Text is smaller and smooshed together. And forget trying to read with them because the text is blurry it's like my eyes can't focus. This is my second day of trying to make my eyes adjust. I can make the letters out but 12 point text is now 6pt and blurry enough that I have to concentrate to read it. Ugh! Eye strain after wearing them for about 30 minutes and burning in my left eye. These are single lenses not bifocals.

The only legitimate reason I can think of for poor vision at closer distances with your new glasses is if you have reached the age where close vision starts to go (I have no idea what your age is). https://www.allaboutvision.com/condi...presbyopia.htm . If that is the case you might need bifocals or progressives.

If you are not old enough for that to be the issue, then something could be wrong with the prescription or the glasses -mistakes do happen! Either way, you should go back to the eye doctor.
