So you have just been fitted with your first pair of glasses. Even though clearer vision is a big win, adjusting to life with glasses can come with a few bumps along the way.
It’s completely normal for new glasses wearers to go through an adaptation phase. Your eyes and brain need a little time to get used to processing visual information differently. During this period, you might feel slightly dizzy or experience mild headaches.
Consistency is key to adjusting to your new eyewear. It may be tempting to keep taking them off when they feel unfamiliar or strange, but wearing your glasses as prescribed helps your eyes and brain adapt faster.
Glasses should fit snugly but not tightly. If they constantly slide down your nose, pinch behind your ears, or sit crooked, you’ll likely end up with discomfort or even headaches. Stop by your optometrist's practice for a quick adjustment if anything feels off. A proper fit not only feels better but also ensures your lenses are correctly aligned with your eyes.
There’s a learning curve to wearing glasses, and no question is too small. Whether you’re unsure how to clean them, worried about pressure on your nose, or curious about lens options, your optometrist is there to help.
