I just got contacts four days ago and I'm having trouble adjusting. I had been wearing glasses since first grade, so I was both nervous and excited to try them.

I got them the day of my eye exam, so they dilated my eyes and I chose "1 or 2" and whatnot. I learned how to care for them. My friends described contacts as immediately being so amazing and being able to see clearly, but this hasn't been the case for me.

My eyes were dilated so of course everything was blurry. I waited for the next day, it wasn't blurry anymore but I haven't gotten the "aha" moment of seeing clearly. I just assumed I needed to get used to the new prescription.

So today I still have this weird feeling. I feel like I'm walking around without a prescription almost. I feel like my eyes are yearning for me to put my glasses back on to see better. I took the contacts out to compare what everything looks like with them on and off. I can see there is a difference, but when I wear them I feel like I need my glasses. I can read (which is what they are for I'm farsighted). I just can't get it out of my head I need more magnification I guess.

I even took some lenses out of an old pair of sunglasses and put them on just too see if the weight is what I'm missing, but I still feel like it's not as magnified as it should be. I'm not sure if I need to wait a little longer to adjust or if maybe the prescription needs to be a little stronger. I just haven't been able to feel like I can see good. I get on my computer and I can see the screens, but it's just not as big as I would like it. I look into the mirror and see my face; I take them out I can tell I see better with them on, but it's not as close as I'd like.

I was wondering if anyone has advice or has experienced this. It just has been really bugging me and I don't know if it's me or the contacts. I've been debating on putting my old glasses back on just because I feel like I'm not wearing a prescription on my eyes, even though I know I am. It never took me this long to adjust to new glasses before.

Thank you in advanced!
