Reading glasses make me sick :(

[lukenick1]

Does anyone else get motion sick from reading glasses? I can't see anything anymore including my wrist watch and wearing glasses makes me so sick. Suggestions?

It takes some time to get used to them. Maybe you have bought too strong of a power? But generally, it will take some time for you to adjust to them.

I have that issue with them if they are too strong. I use a 1.25 and thought I may need to increase magnification. I tried some 2.0 's of my dads and wanted to vomit! Maybe you are trying something too strong.

....I never got sick, but I'd feel very dizzy and borderline nauseous. I was so used to wearing contacts that it took some adjusting. Also, the eye doctor gave me a prescription that wasn't quite as strong as my lenses....

....I definitely remember that I couldn't turn my head left or right too quickly....

I have the same problem. Luckily I don't need glasses much any more but when I worked at the computer for 8+ hours a day my eyes were really strained. I would wear glasses some days and if I looked away from the computer I would get nauseous. It lasted for a few weeks, but then I was okay. Until I would try walking with the glasses on!

I do as well. If I'm reading something I'm fine, but if I look at anything else while peering through my glasses I get nauseous. I end up with the glasses sitting down on my nose so I can look over the top of the frames. Too much hassle taking them off and putting them on all the time, but I only need them to read.

What kind? The cheap kind that are sold without a prescription might not have the best quality lenses. That happens a lot with any kind of nonprescription lenses that are cheaply made.

When I first started wearing mine they did and now if I look up through them they might since I wear 3.0 but I've become an expert of looking over the top of them. Maybe try buying some of the little half ones so it will make it easier to see over the top of them.
