headaches

[stylinsam]

hi guys . i am suppose to wear my glasses whilst watching the tv and if im honest i dont . but i have started too now but the thing is when i wear them they give me a terrible headache, iv been to the opticians and these are the right strength for me as any less it would be like wearing no glasses anyway!

anyone got any ideas why i keep getting these headaches ! if my optician says my glasses are the right strength what do i do!

Hello, I think if your not wearing them as much as you should be then your eyes haven't got used to them. When I first got my gogs i felt dizzy and abit sick but it went away after I'd worn them a few times. If it persists though i'd mention it to your optitian it could be something else.

I agree with Lan ~ your eyes aren't getting used to them because of infrequent use. I am sure if you wore them regularly this will stop..however as Lan also says, if you find it persists even after longer term use a trip to the Optician or maybe your doctor may be for the best.

My daughter wears contact lenses. If she changes them to her specs she has similar symptoms, even though the prescription is the same! she also gets this when she changes her contacts to a new batch.

i'm exactly the same sam!! i never used to wear my glasses when i should have done. recently though i have had to wear them as i have found that i need them but they give me a headache. it is because i'm not used to them and need to keep wearing them so my eyes adjust (well thats what my optician says anyway!!)
just persevere i'm sure it'll get better hun xXx
