A related discussion,
blurry eyeglasses was started.
Do you have progressive lenses? I couldn't get used to them either and went back to the bifocals
Dear Mrsmyers,
IT is possible that the type of lens and thickness is different. IT can take one week or so to get adjusted to your new glasses. Usually, glasses will cause distortion if looking anywhere but the center, which sounds like the issue. I would recommend that you try to move your head rather than your eyes and see if that helps. If it does not, seek the care of an eyeMD and get your eyes checked again along with the comparison with your old glasses.

Thank you so much for your comment. I am going to take them back in tomorrow.
My eyes are still not "adjusting" to the lense. I did notice yesterday when I was dring home that when looking straight ahead and "glancing" to either my left or right side without turning my head the billboards on the sides of the road are blurry. However, when I turn my head to face the billboard they become clear...do you happen to know what that could mean?? I definately think it is the lense. The optomotrist made me feel so bad when I was in there. Luckily, I was with my kids otherwise I would have given him a piece of my mind. It was almost like the thought I was lying, but I have no idea why he would think that.
Tell the office that the glasses are unacceptable and you would like them to be remeasured and remade. If they won't do that ask for your money back. Obviously there is something not quite right here.

OMG! I have been going through the SAME exact thing. It is like I have no peripheral vision in my new glasses. I have been back for 3 eye exams and 6 pairs of glasses in an attempt to correct the problem. The last 2 pairs don't have the problem as bad, but I still have eye pain and dizziness, plus my eyes just feel "crazy" when I am wearing them. What is this???
