You should go back to your eye doctor and have them check your glasses to be certain the prescription ordered is what you have. The eye doctor can also re-check your eyes and make sure the prescription doesn’t need to be changed. If everything checks out, it may take a little longer for you to get used to the glasses. Best of luck to you!!

Try using glasses short periods and gradually increase use. Not uncommon difficulty adjusting to this type of correction. Give it a try.

In severe cases of astigmatism contact lenses or laser eye surgery may be needed to correct vision.
