take them off and try again first thing in the morning… it is a “brain thing”
Today was much better–no nausea, but a slight headache. I think switching to new glasses through the day yesterday didn’t give my brain (and eyes) a chance to “reset”. I’m still getting used to them though. Earlier today, I thought my keyboard was swimming on my desk. No, just looking through the wrong part of my lens.
After more than 20 years wearing regular glasses to correct severe myopia, I got my first pair of bifocals (progressives) about a year ago and felt vaguely ill with nausea and headaches for the first few days. The feeling passed, though, and I’m fine with them now.
The prismatic effect of looking through something that’s not the center of a lens takes some getting used to. What an optician recommended to me the time I got a pair of rimless single visions was to put the new glasses on when I could spend half an hour sitting on my butt looking at one thing, like reading or watching tv. That would give my brain time to adjust to processing and correcting for the “fishbowl” effect in my peripheral vision.
I have the same issue now if I switch back and forth between glasses and contacts through the day. If I pick one and stick with it from the time I get in the shower to the time I go to bed, no problem. If I wait a couple of hours and then change, Swim City for a few minutes.
I have worn contacts for 20+ years. I have progressive glasses that I wear late at night for TV, and on lazy weekend mornings to give me eyes a rest from the contacts like the doctor suggested. But when I leave the house to do something wearing the glasses I get vertigo really bad. My brain just isn’t tuned to the reality of glasses, and never will be with my rare wearing.
