Hi all! New member here, have been reading the forums for awhile but decided to finally join since I have a question with my new Oakley’s.
My new RX Straightlink frames with polarized lenses arrived last week and to my disappointment things just aren’t right. My prescription did not change from my old pair, however when I put on my Oakley’s the vision is blurry, takes awhile to focus and it feels as if I am underwater or in a fish bowl. I know it takes some time to adjust to new frames as the shape is more curved than my regular RX glasses but something feels off. Unfortunately, I have read some reviews and horror stories suggesting that you should NOT put rx prescriptions into the Straightlink frames due to the curve and that your eye sight will always be distorted. When I wear them, I can see, but not perfectly and things do not stay in focus, especially at a distance.
Please let me know if any one else has had similar issues with these frames or something like it. I am going to give them a try for another week at work to see if my eyes/brain adjust but if not, I will be going back to the eye doctor where they were purchased sadly.
Thank you all for taking the time to read/respond to this. I was so excited to get a nice pair of Oakley’s for the greenhouse work that I do but am experiencing buyers remorse after spending over $400. The glasses themselves are amazing, just wish the RX didn’t give me a headache.
Thanks again,
Ryan
