What happens if I don't adapt to progressive lenses?
If you feel like you can't quite adapt to your progressive glasses, it doesn't always mean the lens isn't for you. Sometimes the prescription, the frame adjustment, or how the lenses are positioned can influence this. When this happens, it's a good idea to have them checked in-store.
Problems adapting to progressive lenses
Initially, it may be normal to notice a different sensation when reading, walking, or changing focus between distances. But if after a few days you are still uncomfortable or find it difficult to use your glasses normally, it is advisable to have them checked. Sometimes, the prescription, the lens, the frame adjustment, or the position of the glasses in front of your eyes can influence this.
