Question

After wearing contact lenses for a year, I feel dizzy and sleepy whenever I put on frame glasses. Is this normal? I have already had a check-up and everything is fine. I just got new glasses today, but the symptoms are still the same.

Answer

Hello! Feeling dizzy and sleepy at the beginning of wearing frame glasses is normal. However, if this situation persists, it is not a normal phenomenon. Generally, the visual effect of contact lenses is better than that of frame glasses because they cause less visual distortion. According to your description, this problem usually improves after one week. Since you have already had a medical examination and everything is normal, and you just got new glasses today, I suggest you give it another week to adapt and observe if there is any change in the symptoms.
