Nikon SLR Cameras

I just got new glasses and my depth perception is distorted, is this normal?

I just got new frames and lenses. The prescription has not changed very much, the doc did not suggest new lenses but my frames are 10 years old and my lenses 8 (quality compressed lenses and frames), I was wearing through the titanium alloy, and frankly I'm recently single trying to improve my self image. I like the design of the frames but my vision is greatly curved, if I'm looking down while walking, it looks like I'm walking up a hill on a flat surface.
They are not cheap lenses (they are Nikon) or frames. I was told that I would adjust to them and I've adjusted to the vision out of the edges of the frames, but they are still very disorienting, I've had them on for 4 days and I'm not sure if I've seen any improvement on this depth perception issue.
I do intricate repair work and need my depth perception. They were also expensive and not covered under my health plan.
It's a long weekend so I'm thinking I'll head back in on Tuesday, but should I be asking for them to get returned?

Any advice?

Ya it happens to me every time I get new glasses. You will get use to it. If you don't go see your doctor.

As my vision has gotten worse over the years the Depth Perception thing has become more and more distorted. I would say it is a normal thing.nothing you should be worried about. You will become used to it in time. With contact lenses you don't have this problem.

It's normal. Every time I receive a new pair of glasses, My vision is a bit distorted as my eyes adjust.wait a few more days, and if there's no more improvement, seek a doctor's advice.

Just wearing glasses will reduce your depth perception.

That's pretty common with All glasses. It usually works itself out within a week, but if it doesn't do definitely get it checked.

I used to think it was because of the prescription change.
Now I think it has just as much to do with
1) slight differences with the angles of the frames in relation to the lens.
2) slight difference in dimensions of lens.

Glasses have a 3D aspect you don't appreciate until you change something. I knew someone that accidentally face-banged themselves into a door frame, and bent their glasses out of alignment. Even though they bent them back (and it really wasn't THAT off from the collision), it had a very definite affect on the way that person saw through those glasses from that day onward.

The same person got new glasses a year or two later with very little change in prescription. But the same depth distortion was highly visible for a day or two.
