The guy who gave me the contacts had introduced his own data regarding my prescription, but since that one was wrong, the glasses were, too. I was kinda lucky because I didn't like my new frames and because of that mistake, I got to change the frames too free of charge. But, yes, have them checked, just in case. I know mine gave me the most terrible headaches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1195251 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 02:52:51 +0000 Gigi 1195251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One time when I got a new pair of glasses, as I watched the ground in front of me as I walked it appeared to be rising up under my feet! I don't know if this is what you're experiencing. I just needed an adjustment period. But to be on the safe side, I would certainly call the doctor's office. Glasses are too expensive to mess around with having the wrong pair! Errors are made more often than you'd think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1195208 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 01:43:39 +0000 deb 1195208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take it back to where you got the specs. They can test them to make sure they match the prescription. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1195199 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 01:35:56 +0000 doubleh 1195199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been trying to wear them today, but I definitely think something is wrong. It's weird;&nbsp; I actually can see better in them, as long as I am not focusing on planes. &nbsp;But there is a definite slant to everything that is not adjusting. &nbsp;I am wondering if the scrip is screwy. &nbsp;Of course, I got scrip from dr and specs elsewhere, so I am probably going to be chasing back and forth to fix...thanks all.</p> <p>And Laura, I would have thought acid would be a lot more fun than this!;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1195175 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 01:04:31 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1195175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, definitely check on Monday to see if there was an error made or a slight problem with the implementation of the prescription. There's an adjustment period when your prescription changes or when you go between glasses and contacts, but you shouldn't feel like you're tripping on acid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1195158 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 00:43:16 +0000 catgirl 1195158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair of glasses switched from flat to curved lenses because they were hitting my bare lashes, and I felt this way for a bit.&nbsp; Did that change?&nbsp; If not, could be they are not properly centered. </p> <p>Oh, and they put a reading prescription in instead of distance - I don't even HAVE reading glasses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1195107 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 00:07:32 +0000 Angie 1195107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just returned another pair of specs (had a new prescription put into an old pair of retro frames)&nbsp;because the new lenses weren't sharp. Definitely take them back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1194996 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 21:22:21 +0000 Anonymous 1194996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, check! This happened to a friend of mine. It turned out they had put the wrong prescription entirely (someone else's!) into his frames.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1194914 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:14:17 +0000 lyn* 1194914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your glasses sound like they could have been warped, I'd go check with the eye docs just to make sure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1194911 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:11:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1194911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's definitely worth going back to the optometrist and finding out what's going on. I had a pair of new glasses once that didn't seem right and my eyes were not adjusting to them - it turns out that they had gotten the prescription mixed up and my left eye prescription was actually in my right lens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1194906 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:07:37 +0000 Kristin SF 1194906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whenever my prescription changes, things appear darker and smaller for a brief time. Not stretched out and I never felt like I was on a boat.</p> <p>Can you try sitting and reading with them or watching tv, maybe at night, for like an hour? At least then, you won't fall over! And then you can see if maybe all that's required is an adjustment period. And you can check for headaches, too.</p> <p>And definitely plan for a Monday follow-up! That seems odd to me. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1194869 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 19:34:06 +0000 Diana 1194869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had you been wearing specs or contacts before this?&nbsp; Has your prescription changed?&nbsp; In my experience, if my prescription changes there is always an adjustment period.&nbsp; Things appear a little... wavy, and you might get a headache the first couple of days.&nbsp; If you have old glasses or weren't wearing them before, I'd just try to ease into them slowly, maybe a few hours a day at first.&nbsp; If they're still odd after a few days then definitely get it checked out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prescrip-specs-wearers-this-is-wrong-right#post-1194849 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 19:03:42 +0000 doubleh 1194849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got my glasses today and I think the prescription is wrong. &nbsp;I know that it takes some time to adjust to wearing them, but my left side has a different perspective than my right. &nbsp;Everything rectangular is like a stretched out trapezoid. &nbsp;I don't think one gets used to that.</p> <p>Anyway, my optometrist is gone for the weekend so I can't contact him until Monday. &nbsp;I can live without glasses for a few more days, but I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone before and the outcome? &nbsp;Or maybe I'm just crazy and should wear the glasses for longer than 15 minutes? (I wasn't getting dizzy yet, but I felt like I was on a boat.) </p>
