Progressive lenses
I just got my progressive lenses. Its been 2 days. I feel dizzy and uncomfortable. The optician said it would take a few days to get adjusted! Does it take 2 weeks to get adjusted?
Also the height of the lens is 44 mm. I have a large face hence a large frame.
Please advise.

Look at progressive lenses like buying a new pair of shoes, a bit of adjusting is required, how long depends on each person. I could explain better if you were in front of me in person, showing you how to use your glasses. For now, I can only advise this : For initial few weeks, use out only while working on computer or reading. Then wear out for some time and walk around the house, only at home, to get used to the feeling of it, use your old single vision distance glasses for driving and outdoors, then once you’re comfortable indoors you can start wearing progressives all the time
Any further queries can only be handled by in person appointment.
