My prescription prescription is
Left: Sph -5.00 Cyl 1.75 Axis 00.5
Right Sph -4.50 Cyl 1.75 Axis 00.9
It's a significant change from my old prescription which was from 2008. I have to go back when hubby's are finally in and tell them to give me the Pupillary Distance. They forgot to this time.

If you're 45+, you will not 'get used' to them. You just don't have as much accommodation in your eyes as when you were younger, and if your glasses are correct for distance vision, you won't be able to see near things in focus.
I'm 54, and I now have varifocals which work well for me in general use - especially when driving, so I can read the dashboard controls!
But if you're under 40, it sounds like they may have got the prescription wrong, either in the test, or in the lenses. An optician should be able to quickly verify that the lenses are made to the new prescription correctly. If they are, then perhaps a re-test?
