I just resently got new glasses and I havent worn glasses for about 2
years now. But here I am with them again. But my problem is something
ive never had before. My glasses that are for my hyperopia(farsighted)
are OK(notice only ok not good or great) for upclose like reading for
what they are suppost to help in but for far away distant things even
15ft in front of me start to get blurry. Now I have posted once before
on here about a week ago and I was told that it could take some time
for my eyes to get used to them. Well nothing has improved and it
actually gives me headachs and the eye with hyperopia gets kinda
stressed. Is this still normal after one week? This glasses were not
cheap so I am kind of worried on what I should do. Any replies are
welcome.

Go back to your optometrist. When my glasses were wrong I knew it
immediately, but it certainly shouldn't take more than a few days to get used
to any newness.

Go back to your OD and tell him/her that your Rx is unacceptable. If it was
an ophthalmologist, then find an OD (optometrist). If they put drops in your
eye before the exam, then tell them you want a new exam without the drops,
or try another OD.

When you go for an eye exam, make sure your eyes are not tired, and you
don't have a hangover from alcohol or drugs (unless you plan on being stoned
24 hours a day).
