Get Used to New Glasses

October 29, 2009


Eye problems related to visual accuracy are not a rarity anymore. If you are not too keen on going for corrective surgeries or want to avoid inserting lenses into your eye, you cannot avoid wearing glasses. An annual eye check up becomes absolutely necessary if you have problems with impaired vision.

However, all is not well immediately after you don a new pair of spectacles. You need to adjust to the new prescription glasses and will have to put up with some discomfort for a while. There are a few tips that you need to keep in mind during the initial adjustment period. Following them  may help you to minimize your discomfort considerably.

Breaks- It is better to take off your new glasses once in a while. Close your eyes for a minute or two before you put them back on. This helps in reducing the strain that your eyes have to undergo while constantly trying to adjust to the new prescription glasses.

Necessity- You may feel that wearing the new glasses constantly will make you adjust faster. But it is not so. It is better to wear them only when necessary, at first. Try gradually increasing the time of wearing the new glasses by just a little. Eventually you will find that you can see properly with the aid of your new glasses, without any obvious discomfort, even if you continue to wear them for longer durations.

Switch Glasses- You can try switching your new glasses for your old pair if your eyes start getting  tired. This method is very effective as it helps your eyes to relax and also to get used to the new prescription much faster.

Eye Problems- Try to notice if you are plagued by headaches, dry eyes or bouts of dizziness when wearing the newly prescribed glasses. You need to take off the glasses immediately if you experience such problems. Try wearing them once the symptoms subside. Be sure to consult an optometrist if the problems continue over a long period of time.
