What are patients' beliefs about, and experiences of, adaptation to glasses and how does this affect their wearing habits?

The traditional optometric perspective of adaptation to glasses is much narrower than that held by patients, and significantly underestimates the physical, behavioural and emotional adaptation that patients must go through in order to feel fully comfortable wearing their glasses. Patients should receive significantly more information about adaptation, including symptoms that may be experienced and why these happen, practical tips to aid adaptation, and when and how to raise concerns. Patients should also receive information about the day-to-day effects of blur adaptation to avoid them not wearing their glasses, including for vision-critical tasks such as driving.
