Can't get used to glasses
I have got my glasses more than six weeks back. My prescription is -1.25 cyl Right eye and -1.5 cyl Left eye. Both with 180 degree axis and no spherical power. But my right eye still hurts a lot. After three weeks of pain, I revisited my doctor and got my prescription re-verified. It been six weeks now, and although my vision has improved, I don't feel dizzy anymore, and the pain has reduced to some extent, its still there. The pain is not unbearable anymore, but its still pretty annoying. Should I just wait for it to go away or should I do something about it? My doctor suggested that it may be useful to under-correct which I don't like because my vision will be blurred. Thanks a lot.

Get used to astigmatism correction may take time.
Wait for another month for the symptoms to subside. It looks like your eyes are in the process of adjusting to the new glasses as your symptoms have reduced over time.

Hello.... So your not using undercorrected spectacles... See that's the problem if you use undercorrected glasses you won't be having all these problem.. It takes months to adjust to the present one... Go according to doctors suggestion use undercorrected glasses...or else wait for some more weeks to get adjust to present one.
