Part of getting used to your new lenses is making sure that you are wearing them often enough. Using them frequently will help your eyes become accustomed to the new lenses and will help you learn what part of the lens to look out of. Wear your progressive lenses every day, all day, for at least two weeks. Do not switch back and forth between your old glasses and your new ones. This may prolong the adaptation period. Practice getting used to which part of the lenses you need to look out of when doing your daily tasks. If you are struggling to adapt to your new lenses, wait a day or two before driving. The benefit of a progressive lens is the gradually changing level of correction and focus. Since the lenses have different areas of focus, you will have to learn which ones to use in which situations. It may take some practice to learn which part of the lens you need to look through. The top of the lens will be used for focusing on objects that are far way. The middle of the lens is focused on objects that are at an intermediate distance. The bottom of the lens will let you focus on objects that are nearby. You may notice that your peripheral vision is slightly blurry or unclear when using your new progressive lenses. This blur might be most noticeable in the lower sides of your lenses. Learning to turn your head, instead of moving your eyes, can help you to focus on something in this area of your vision. After some time wearing your lenses, you will stop noticing the slight blur in your peripheral vision. Turning or moving your head will allow you to keep your eyes focused through the area of the lens you need. Like any other pair of glasses, your progressive lenses will require proper care. Keeping your lenses clean and safe will keep your vision clear and extend the life of your lenses. Review the following tips to keep your lenses clean and well cared for: When you aren't using your glasses, keep them safe in their case. Don't let your lenses touch any abrasive or rough surfaces. Don't let other people try your glasses on, as this can reshape them, making them no longer fit you properly. Make sure the lenses are slightly wet when cleaning to avoid scratching them. Rinsing your glasses prior to using a cleaning cloth can help ensure that dust and debris are washed off before rubbing the surface of the lens. As you get used to your new lenses, you will want to be careful when walking or driving. Although serious problems are unlikely, learning how to focus and use your lenses properly will help keep your vision strong and clear. Be careful going up stairs. Turn your head down so that you can focus on your feet if you need to.
