New glasses making my life miserable

    Hi there, I am 23 and i have been wearing glasses all my life, I have never had this current problem i am having. I went to get an eye exam and ordered new lenses with my new perscription which was pretty much exactly the same except the axis in my right eye had changed 5 degrees. I went to pick up my glasses and my left eye is fine but my right eye oh boy... it is just horrible. very blurry and it causes me to get dizzy and disoriented. The optician told me to schedule another appointment with the doctor, so i left the glasses there and continued to wear my old ones. I finally go back yesterday to see the doctor and the optician says she wants to check the lenses against my old ones to rule out a problem with the lenses before i see the doctor. she looks at them and tells my that my old glasses the PD was very close to my nose, and the new ones it is in the dead center where it should be so my eyes are not used to it and need to adjust, and then she handed them to me and said wear them, youll get used to it. what makes me question this is, if I look out of the side of my lense towards my ear, it is perfectly clear, straight ahead and towards my nose it is blurrier and blurrier. If i tilt my head to the left it becomes clearer. I had this happen with the lenses before these at a different eye place, it was blurrry in my right eye, I went back in with the doctor and adjusted the perscription and then the lenses were fine, but this place hand cut the lenses and i dont know if the optician changed the PD on the second time around with out telling me and put it back towards my nose. I just dont know if it is the axis or the PD like the optician is telling me, I called and said that I could see clearly out of the side of my glasses oppisite of where i am used to having the PD, and her exact words to me were "huh, thats weird, I dont know why that is" so they are having me wear them for a few days to see if i adjust to it and if not they want to give me new lenses where my old PD and the new one is slip in half, but once again, i dont know if they are correct and I am just freaking out because I can t see well for right now or if it is the axis. so, opinions please, Axis, or is the optician correct

    I had a similar experience once some years ago. I knew something was wrong immediately with the prescription and when i said it in the opticians they told me to wear them a few days so that i could "adjust" to the new prescription.
    In the end they discovered they had written the prescription wrong and had to make new glasses for me.
    Basically if they don't feel right, then there is deffo something wrong with the prescription or the lens. Go back again and insist they check your eyes and the prescription again.
