A member asked:
I've had a new prescription for eyeglasses for 5 days and have an annoying headache behind the weaker eye. is this common and when will i adjust?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About a week. : It can sometimes take a bit to acclimate to the glasses depending in how different the prescription is from the old glasses. I'd give it at least a week before contacting the eye doctor who prescribed the glasses.
