Afraid to try my new glasses again...after severe problem?

After my last eye exam, I was told I had been wearing the wrong prescription for three years.  I was given a new prescription and had two new pairs of rather expensive eyeglasses made (progressives, glass lenses, etc). I put my new glasses on this morning for the very first time. After two hours, I had work to do for school at the computer. After thirty minutes of typing I lost my vision ! First everything got hard to see and blurry (I tried to strain to see because I only had one paragraph left to type). Then, a flashy line (it looked like this...VVVVVV ) appeared across the horizon of both eyes. I couldn't see anything not even with the old glasses. I laid down to rest my eyes but even when they were closed I saw the lines. Eventually, the flashy line literally worked it's way up to the top of my eyes and left and my vision returned. I was terrified. I am afraid to even try the new glasses again. I was told that it might take two days to adjust to my new glasses, but I never experienced anything like this. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have bad vision in left eye (lazy eye) and fair vision in my right.

Thank you,
Raine

That flashy line may have nothing do with your glasses. it could be a migraine, a floater. you should see an optomologist for a full exam if you are uncomfortable with where you are. find one at aao.org

The flashy thing suggests an Eye Migraine (often no headache) or a TIA which could be disease of heart, brain or blood vessels. See an Eye MD soon. Find one at www.aao.org
