Guari Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · To eyeglass wearers, question I'm sorry I knot this is very off topic but I am not a member of any eye forums Do you guys feel your eyeglasses distort your field of view? I got prescriptions for nearsightedness today. While I can now see very sharply, I feel my field of view is now distorted by the lenses, like if the focal plane of the glasses was out of alignment with my eyes. I am seeing keystoning and it makes me a bit tipsy, near-far relations are a bit skewed, kind of like WA distortions. The lenses were made at a major & leading UK vision place after almost 1 hour and a half of testing... Regular wearers gets this feeling? Aug 22, 2012 at 08:10 PM

Here is a link to a quick read that addresses the situation you describe: Link Hope this helps knowing that it will get better shortly. Aug 22, 2012 at 10:10 PM

Yes yes, I almost ran over a lady when walking earlier today and I have that feeling one gets when looking down the edge of a very tall building. Thank you ver much for the link. I know understand what is going on I'm all up for it if the brain will adapt. I do not recall my vision ever being sharper than it is now with the lenses on. Thanks! Aug 23, 2012 at 12:03 AM

I have the no-line bifocals after wearing single-prescription lenses for decades. Took me a year to adjust. My biggest issues were going down (not up) stairs and the tunnel-vision feeling I couldn't look at anything out of the corner of my eye. Try swiveling your whole head to center something in your field of view on a crowded NYC subway platform. Also, my nearsightedness wasn't really too bad until recently so I often shoot with no glasses, especially if the camera's finder has built-in diopter correction. But I cannot see a single control or read one letter of the LCD panel w/out reading glasses. I'd say it's a pain in the butt but I think my pains there come from other age-related issues. :-) Henry Posner henryp@bhphoto.com B&H Photo-Video Aug 29, 2012 at 05:34 PM

NightOwl Cat Offline • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · To eyeglass wearers, question It definitely gets better. Try escalators with new glasses.. WHOA! Have had glasses for 45 years now, bifocals for the last 4 Aug 30, 2012 at 04:02 PM

Guari Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · To eyeglass wearers, question Good to know guys and thanks for sharing, I'm slightly bonding with my glasses, step by step Aug 30, 2012 at 04:54 PM

Theconejo Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · To eyeglass wearers, question Not only is new glasses syndrome alarming, any time I switch from glasses to contacts, especially if it's been a while, I get similar issues. I feel very disheartened when I have to use viewfinders and I don't have contacts in. Although that hasn't happened in many years because of lcd's. Aug 30, 2012 at 06:18 PM

Glenn Kendall Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · To eyeglass wearers, question At the risk of going OT on this, perhaps, OT thread, in reading this discussion I got to thinking about Henry's comment about shooting w/o glasses but being unable to read the LCD and other controls w/o glasses. That's my situation also. It occurred to me that having a monocle handy might be a solution for that. So I just ordered a +3 monocle to experiment with. So, Guari, your question sparked a discussion that spaked a thought that might be a solution to a problem. Thanks! Sep 21, 2012 at 04:41 PM

samuellucas Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · To eyeglass wearers, question Try to check if the prescribed lenses still your actual eye lenses needs. Cheers, Samuel Nov 14, 2012 at 08:55 AM
