In any case here is some stuff I know about wearing glasses Vision with

glasses is rarely absolutely perfect--and the stronger the lenses the more

distortion there will be regardless of whether the position of the glasses on

the face changes. And when the position of the glasses changes for any

reason, there will be a change in vision (more so again with very strong

lenses).

If you are new to wearing glasses this may be hard to get used to. That

however s not something that I can speak to since I've worn glasses portions

I have also been wearing glasses since I was a child. But the MCS has made me

sensitive to the slightest variation in the actual grinding of the lenses. If

the measurements are off by a tiny tiny amount I get nauseous, the muscles in my

eyes seem to pull and my eyes burn. The problem is no one else is this sensitive

so my eye doctor (Whom I love and cares alot about my problem) can't really get

the lenses shop to understand that I need PERFECTION. It's ridiculous how many

times he's had to tell me they can't do better than this, sorry, but I guess

these glasses are not going to work for you.

What am I going to do? I am half blind without glasses, it;s not like I can go

about my day not wearing them all the time like some people can.

Thanks for you help, Surella

just need the info.

I wore glasses since a child too & sympathize w distortion issues. I get a bit

dizzy w a new rx. Looks like floors, steps are higher until getting used to

them.

Maybe you should try contacts. I loved mine, only quit to help our budget. Had

the soft disposables.  For those of us older they make bifocal lenses. 

What kind of solution was gentle for you? Last one I used was OptiFree.

I should a try again. I'm reacting to metal frames & don't care for some of the

plastic styles. There's more distortion w thinner lenses & strong rx.
