Basically title; how long did it take you to get used to them?
For bonus info for me, how old were you when you started wearing them? How bad are your eyes?
I finally had to give in and get them. My eyes aren’t that bad (I think) but I’m almost 40. I’ve had them made a few times in the past because I have had a prescription all this time (since my mid 20s) but I never wore them. It was more work than my eyes were doing…… probably. Felt that way anyway…
But I can’t avoid it now and I got an additional pink tint added to maybe help with headaches (not directly related to my eyes, I’ve had the headaches most of my life; they run in the family, yay!)… and one eye has a stronger prescription than the other and it’s insanely nauseating. It’s my dominant eye no less. And maybe I shouldn’t have done all the vision changes at once.
How long am I gunna deal with this? I can’t just stop wearing them after a few days this time, because off is worse for reading and I know it and I notice it.
Edit: this is day one of wearing these. It sucks but it’s not like this is ongoing. This is new to me in that it’s physically uncomfortable, but my eyes are legit bad and I’ve known it and I think the prescription might be a bit off but they have been telling me for years if I just wear the damned things my eyes will relax and my prescription will probably change. I do not like the visual changes. They make me sick because I have neurological problems that both cause headaches and intense motion sickness. Like I can’t swing on swings without getting violently ill. -end edit
55m here.
I’m farsighted and started to need glasses for close up around the age of 36. Never really had to get use to them per se as I always had non-prescription sunglasses anyway.
I became a full time glasses wearer around the age of 40. At the age of 45 I became a progressive lens wearer and those took me about 2 full weeks to get use to. So it’s been about 10 years that I’ve worn progressives and my script has changed 4 times. It takes me a couple of days to get used to a new script.
I’m also legally blind in my right eye. It sees just well enough that it tracks with my left eye. One optometrist insisted on giving me 1/2 strength script for my right eye and I went along with it. It took me weeks to get used to it as I’m not used to having binocular vision of any kind, not to mention the near Coke bottle look to the lens. 3D movies are almost and absolute no go for me, because they make me ill. My current glasses have a script on the right lens, but it’s not nearly as strong.
