A member asked:

How long is the average time period you experience dizziness and off balance when first time getting new glasses?

Dr. Ilene Ruhoy answered

Specializes in Neurology

Not long: Dizziness and off balance should not be experienced for long after new glasses. Either something else is going on or the corrective prescriptive is incorrect.
