Will My Eyes Adjust To Glasses With Only Small Periods Of Wear?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I just got my first pair of glasses in 7 or so years and my first pair of glasses with a lens for astigmatism (yes, one – I only have it in one eye).
I put them on and the world is a bit warped. I found that this is due to the astigmatism. When I do wear them, I feel dizzy and my eyed feel a bit strained, although I can see better than I do with contacts in.
What I’m wondering is if this strain will get better with time even though these glasses aren’t full-time for me. I put them on after my shower and I’m usually up for five or six hours following that shower.
Last question is when I do adjust to my glasses, will my contacts be fine still, or will I have to pick one and stick with it? Although I like the clarity of the glasses, I’m a photographer and I really don’t want that lens getting in my way when I’m taking photos.
Your doctor should know about this.
Glass lenses do change the size and shape of things you look at.
The position of the lens in front of the eye makes a difference. It doesn’t matter how often you put them on or take them off.
Think of the prescription as being correct for the time being.
