hi dear thanksfor choosing HCM
dear,sometimes it does take aroud 10-15 days to adjust to a new cylindrical specs
first get power of your specs recheked by your optician
if that comes OK ,better to get your refraction rechecked .you have not mentioned your age but at a young age not wearing the desired refraction may give you amblyopia which is a loss of one or two lines of vision loss in your casebut this is usually uncorrectable and irreversible.
my advice to you would be to wear your desirable refraction
