My new prescription glasses are blurry

That's frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some possible reasons why your new prescription glasses might be blurry:

  1. Incorrect prescription: It's possible that the prescription was not filled correctly or that there was an error in the lens measurement. Check the prescription label to ensure it matches your original prescription.
  2. Lens material or type: The type of lens material or coating used might not be suitable for your prescription or visual needs. For example, if you have a high prescription, you might need a more advanced lens material like high-index or aspheric lenses.
  3. Lens thickness: If the lenses are too thick or too thin, it can affect the clarity of your vision. Thicker lenses can cause distortion, while thinner lenses might not provide enough correction.
  4. Frame alignment: Make sure the frames are properly aligned on your face. If the frames are crooked or not centered, it can affect the alignment of the lenses, leading to blurry vision.
  5. Lens orientation: If the lenses are not oriented correctly, it can cause blurry vision. Check that the lenses are facing the correct direction and that the frames are not twisted or turned.
  6. Scratches or imperfections: Minor scratches or imperfections on the lenses can cause blurry vision. Inspect the lenses carefully for any signs of damage.
  7. Adjustment period: It's possible that your eyes need some time to adjust to the new prescription. Give your eyes a few days to adjust, and see if the blurry vision improves.

What to do next:

  1. Contact your optician: Reach out to the optician who filled your prescription and explain the issue. They may be able to adjust the lenses or provide a new pair with the correct prescription.
  2. Schedule a follow-up appointment: If you're still experiencing blurry vision after trying the above steps, schedule a follow-up appointment with your eye doctor to rule out any underlying issues with your eyes.
  3. Consider a lens upgrade: If you're still experiencing blurry vision after trying the above steps, you might want to consider upgrading to a more advanced lens material or technology, such as progressive lenses or photochromic lenses.

Remember to always handle your glasses with care, and avoid touching the lenses to prevent scratches or damage.
