augh, my eyes!

I hate these glasses. It's the second day with my bifocals (progressive). I'm starting to get used to seeing with them*, but I'm also starting to feel headachey, which is exactly what I was hoping to avoid by getting new glasses. Also, I can't get them adjusted right. This morning, they were too tight over my ears. I could feel the blood rushing back into the skin, when I took them off. I went back for an adjustment, and now they just sit heavy on my head.

Not happy.

* I think that means I'm okay with the blurry parts.

A first pair of bifocals can be very trying. I hope things get better for you.

Today's much like yesterday, but it may take a couple of weeks for me to adjust.

Getting new prescription lenses and/or frames is almost always traumatic for me, so I do understand. Sometimes you have to just keep returning for adjustments until they finally get it right, while you also get used to the new prescription. It's a real pain! With progressives it's mostly a matter of learning to move your head more than your eyes to see through the smaller "viewable" part of the lens. At some point you just do it automatically without thinking about it any more. It *will* happen - and I hope for your sake it does sooner rather than later.

I'm getting to the point of ignoring the fact that some things are blurry.

Today, I'm having more trouble with the frames. I had the guy adjust them, but they're still not right, and I don't know how to tell him what's wrong. They're just heavy on my face, and keep slowly sliding down.

What a literal pain.

Not gonna happen, I don't think.

I know exactly what you are going through. Hope your adjustment period is short.

Me too! But I'm not going to hold my breath. :-)
