Hello there - I'm having problems with a new lens I prescribed, and was wondering in anyone had any input. I noticed I was having a blurring effect out of my right eye, so I went for a check-up and the optometrist ended up with a prescription that was almost the same as my previous:
Previous: -2.25 in both eyes New: -2.25 in the left, -2.00, -0.50 180 in the right
As soon as I put these glasses on, I felt odd. There was a strong pulling sensation in right eye, and I could never really seem to focus it. After a week I went back, and the optometrist said that people often take awhile to get used to an astigmatism correction, and I should wait longer and eventually my eye would feel normal. However, it's now been almost 2 months, and while I no longer feel the pulling, my right even never seems to really be in focus, and I find it hard to read anything (at any distance). It's almost like there's no contrast between foreground and background, so words just smear. However, if I close my left eye, the problem almost totally disappears. I've had the lens placement checked and rechecked, as well as the lenses, and everytime everything checks out fine - the lenses are the correct prescription, and they are centered right over my pupils.
Is it usual to take THIS long to get used to a new lens?
