Why do glasses make my vision so weird when i'm tired?

• Upvotes

I wear them for my mild astigmatism and I noticed if I slept too little or feel my head extra heavy and dizzy, when I put on my glasses it hurts, it's like my eyes try to compete with eachother and my vision feels trippy like i'm drunk? One of the eyes might even tear a bit and overall just feel like i'll start to spin and get nauseous. If I take them off I have literally no issues.

Yday when I slept 10 hours? Nothing. Just good vision and that's it. Does this mean anything?

Wired glasses.. rant.

• Upvotes

This year I decided to get new glasses and decided to go with a Kendra Scott wired rim pair (decently big frames). I’ve had the WORST time with these glasses. I’ve had these since April and still have no gotten a good fit on them. I do have a higher prescription and wasn’t aware that the bigger the frame, the thicker the lenses as I’ve always went with smaller frames. I’ve been to 4 different offices for adjustments (lenscrafters did give me the best fit so far) but I’m still having constant rubbing on my right nose pad, temple arms feel as though they are sitting directly on top of my ear, and they feel crooked on my face.

I really liked the fit from LensCrafters but it feels as though something has shifted and they are out of alignment again. Is this a common thing with wired glasses?

Best place for round rimless glasses?

• Upvotes

I'm looking for some very specific glasses and can't seem to find a reliable website to order from. :/ I have a pretty heavy prescription too, so some frames are out of reach for me.

I'm looking specifically for large/x-large circular rimless frames. Not oval or geometric. Well made and not $200.

I'm desperate. 😩

Astigmatism in my 2-year-old: Should we start glasses or wait for his eyes to develop?

Astigmatism in my 2-year-old: Should we start glasses or wait for his eyes to develop?
My son is two and has never shown any obvious signs of vision problems. However, because I have astigmatism and hate wearing glasses, I wanted his eyes checked from birth.
After several checkups and a hospital referral, he has now been prescribed glasses:
Right eye: +1.00 sphere, −1.25 cylinder
Left eye: +1.75 sphere, −2.00 cylinder
Neither my husband nor my parents or siblings have astigmatism, although both our extended families have people who wear glasses.
My own experience makes me wonder whether his prescription might improve naturally. I was diagnosed with astigmatism at around 10 but rarely wore glasses until I was 18. By then, my prescription had improved considerably, reportedly to around half its previous strength.
Now I’m wondering whether my son’s eyes might also change as he grows. He’s only two, and I’m confused about whether to start glasses immediately or ask about monitoring his eyes first.
I’m particularly looking for experiences from parents whose toddlers had similar prescription values.
Did your child’s astigmatism improve as they grew? Did you start glasses immediately, or did your doctor recommend monitoring? If they wore glasses from age two, did their prescription eventually decrease?
I don’t want my dislike of glasses or my personal experience to influence a decision that could affect my son’s vision. I just want to understand my options and hear from parents who’ve been through something similar.
Thank you! ❤️

I can see with my contacts but not my glasses?

1 Upvotes

I recently switched to a new optometrist, got a new prescription, glasses and contacts. I can see perfectly fine with my contacts but I can’t see out of glasses. The strange part is it’s only the left lens that I can’t see out of. I took them back, they retested the glasses and redid my eye test. The glasses and my test said the same thing as before, but they still sent the glasses back to the lab to redo them. I get them back and same issue happened (the left is still blurry but in a different way if that makes sense). Before I switched doctors I sorta had the same problem but a lot less intense (I couldn’t see around the edges)

So I just got a refund, but I’m scared to go to a different place and the same issue happens, especially since I don’t really know why??

If it helps, my prescription is:
Left: -2.25, Right: -3.00
I also have astigmatism in both eyes, in different directions.

Please tell me I’m not the only one :(

Note: I’m not too familiar with Reddit, so I’m sorry if the formatting is awkward :)

How does my corneal curvature affect my dioptrin?

Just got a pair of glasses for 150€ and I have only ~ -1 on both eyes and was wondering if corneal curvature affects the way I see or could I just get any cheap pairs of -1 dioptrin glasses?

I just started night driving at 19, I feel like i can't see!

3 Upvotes

I have perfect vision during the day, the only issues i ever have are with digital things far away, i get a blur on, but even then its very minor, but at night other people's headlights and the road lights block everything, i can't even see the centerline because of other people's lights/streetlights. The only time I can see is out in the country when there's no one coming because of the nice reflective yellow line. Should I get glasses for this or just get better headlights? Thanks!

First time posting here since I’m getting desperate to find these for cosplay, but I’m trying to find the glasses/sunglasses that Hal Jordan wears in episode 5 of Lanterns

I’ve seen that it could be Moncler Diffractor ML0206, ML0089, or that it is some sort of welding/blue light glasses. It could be entirely custom for the show, but I’m not sure

Any help would be appreciated in trying to find out what glasses these are! Thank you!

Vision gets distorted when wearing new glasses if I look up, and I'm having a hard time reading certain screens. Is this normal with new glasses?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

As the topic title says, I just got new glasses. However, my vision gets distorted on the bottom when I look up, and I'm having a hard time reading certain screens, like the one in the car. I oddly can read my phone fine, and other words look great. The curving when I look up is making it hard to walk, as everything is getting distorted. Is this something that will go away, or is it the glasses?

I got a second pair of glasses as well, and these don't do that. But the sides are also over stretched, something I need to get fixed soon. (I didn't realize it until later, it felt fine in the store, and then I realized the sides are HUGE when I got home and that I had not opened them all the way when I put them on), so it could if they fit right.

I also am not sure if these glasses are high index. They look really thick. I paid for high index for one of the pairs. The first are my new ones (supposedly high index), second is the pair that doesn't distort, and third are my old ones (also were high index). My new lenses look really thick, and they aren't supposed to. My vision changed by 1 point, yes, but to make that much of a difference? Finally, if it matters, my vision is terrible and I do have astigmatism. Thanks in advance.

Why did they shave down my lenses?

53 Upvotes

I just picked these up from visionworks today. Put them on without seeing them (because I am blind) and was wondering why my vision was so messed up because my prescription didn’t change that much. Turns out they shaved off most of the sides and created this almost fish bowl effect when I wore them. I have absolutely no peripheral vision and everything is warped. They also look way different on my face and not in a good way. I’ve never seen this done before. I asked when I picked the frames if my prescription strength would be a problem and they said no. I also paid for the high index lenses and my current wire frame glasses work fine with my prescription without any weird shaving. Has anyone encountered this before? Is this normal to do without consulting the person first?

EDIT: I went back and complained. They said they could submit the order again and see if it comes out different the second time. Like what?!?! I’m not waiting another two weeks for them to just do the same thing over again! How can they have no control over it. This is so weird.

Anyway, I’m going to shop for smaller and/or rounder frames thanks to the suggestions from you guys. They didn’t suggest it, I had to bring it up to them that that could be a solution (seriously what). And if that doesn’t work I’m getting my money back and trying elsewhere. Thanks for everyone’s help! You guys were so much more helpful than the people whose job it is to sell me glasses.

Prescribed Glasses for the first time

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am 26f. I recently had an eye test done where I was recommended glasses as my vision tends to be blurry (very slightly) at a distance which causes some strain. I only realized when I friend could read a sign that I couldnt. I only got them yesterday but feel like I do not notice too much of a difference. My eyes are still adjusting to the lenses though. Should I give it some time to see if it improves?

I have worn glasses my whole life. I am an adult now, and I work in Cell Phone Repair. So as you imagine, my glasses scratch up quick quick (Due to sometimes flying debris). I never pay for the extra coatings and layers they offer when i get my glasses. But i want to know if those extra layers are worth it, like what will be good to pay extra for that can extend my glasses lifespan?

I have a Lenskart eyeglass frame with colorful graphics printed on the temples (side arms). I’d like to make it look clean and minimal by removing the graphics.
I’m pretty sure it’s a factory-printed design, not a sticker.

Does not wearing glasses when you are prescribed them make your vision worse?

2 Upvotes

I just got back from an eye test and got a new prescription where the optometrist told me my vision had gotten worse within a year. I told him I am prescribed glasses but never wear them because I don’t really need to personally and I feel fine doing tasks without them. When he told me my vision had gotten worse, he said this was because I hadn’t been wearing my glasses. Is this true?

Ear / nose pain

1 Upvotes

I got glasses at 13 and since then to now (19) every time I try wearing various ones I always either get a really bad pain behind my ears and either light headed or a bad headache, or if I take it off my ear and leave it on my nose, my nose starts to pain and I get a headache.

I’ve had a few pairs but I just can’t make it. My mom worked at an optical and I’ve tried out a bunch but I just keep getting told you need to get accustom to the frames. Recently I got a large pair of meta rayband and the same thing.

Has anyone else had this problem before and if so, any tips? I’m a student pilot so my glasses are required to fly though I don’t really wear them otherwise. I have decent vision but wearing them I notice it’s slight less blurry compared to what I normally see.
