What to Expect With Your New Pair of Glasses

Posted on

Whether you've worn glasses for years or this is your first pair, it's completely normal to go through an adjustment period with your new prescription. This can take up to two weeks, but don’t worry—your eyes will adapt as long as your prescription was properly prescribed by a professional and your frames are correctly fitted. Here are some tips to help you get used to your new glasses more comfortably.

Get Fitted Right

Your vision will improve once you start wearing your new glasses, but you might feel a bit off at first. Common experiences include sharper vision, slight distortion in your peripheral vision, or even headaches. If these symptoms persist beyond a few days or a week, it’s a good idea to check back with your optometrist or have your frames adjusted by an optician. This is especially common if it's your first pair or if you've been using the same prescription for a long time. Remember, accurate measurements like pupillary distance (PD) and lens height (OC or SEG) are crucial for optimal performance of your prescription.

Take Your Time

Try to ease into your new glasses by wearing them only when you're not moving around much. Activities like reading, watching TV, or working on a computer are great ways to adjust. However, avoid driving, running, or walking until you feel comfortable. These activities can be disorienting if you're not used to wearing glasses regularly or if your prescription has changed. Give yourself time to get used to it before jumping into more dynamic situations.

 

Be Mindful of Your Frames

Wearing glasses is more than just a practical choice—it’s a lifestyle change. Make sure to clean your lenses and frames regularly, and try not to fall asleep in them. Keeping your glasses clean helps maintain clear vision and extends their lifespan. Also, always remove your glasses with both hands to keep the frame in good condition.

Expect Some Changes

Some people worry that wearing glasses too often will make them dependent, but that’s not true. Your eyes aren’t becoming dependent on your prescription—they’re just getting used to seeing more clearly. Be patient and give yourself time to adjust. Consistent use of your new glasses will help you get the most out of them. Also, avoid switching between old and new prescriptions, as this can confuse your brain and slow down the adjustment process.
