I feel dizzy after changing glasses

Nowadays, more and more people wear glasses, especially students. Even primary school students have started to wear glasses. This is mainly because there are too many electronic products nowadays and children overuse their eyes, which causes damage to their eyeballs before they are fully developed, leading to myopia. Many primary school students need to change their glasses every year, but they report that they often feel dizzy when changing glasses. Why is this? Let’s learn about it together~

People who wear glasses for a long time will have this feeling. I got a new pair of glasses and felt dizzy when I put them on. Once you get used to wearing your new glasses, you will feel dizzy when you wear your old glasses again!

Reason 1: Unprofessional optometry and glasses fitting

This may be caused by unqualified glasses or inaccurate eyesight! Simple computer optometry cannot accurately calculate the degree of myopia and other conditions. When fitting glasses for myopia, it is not just a simple check of myopia and astigmatism, but also a number of professional checks such as checking for eye diseases, binocular vision balance, single vision ability, discrimination of the dominant eye, pupil distance, etc. Formal and professional medical optometry is a rigorous and complex process, and glasses must be fitted based on the comprehensive functions of the human eye. When fitting glasses, parameters such as vertex power, pupil distance, and cylindrical axis position must meet the standards, otherwise it will directly affect the effect of correcting vision, causing visual fatigue in users, thereby aggravating vision loss.

Reason 2: Old glasses "transform" your eyes

It is possible that the lenses of old glasses will turn yellow and get scratched due to absorption of ultraviolet rays, contact with grease, dry rubbing, etc. during use, and the clarity will naturally be affected. The old glasses "transform" the eyes in the long run, and the eyes also adapt to the old glasses. Therefore, even if the new glasses have the same degree as the old glasses, the new lenses will appear brighter. Comparing the two will cause uncomfortable symptoms.

It is recommended to use the new glasses early the next morning. After a night's rest, your eyes will be more easily adapted to the new glasses. After wearing it for a few days, the dizziness symptoms will disappear.

Reason 3: Different styles of glasses

There is another situation. Because the styles of the new glasses and the old glasses are different (half-frame, frameless, full-frame) and the angles of the glasses are also different, it will cause visual differences and symptoms of dizziness after wearing the new glasses. After a short period of adaptation, you should be able to return to normal.
