Years ago mum picked up new glasses and found they were awful. The optometrist had told her they were a bit stronger and she'd get used to them, but she never did. She wore them for 5 years, getting headaches and all, thinking that she just had to bear it. Then, after 5 years she saw a different optometrist who said that script was totally wrong for her and prescribed new ones that were much better! Don't wait 5 years hun, take them back!!
I got a new script a while ago and the optometrist actually said if I didn't get used to them in a couple of weeks, he'd change the lenses for me for free.
Yep. Got new glasses, then got terrible headaches. I took them back to a different place in the same company (closer to work rather than home this time) and they re-checked my eyes and found that the prescription I was given was totally wrong (bifocal lenses when I really only needed single vision ones!). There were no problems at all in getting them fixed up.
Definitely go back - it's not worth screwing around with headaches and not feeling/seeing right. And I've also been reminded that I'm seriously overdue for an eye test!
My DH got prescription safety glasses made, and they just made him feel dizzy. He took them back and they checked them out and said that the focal point was incorrect. They remade the glasses and still he had trouble with them. He took them back again, and there were no problems. They suggested he have a full refund as they couldn't quite get it right for him. They were very willing to help and never made him feel bad.
My aunty took hers back after 2 months & found out they had given her the wrong prescription. But they charged her for new lenses & the eye test. I think it was a small shop though that she had been going to since she was a teenager
