A member asked:
What causes your world to look off when you first start wearing glasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glasses distortion: Your brain is used to seeing images a certain way (either without glasses or with old glasses). When new glasses are worn or the prescription is changed, the brain has to adapt to this change. This generally takes 1-2 weeks of wear to successfully adapt to this.
