When to Wait-and When to Contact Us About Your Glasses

Ordering new glasses can sometimes come with questions-especially in the first few days of wear. Not every strange feeling means something is wrong-but some signs are worth checking. Here’s how to tell the difference.

When It’s Normal to Wait

Some changes take time for your eyes and brain to adjust. This is especially common if:

  • Your prescription has changed
  • You’ve upgraded lens types
  • You’re wearing glasses more consistently than before

It’s normal to notice:

  • Mild eye tiredness
  • Depth feeling slightly different
  • Vision feeling clearer but unfamiliar

For most people, these sensations settle within a few days to up to two weeks even with constant wear.

When You Should Get in Touch

It’s always okay to ask-but you should contact us if:

  • Discomfort hasn’t improved after two weeks
  • Vision feels consistently blurry or strained
  • Headaches persist or worsen
  • Something feels clearly “off” rather than unfamiliar

We’d always rather double-check than have you struggle.

Why Giving It Time Helps

Switching back and forth between old and new glasses can slow adjustment. Wearing your new pair consistently gives your eyes the best chance to settle naturally.

Never Hesitate to Reach Out

Getting in touch doesn’t mean something has gone wrong. It simply means you want reassurance-and that’s exactly what we’re here for.

Clear, comfortable vision should feel natural. If it doesn’t, we’ll help you figure out why.
