A member asked:
Is it normal to feel disoriented after getting new glasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Commonly: The eyeglass edges induce a little distortion and this is also true with bifocals and so you have to relearn to orient yourself inclduing things like going down stairs and curbs. This is a rapid adaptation process that usually takes a couple of days.
