Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So when you wear your new glasses, your brain may need some time to understand how to interpret the new images it’s receiving, causing you to feel disoriented or dizzy.

Detailed explanation-2: -After getting new eyeglasses, it is quite common for some people to experience discomfort. Your brand new glasses might give you nose marks and pain. Some may even feel eye strain while others get pain at the back of their ears. All of these problems may be occurring because your eyeglasses do not fit you correctly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Absolutely. While dizziness can be caused by a number of factors, poor eyesight and eye strain are two of the most common catalysts for the disorienting sensation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fatigued eye muscles can cause headaches. But your eyes aren’t the only things adjusting to your new lenses. Your brain is also working hard to create a clear picture of the messages it’s receiving from your eyes. This extra brain activity can sometimes bring on a headache, which should only last about a day or so.
