[QUOTE="RoseofSharon, post: 1098293, member: 272945"] As others have said waiting is the best thing to do. However shortly after my diagnosis I had my yearly contact lens check up and my optician changed my prescription slightly, but I only just received the new prescription lens earlier this month, and have found that they take longer than my previous prescription to settle first thing in the morning, so yeah wait as long as you can. Also remember that free eye tests restrict how many you can have in a set amount of time, therefore if unless you have money to burn and can pay for multiple eye tests and glasses you need to let your eyes settle. As an emergency measure some opticians do frames and lens sets as low as £20 but at a push you should be able to find something that helps. [/QUOTE]
