    Hello,

    I'm a new wearer of contact lenses and I am having problems adjusting.
    I'm on my third trial pair with a total of about 2 weeks total wear.
    the first 2 sets were unbearable vision wise. This is the best set.

    I'm wearing Frequency 55's. The script from the blisters 1s:
    right 8.4/14.4 -2.75 -1.75 x 30
    left 8.4/14.4 -6.00 -1.75 x 130

    I've noticed a dramatic increase in depth perception with these lenses
    as compared to my glasses. The problem I am having is that in visually
    "busy" areas, like looking down a supermarket asile or something with an
    irregular surface, I find it really hard to focus on one area or item.
    At times it is almost overwhelming. The Dr. seems to think that my
    vision is OK (20/25) on the chart. I haven't had any issues with the
    lenses themselves, they are comfortable for about 10-12 hours.

    Is this just my brain needing to get accustomed to the extra depth
    information? Is this abnormal? How long does it take to adjust?



    Thanks for the help

    Don

    You have quite a difference in the prescription between your two eyes.
    With glasses, this causes problems that contacts won't have. I would
    think that it would take your brain some time to get used to this.
