Whether you’ve worn glasses for years or this is your 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 properly tailored by your optometrist and your frames are fitted correctly, your eyes will eventually adapt. Here are some tips to help you smoothly transition into your new pair of glasses.
Get Fitted Properly
Once you put on your new glasses, your vision should improve significantly. However, it’s common to feel a bit off at first. You might notice things are sharper than before, experience some peripheral distortion, or even have mild headaches. These symptoms usually fade within a few days, but if they persist for more than a week, it’s a good idea to revisit your doctor for a check-up or consult an optician to adjust your frames. This is especially true if it’s your first pair or you’ve been using the same prescription for many years. Keep in mind that proper fitting is crucial — measurements like pupillary distance (PD) and vertical height (OC or SEG) ensure your lenses work optimally.
Take Your Time
Give yourself time to adjust by wearing your glasses only when you're not moving around much. Activities like watching TV, reading, or working on a computer are great for getting used to your new lenses. Avoid driving, running, or walking until you feel comfortable. If your prescription has changed significantly, these activities may feel awkward at first. It's better to take it slow and avoid any unnecessary strain on your eyes during this transition period.
Be Mindful of Your Frames
Wearing glasses is part of a lifestyle change. Make sure to clean them regularly and avoid sleeping in them. Gently wiping your lenses and frames helps maintain clear vision and keeps your David Kind eyewear in great condition. Also, always remove your glasses with both hands to prevent misalignment.

Expect Some Changes
Some people worry that wearing glasses too often will make them dependent. But that’s not true! Your eyes aren’t becoming reliant on your prescription — rather, you’re just getting used to seeing more clearly. 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 delay the adjustment process. Stick with one pair until you're fully comfortable.
