i got new glasses for the first time in a decade a few months ago - same prescription but still disorienting. are you taking to them any better in the 2 months since you started?

the first few days are especially disorienting because if you've needed a prescription for several years (in my case over 10yr), your eyes have become accustomed to over-compensating for your vision. so when you put on the glasses, at first it actually looks more blurry until your brain relaxes and figures out that it no longer needs to over-compensate.

very weird adjustment period that takes around a week, after which everything looks blurry without the glasses (as you'd expect).

pretty minor prescription so nothing too bad but yeah did have minor headaches here and there for ~ 10yr. didn't really think much of it but became more apparent as I spent 12hr+ daily looking at screens 😂

My jaw is on the floor. You didn’t get headaches or anything over that decade from strain?

They told me I needed glasses. I wore em for a bit. Then they broke while I was on a trip and I never went back to wearing them lol.

Mine is relatively new. They said it would hit one day after 40 and they were right!  But I dislike taking them off to read and putting them on when I need to see something far away like a sign. Super disoriented at the moment.
