Whether you’ve worn glasses for years or are trying them on for the first time, it's completely normal to go through an adjustment period with your new prescription. This can take up to two weeks as your eyes get used to the changes. But don’t worry — if your prescription was carefully tailored by your optometrist and your frames are properly fitted, your vision should settle in just fine. Here are some helpful tips to make the transition smoother.
Â
Get Fitted Properly
Your vision will likely feel sharper right away, but you might feel a bit off at first. Common experiences include seeing things too clearly, noticing some peripheral distortion, or even having mild headaches. These symptoms usually go away within a few days. However, if they persist beyond a week, it’s a good idea to visit your optometrist for a check-up or have your frames adjusted by an optician. This is especially common if it’s your first pair of glasses or if you've been using the same prescription for a long time. Remember, proper fitting is key — measurements like pupillary distance (PD) and vertical height (OC or SEG) ensure your lenses work their best.
Â
Take Your Time
Give yourself time to adjust by wearing your new glasses only when you're sitting still. Activities like watching TV, reading, or working on a computer are great for getting used to your new lenses. On the other hand, driving, running, or walking may feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you’re not used to wearing glasses regularly or if your prescription has changed. It’s best to avoid these activities until you feel more comfortable.
Â
Be Mindful of Your Frames
Wearing glasses is more than just a practical choice — it’s a lifestyle change. Make sure to clean your lenses regularly and avoid sleeping in your frames. A gentle cleaning routine will keep your vision clear and your David Kind eyewear in top condition. Also, always remove your glasses with both hands to maintain their shape and fit. We’ve created a detailed guide on how to care for your eyewear — you can find it here.
Â
Expect Some Changes
Some people worry that wearing glasses frequently will make them dependent on them, but this isn't true. Your eyes aren’t becoming reliant on your prescription — rather, you're simply getting used to clearer vision. Give yourself time to adjust and wear your glasses consistently to get the most out of them. Also, avoid switching between old and new prescriptions, as this can confuse your brain and slow down the adaptation process. Stick with your new pair for a while to help your eyes adjust smoothly.
