Answer
Please - go back to the doctor or optician and tell them of your experiences. There are two possibilities: 1) the glasses were made incorrectly and do not match the prescription that was intended for you or
2) The prescription given is what the doctor intended, but does not work for you.
A return visit should clear this up for you. Occasionally a person needs a few days to get used to a new prescription, but your symptoms sound so obvious and so extreme that I am certain a mistake was made at some level and you will never be able to get used to this prescription. It almost sounds like they gave you someone else's glasses! People in the optical industry know this happens occasionally and should be willing to fix it for you at no charge.
