Hey guys,
I am slightly nearsighted and require glasses for everything but working on the computer and reading. Over the past few years I have tried to get new glasses, but I can't get a pair that doesn't cause strain and pain. This is particularly a problem in my right eye. It almost feels like I am getting a migraine headache, but without the zigzags. Its like a pressure and pulling sensation that eventually can cause a migraine aura like problem. The thing is, if I take the glasses off it subsides. When I put them back on, I get the problem after a few minutes. If I put on glasses without prescription lenses in them, I don't have this problem (but can't see well) - so its not the frames.
My prescription has been adjusted, I have tried with and without astigmatism (apparently I am on the border of needing it). Different lens materials don't help. It has been suggested that maybe I am sensitive to the curve of the lens or type of lens, but I don't know how to figure this out. I don't really want to have to buy 10 pairs of glasses and guess.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone had similar problems? Would I fare better with contacts?
