Question 1

i got new glasses that distort my vision?

Accepted Answer

Retest: Glasses generally improve the vision noticeably.  If you have been used to good vision from each eye and have gotten a new pair which does not provide this, then go back to the doctor (you were seeing an ophthalmologist -right?) who can check this out and get a proper correction.  Most optical shops will fix a lense for any reason in a two month window from the first eyeglass made there.

Question 5

what is the definition or description of: distorted vision?

Accepted Answer

Waviness in images: Distorted vision often called metamorphopsia, is the perception of visual images having a wavy, slanted or irregularity that you know shouldn't appear that way.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Yes if severe: In this picture you'll see how close your sinuses are to your eyeballs.  Increased pressure in your sinuses can put pressure on the nerves used for eye movement.  Sinus medication can also make it hard to focus your eyes. If the area around your eyes gets red and swollen, or if you have double vision,  the infection could have traveled to a dangerous place. For any vision change, see a doctor!
