How long will it take for me to get used to my new glasses (astigmatism)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies : It takes some time to get used to glasses when you have astigmatism, and it depends on your prescription and individual situation it takes longer if you are wearing glasses for the first time, and there may be other factors like going from contact lenses to glasses and change of frame from large frame to small frame.
