After several months of nausea and discomfort, I finally went to a new eye doctor that fixed the problem immediately with a different frame and fit. It turned out that the prescription was correct, but the fit was wrong.&lt;p&gt;Before accepting daily discomfort and nausea as a new norm, you may want to try having more than one eye doctor look at it, if you haven&amp;#x27;t already, for alternate opinions for tests and on all the parameters of fit. There&amp;#x27;s alot that goes into getting your vision corrected and a few tiny adjustments off can end up causing persistent nausea and discomfort similar to what you are describing.</text></comment>

It doesn&amp;#x27;t sound right. There are incurable diagnoses, but there should be one.</text></comment>
