My first ever pair of prescription glasses

Hardline said:

Everything is more blurry when I wear them and it's giving me a headache.
Do they take getting adjusted to or did they make the lenses wrong?
There's no way I'll be able to drive with these on.

I am typing this post as I wear them and I can't tell what I'm typing until i take the glasses off.

Any advice?

Are you sure you know what they're for? I ask because I have fantastic close up vision but my distance vision is progressively getting worse. Wearing my glasses for close up things gives me a headache and makes things blurry so I take them off unless I need them for distance (like driving or watching tv from across the room)

Some people are the opposite and need them for close but it wrecks distance,

then some people need bifocals because they need different strengths for close and distance.

I don't know @Hardline very well, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he knows why he needs glasses.

Your glasses should be comfortable with no headaches. I would go back to your optometrist.

lol, I'm sure he does, but some doctors are not good at explaining things about what the glasses are for. Mine's fantastic. She's awesome. She also explained why I wasn't really a good candidate for contacts because of the huge difference between my distance and near vision...so she saved me lots of money.

Optometrist don't like selling people contacts. Because some just keep that prescription and start ordering contacts on line. Not having to go back to that optometrist for several years. They lose money when people do that. They want you in glasses, so you can break them and keep coming back.

I wear progressive lenses. I've had the prescription wrong on my glasses a couple of times, and once the clinic didn't center my glasses correctly to my eye which is important if you're wearing progressive lenses. Each time they corrected it and I was good to go.
