I found that things moved.

Maybe they're too strong for you?

Maybe...but then what are those damn tests for?

could be your glasses aint fitted right. I know when i used to wear glasses as a kid, the nose pads and the bit that rests above the ear, if they were putting preasure or to tight on my head, id get headaches from it.

It could be that or it could be your eyes aint used to it and it will probabily take a while to readjust. I suggest you give it a few days, maybe play with the ear/nose bits and if its still causing you headaches go back to your optitions.

my glasses gave me a headache for about a month after I first got them, just because I would only wear them in class. Once you wear them around a bit though, you should get used to them and eventually you'll realize that it's not giving you a headache anymore.

my dad's an opthalmologist...

keep them...
if you're still getting headaches after about 4-5 days tell your optician...
it happens when your number changes...
or when you get new glasses...
or... yeh...

I always feel uncomfortable when I get a new prescription - it takes 2 or 3 days to get used to them and then all is fine :smile:

It might be that too, you're right as I've had problems with sunglasses sometimes but mainly with the arms. I got some sunglasses adjusted a bit too tightly behind my ears and whenever I put them on, I keep moving them around.

But I'll trust heminder's Dad with his advice when it comes to my eyes.

They feel like that at first, you'll get used to it. :smile:

You'll probably swap to contact lenses anyway (most people do).

You'll never beat my high school English teacher. I believe she cultivated looking like a prepubescent boy.

Actually, I just don't think anyone could come as close as this woman in appearing like Harry Potter, including you. It was a rare optimistic moment from me. Don't squander it.
