Eye exam in august, got new glasses a week ago with new prescription. couldn't see well new glasses, rechecked eyes, eyes got worse, what's wrong?

New glasses: Sometimes the exam is not right the first time. It is important at your age to have a dilated exam to get an exact prescription for your glasses. If this is not done you can have different eyeglass readings depending on how tired your eyes are and other problems. It is unusual for eyes to change on their own that much in a few months,
