But when I wear them they give me headaches, because I don't wear them enough.
They shouldn't give you headaches if they are properly measured. Go back to your optometrist and get them fixed
Yes, glasses give headaches at the beginning (if they correct a lot, not if they slightly adjust the owners vision). It's how it is, you need to suffer a bit until you get used to them. Then, you get headaches when you don't wear them.
Backing this up. My glasses are for really bad astigmatism. When I first got the glasses, they made my head hurt über bad and I felt nauseous. Now, my head hurts when I don't wear them.
I wear glasses constantly as my eyes are terrible. You might fishbowl a little when they are new but pain is not right and the number one sign your prescription is wrong.
I got a headache when I first started wearing glasses. Then it went away. There wasn't anything wrong with the prescription. It was just my eyes adjusting to suddenly being able to see in HD for the first time in years.
