On occasion, a patient will receive their glasses and they will report something isn't right, even if the prescription is the same as the old one. I have seen if the frame is a different size and shape, the patient might have a problem adjusting. This does occur occasionally. Just changing the size of the frame can make a difference to the patient.
The other variable that needs to be looked at is the adjustment of the frame. This is especially true of strong prescriptions. I have learned that how the frame is tilted and wrapped around a patient's head could make a big difference in how a patient sees.
Also if a patient has been wearing contact lenses for a long time and hasn't tried on their glasses for a while, this could cause a problem. This is because glasses magnify or minify what you're seeing more than contact lenses do.
