Feeling squinty
Well, getting used to new glasses is always fun, isn't it? Especially when one already has a sinus headache that goes with a head cold! It really does make one feel quite wierd.
Last night the eyes gave me quite a bit of trouble. I had to get off the computer, because one eye stayed dilated while the other one adjusted back to normal. That was just too odd, and looking at a bright screen didn't help! That's better today, but the adjustment to the glasses themselves continues.
One problem is, I didn't get the photogrey tinting I usually have with my glasses -- which I actually need, because I am sensitive to sunlight and flourescent light. Not sure how that got missed in the makeup of the glasses, but it did. Drat. I shall have to take them back and get that added in. But that shouldn't be a problem; hopefully I won't have to wait more than an hour for it again.
The other thing is this weird feeling at times that things are tilted. My right eye seems to be giving me the illusion that one side of a thing is higher than the other. It has always bugged me if something is uneven, so you can imagine my irritation with feeling like the stove is not level -- especially when it is! I don't think this is a problem with the glasses, though. I think it's my eye getting used to the way my glasses should be. The doctor told me that my last pair were slightly askew in the trifocal part, so that no doubt trained my eye improperly.
Other than that, they seem to be right, as far as ease of reading and seeing goes. :-)
I was going to try to give it another day, to see if the crooked eye thing settles, before I go in to get the lenses tinted, but maybe I'll just go do it today, in case I have to wait more than a day and have to wear my old glasses for a bit. No use getting used to the new ones and then having to go back again to the old!
