Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Why does everything look different or trippy? I recently got sports goggles for soccer with the same prescription as with my regular glasses. I feel so much more comfortable with my regular glasses that I almost want to keep playing sports with those glasses. I got the sports goggles so they won't break (I have broken pairs of glasses in the past with sports) and so they will not fall off. Now I am scared to use them because it is almost as if I am in an adjustment period again. I know that happens when you have a different prescription but I know this is the same exact one. Will this continue to bother me when I am practicing or playing? Any tips?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is very common for everyone to get these kinds of experience when they change glasses even with the same power glasses. This is because our eyes get adjusted to the glasses, even minor changes like the shape of the glasses, frames, interpupillary distance, a gap between glasses and eyes. After you use these glasses for a month your eyes get adjusted to the new one. You can use the sports goggles during sport and normal glass during other times.
