You've just picked up those awesome new glasses you were so excited about, but your world is looking, erm, strange! What happens now depends on a huge range of factors, and your optician can help get you on the right track! but here are some of the more common issues with prescription and what we find. Learn a little about what goes on in the eye and brain for adapting to new glasses and why sometimes, it just takes time, but that isn't always what's needed. It should also be noted, as I didn't mention in the video, sometimes these feelings can be experienced even with the same prescription just in a new frame style! 🤯

Great content and information. Merry Christmas from the UK 🎅🎄🇬🇧

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Thanks! Merry Christmas!!!!

[@jewelleryaddict]

Been wearing glasses since grade school could never see blackboard. Even tho major in Health Ed and Psychology no one ever expained the job the brain must do to help the eyes focus with glasses. Thanks I get it now. Having first time trouble focusing one eye with new glasses. Will give it time before throwing my rage at the eye doc.

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Good luck! Be nice to the doc though 😂😂. Unfortunately they’re at a bit of mercy of what our brains and eyes WANT to see and the objective can only take vision so far sometimes 😎. Niceness always leads to the best result in the end 😁👍

[@otiebrown9999]

I am curious. Are you an Optometrist? Or an optician?

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Optician 🥂

[@WormwoodX]

Thanks for the information. Just got my first pair of glasses at 35 years old. Trying to understand why everything feels weird. Makes sense.

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Gotta love our brains 🤣 good luck with your new world! You found a great channel to start the journey with!!! 🙂 hope you stick around awhile, and thanks for watching!! 😁

[@m____w____6981]

The prescription is often not the problem. The problem is frequently the lens cutters and fitters. Lens are bent or incorrectly cut. Purchase two pairs of glasses with the same prescription but different frames, guaranteed one will have issues.

[@otiebrown9999]

You are correct. Me also. Nice trial lens set. I check myself. I also check my Snellen. When I make the measurements I am very accurate!!

[@amandawallace105]

Omg , my new glasses feels like they have a glare . I see fine if I put my hands around the side of my glasses (blocking my side vision). Is this normal on Day 2 of new glasses. My prescription got stronger for distance and I have a astigmatism.

[@StarDemz]

Unfortuanly I don't have a natrual lense in my eyes would this still be why one side is blury when it's being up plus?

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Very likely. With no lens inside the eye you're gonna have extraordinary plus power in your glasses lens (+14 or greater). Not only are the optics not great through these kinds of lenses peripherally but central acuity usually isn't anything spectacular either. This is really just a case of the nature of the natural limits at play

[@WhiteWith2DreamyEyes]

I've never had or needed glasses 🤩👁👁! I love my eyes🤎👁👁! Just saying hello! Hoping you don't mind me being here. I'm all eyes! _👁👁_

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

❤👁❤

[@kenzgitz9884]

Will it look extra weird if you only have cylinder and axis in one lense even if it's a low power like -.75? This is my first pair of glasses and they also have prisms in both lenses.

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Not significantly so, my personal rx is spherical in one eye and 0.50 cyl in the other 🙂

[@wiZZelify]

Ais it possible to se as an astigmatism person even you have glasses(first week glasses for astigmatism)?

[@JRock-vf4fw]

Can you make another video without the mask? Have a hard time understanding. Your information is very informative. I have a hearing loss😢. Sorry

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

I actually already have! Here you go!! Understanding New Glasses Prescription Changes: What to Expect & How to Adjust, or Should You Update kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpe0m3tml798osU Much of the same topics and in some ways a deeper dive on the subject :)

[@JRock-vf4fw]

@@ThatGlassesGuy03 Thank you so much!!

[@ms_taree7335]

Interesting. I wonder if my doctor went light on this pair since its the first progressive trifocal.... I needed them so badly it was actually giving me dry eye to live in my single vision old pair. Now I have to watch your "Progressive Glasses For the Computer" video....

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

It makes such a huge difference to get into them when needed 😁. Not likely they backed things off much, if at all for a first time add 🙂. But, it's all very subjective and everyone has their own refractive choices to make too. Retracting is definitely as much art as science 🤣❤

[@Claradennis]

I just got new glasses after 4years and I can't drive in my new glasses nor see far. I can't stand it. I have to wear my old glasses to drive

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

You’re not gonna like me in a minute 🥶😂What To Expect When You're Expecting Your First Glasses! It's A Brave Bold Sharp New World! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX-Qp2V8fr-Jbrc This video has more detail, but hyperopic changes this is extremely common. Of course it’s always worth chatting with your doctor or optician to ensure your rx is indeed correct, but after four years and a shift to more plus power this is just the way it works. That goes away in time. I would venture your arms length and closer vision is significantly improved though ;)

[@bethangibby4857]

This is so interesting

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Glad you like the video! Thanks!

[@Tiger24kicks]

My head is hurting the doctor used that stuff you was showing. My lens are super thick and it's polarized and I'm having depth issues.

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

throwing this comment in with your original I HIGHLY suspect a mismatch of frame to wearer + RX creating a whoel host of problems. High powers in particular in more wrapped frames require much more fitting knowledge than average, and you can't just measure and plug in the numbers to get a good result.

[@Tiger24kicks]

@@ThatGlassesGuy03 I ended up doing another eye exam

🙌😂 clearly my brain couldn't say hey this is good. 😂

[@TheDisabledGamersChannel]

@@ThatGlassesGuy03 LOL, i love that you left that in tho, a bit of humor with info is a great mix.

[@nickpowell7432]

I just got a new prescription from a new doctor. And my left eye jumped from a -1.75 to a -3.25 and I just picked the glasses up today and I really think maybe there was a typo or an error usually every couple years I go -.25. In each eye. This year, my right eye stay the same in the left head that massive jump and I’m having trouble seeing up close in the left eye. do you think it was a mistake

[@nickpowell7432]

Focusing is really weird and even just looking at my computer it’s really difficult

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Sounds like you’re on the edge of needing a progressive more than anything. Where the extra minus would show its benefit is far distances. Walk outside. See how the world looks. This is a great conversation to have with your prescribing doctor though, as it could be the rx is overpowered as well. Lots of variables here.

[@nickpowell7432]

@@ThatGlassesGuy03 yeah I’m definitely gonna talk to him. It’s like focusing is really weird. If I close one eye it’s blurry for a second and then gets clear it’s that way with both eyes. Things look a tiny bit smaller with the left eye. And it’s hard to get both eyes to focus on something far away.

[@KhalilC94]

I wear glasses for 20 years now. So I'm familiar with them. Lately i saw the doctor, and i changed glasses and frame because of astigmatism. After, vision was blurry. So i went to another doctor and results were the same. He said that glasses are also good. And he didn't understand why i can't see clearly. Two weeks now, and still blurry. Don't know what to do.

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Tough to say with this little info. The starting point for them to problem solve would be using the original pair before the new rx that is giving you trouble (assuming the old glasses were clear to you). It could also be something going on with the eyes themselves limiting vision, but I’m assuming not the case based on the way this is worded and assuming the glasses before your new exams were indeed clear to you.

[@gamerkid1341]

@ThatGlassesGuy03 I'm having the same problem to, my old glasses are clear and I'm able to see out of them but with my new ones everything is all blurry and zoomed in and makes it harder for me to see out of, even reading is hard.

[@ReaIIyRichRecords]

Me I always play my game on my phone and PS4 but I get glasses will it's blurry playing the game 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤦‍♀️😤😤

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Oooph! How close is your monitor/screen? 🤔

[@Bass.Player]

Why are you wearing a mask?

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Because it’s fun and fashionable. Didn’t you get the memo? Get with the times man!

[@rebekahbrown4052]

Why are you wearing a mask while videotaping

[@ThatGlassesGuy03]

Because it’s fun. Obviously.
