New glasses have distortion...is this normal?!
Question: New glasses have distortion!.!.!.is this normal!?
I just updated the prescription for my glasses to match that of my contacts!. My contacts are fine, but I am not happy with my new glasses!.
When looking dead center, straight ahead, they are OK!. However, as I move my eyes to the side, distortion becomes apparent!. Edges of objects have purple/blue/red edges!. When I look straight out a window, everything is fine!. If I move my eyes toward the side, the windowpane becomes bowed like this ) !. I look directly at it, and it straightens out!. This often makes me dizzy!.
My other glasses never had this problem, should I go in and have them looked at!? Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Sounds like you may have progressive lenses or a high minus Rx!. Whichever the case, some distortionn will be apparent in a high minus and a lot of distortion will be apparent in a progressive lens!. If they are progressives, you have to get used to turning your head tolookl at things!. If they are a high minus you may want to have them checked by another optician or eye dr!. to make sure there is nothing wrong with your lenses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
