[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2054060, member: 487111"] Thanks. :) I read some similar advice online last night on various websites. I just don't know that I want to give myself headaches as well as nausea for a week. I need my eyes too much, for reading, for computer, for TV, and this morning when I tried the new ones again I realized I was closing my eyes every moment that I did not actually need to see something, like the stove controls (for boiling water) and stabbing my finger and reading the number on the meter. It was like my eyes weren't able to deal with what they were seeing so they just closed. The optician also said to give the new glasses a week, but they also took three weeks to even make them. Never before had I known glasses to take so long to be made or been told to give them a week. It's almost like their attitude is "Don't bite the gift horse." All I have on my schedule for today is watching the Preakness this afternoon, so maybe I will give them another try -- if I can keep my eyes open 'til then! How on earth did you ever manage feeling nauseated and unable to see for two whole weeks? And yes, these are bifocals, just as I said. Lines and all. [/QUOTE]
