Eye Problem

I had a new eyeglass prescription recently and couldn't adjust to my varifocals as I normally do. After 2 months of persisting with them I have suffered with a blackout and vertigo. Could this be caused by a wrong eye Prescription?

Yes, return as soon as possible to the "eye doctor" that prescribed them to have a "glasses check" NOTE: inquire if this will cost you money for a visit. Most ophthalmologists and optometrists DO NOT CHARGE FOR A GLASSES RECHECK. Also check with whomever made the glasses asking how much time you have to have a free "regrind" of the RX OR return for a cash refund.

The longer you wait the harder it will be to get anything done.

Thanks for your comments I feel I know what is going on with me now. Thank goodness! I have actually taken your advice and have gone for a cash refund as  the opticians never once offered a glass recheck even though I had returned on numerous occassions. I now have an eye test with an optician who I know is very good and they said they will sort my problem out. I actually should have stayed with this optician in the first place but I put price over my own health.

Thanks again for your help.
