A member asked:
Is there a problem with my new & first prescription eyeglasses if it gets a little distorted when i look right or left? they said it was astigmatism

Adjustment period!: Any new prescription often requires a week or so to get used to it. If after that time you are not happy with your glasses, go back to the place they were made and tell them to correct it, if that is possible.
