How to Adjust to New Glasses
It’s exciting to start fresh with a new pair of glasses, but there may be an adjustment period before they’re completely comfortable. Whether you’re just trying to get used to a new pair or to wearing glasses in general, you may experience some temporary issues.

Tips for Adjusting to New Glasses

Put On Glasses First Thing
Wearing your glasses first thing in the morning will give your eyes a better chance at adjusting. They won’t have time to get used to your vision without them.
Increase Wear Time
Try to wear your new glasses for as long as possible so that your eyes can get used to them. If it’s too uncomfortable, you can start with a few hours a day and gradually increase the wearing periods. Within a few days, you should be able to wear them comfortably all day.


Clean Glasses Regularly
Any smudges or marks on your lenses can blur your vision. Make sure to clean your glasses with a microfiber cloth, lotion-free dish soap, and water.
How Long Does it Take to Get Used to New Glasses?
The fastest way to adjust to your new glasses is to continuously wear them. Avoid switching back and forth between your old glasses since that will just confuse your eyes more.
Can New Glasses Make You Dizzy?
Your vision may be blurry with new lenses, but don’t panic. This doesn’t necessarily mean that your prescription is wrong, you may just need some time to get used to your glasses. Your eyes and brain are working together to focus through the new lenses. Distorted vision can cause dizziness and headaches, so these could also be symptoms of adjusting to new glasses.
How Do I Know if My Prescription is Wrong?
The adjustment period for new glasses can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks with the problems typically resolving themselves. However, if you’re suffering from blurred vision, eye strain, or headaches for more than a few days, contact your eye doctor. They can reevaluate your eyes and prescription, as well as the lenses and fit of the frames to ensure that nothing needs adjusted.
