Adapting to New Eyewear

Whether you're new to wearing glasses or you've recently replaced them, it takes time for your eyes and brain to adjust to the changes in your vision. So, how can you make this period of discomfort more manageable? Today, we'll share practical tips to help you adjust to your new glasses and enjoy clear and comfortable vision.

What are the common discomfort symptoms?

When you first put on your new glasses, you'll experience a clearer view because your vision issues have been corrected. However, as you start moving around, you may encounter some discomfort such as blurred vision, changes in depth perception, and distorted vision. These symptoms can sometimes be accompanied by dizziness, vertigo, or headaches. These effects occur because your new glasses may have different corrections and features that affect your vision in a new way.

It's important to note that these symptoms usually diminish or disappear during the adjustment period. If you experience persistent discomfort or visual problems, it's advisable to consult a professional to ensure that your glasses are suitable for your needs and to make any necessary adjustments.

Tips for adapting to new glasses

The length of the adjustment period varies from person to person, and there's no set answer. For most people, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Fortunately, you can employ the following tips to help alleviate discomfort: 

• Wear and adjust your glasses correctly:

Ensure that your glasses are properly positioned and not tilted or crooked. Check the fit of the frames as well. Loose frames may cause your glasses to slip off, while tight nosepieces or temples can lead to headaches or discomfort. If you find that the frames don't fit your face or are uncomfortable, consider replacing or adjusting them.

NextPairs are designed with curved temples, to hug your head naturally according to Asian ergonomics, guaranteeing a more comfortable day. In addition, each nose pad is raised 12-13mm to ensure that your glasses won't keep sliding down your nose.

• Gradually increase the wearing time:

Give yourself plenty of time to get used to your new glasses and avoid rushing. Start by wearing your glasses for shorter periods and gradually increase the wearing time. This will help your eyes gradually adjust to the new prescription and lens design, reducing the likelihood of discomfort and glare.

NextPair uses an aspheric design on all of its lenses, which aligns with Asian vision needs and allows for a shorter adaptation time.

• Avoid strenuous activities:

During the adjustment period, try to avoid strenuous activities, especially sports that involve rapid movements or changes in viewing angles. Engaging in such activities may exacerbate feelings of dizziness or vertigo.

• Rest your eyes:

Provide adequate rest for your eyes and avoid prolonged use of electronic devices or engaging in close work. Taking breaks to look into the distance or closing your eyes for a few minutes at regular intervals can help relieve eye strain and discomfort.

Summary

Adjusting to new glasses is a gradual process that takes time and patience. However, if you experience continued discomfort or problems during the adjustment process, NextPair offers free returns within 15 days of receipt. This means that whether you have a prescription problem or the frames don't fit your style, you can return them without any hassle.
