A member asked:

Can you tell me is distortion or dizziness normal for new glasses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should NOT happen: First, see an ophthalmologist and get this addressed. Your new glasses may have been designed improperly, but you may be experiencing changes in health, such as diabetes, or glaucoma, or cataracts. Get this addressed ASAP.
