Headaches: With new glasses more than two weeks should allow a postive changeto adapting. Anything longer needs further evaluation if the new glasses are correct.

Check the glasses: Before you ignore the headaches, you might want to check with whoever made the glasses to be sure they were made correctly, and if so, with the doctor to be sure the prescription is correct.
