Can Bifocal Glasses Cause Headaches?

Some people may experience headaches while adapting to new bifocal glasses, but headaches can have many causes. A change in prescription, lens positioning, frame fit, visual habits or an adjustment to multifocal zones may contribute to discomfort.

Check the Prescription and Fit

Make sure the glasses were made from the correct prescription and that the frame sits properly. A professional adjustment can help if the glasses are slipping or positioned incorrectly.

Screen use, fatigue and uncorrected vision can also contribute to headaches. If symptoms persist or are severe, discuss them with an eye-care professional rather than assuming the lenses are responsible.

New bifocal wearers may need time to become comfortable with the distance and near zones.
