don't really get carsick or anything like that, but I cannot watch home videos or really jerky-photography movies (like hand-held cameras running through the woods type stuff). However, I can't wear them more than a few minutes before I get "seasick" - dizzy and headachy. They are no-line bifocals and they are glasses that I should be wearing all the time - for driving, for reading, etc. ![]() At the ripe old age of 48, back in January, I had to get glasses. Not sure where to post this, but I hope someone can help.
