New Glasses - Left Eye Fine, Right Eye Blurry

[rellis10]

I picked up a new pair of glasses with a new perscription a couple of days ago. The Optician told me my left eye had gotten visibly worse while my right eye had got just a little worse. I noticed when i started wearing them that the vision in my left eye was better but my right eye was now quite blurry. The Optician said it would take a few days to get used to the new perscription but after a couple of days i'm seeing little to no difference in the blurriness. Should I contact my Optician for another eye test or give my eyes more time to adjust to the new lenses?

Yes, get another exam right away.  It sounds like something is off.  Try to acually see an eye physician if you can.

Thank you very much for the advice. Since I posted that question there has been no noticable improvement so I was going to stop in at my Opticians today to inquire about the issue, so this advice is very well timed. I will arrange another test ASAP.

Once again, Thank you very much, Doctor.

Thought i'd give a little update to the good doctor.

I went to see my optician and explained the issue as well as I could. They took my old and new glasses and tested them for a while before coming back to me with the explanation that (in as simple terms as I can remember) a certain part of the lense was directed the wrong way. So now they're being fixed.....hopefully.....and I pick them up on wednesday.

Thanks again for the help Doc. If you hadnt given that advice, i'm the type of guy that'd leave things be and hope they get working on their own.
