Feeling perplexed and hope someone might know more than me.... Im guessing uncorrected astigmatism might make one nauseous/dizzy - wondering if this is true? And if so, whether it wears off.
So this afternoon: I walked in to the opticians wearing two contact lenses, not being able to see very well - and walked out with new contact lenses seeing much better, but within seconds the high street was making me feel a bit dizzy and disorientated and I have felt very nauseous ever since, in spite of taking left lens out.
Walking in:
- Right eye: minus 8.5 (distance eye)
- Left eye: minus 9 and minus 1.25 for astigmatism ("reading" eye but didnt work - possibly cos cataract also developing)
Walking out:
- Right eye: minus 9 (distance eye)
- Left eye: minus 11 and no astigmatism correction as doesn't go up higher than minus 9 (changed to distance level)
So....
- might it be because I haven't got the astigmatism correction? or because a stronger lens? or any other ideas???
