Hello, So I Am 24, And During The Summer My

Hello,

So I am 24, and during the summer my glasses, which I have no had problems with broke in half while I was cleaning them. I went to an eye doctor I hadn't seen in a while to get a new pair. My eyes are a very high prescription, with astigmatism in both eyes, and progressive lenses. The new glasses took a while to get used to be then I didn't notice it as much. Then during the next few months slowly my right eye started to feel droopy and very strained while I was wearing the glasses, it was hard to focus and looking out of both lenses at the same time made me dizzy. It progressed to me bumping into everything not being able to clear turns and when I took the glasses off, it felt like my eye had to readjust back to normal. I began spending most of my time in bed because my whole body felt tired all the time. I finally went back and after five times of them adjusting the frames, they finally said the lens itself had slightly turned in the frame causing perception issues and they turned it back. It seemed fine for a few days, and then the same thing happened with the other eye. This time they said the frame and the lens was fine, but I still couldn't see or use the glasses. They re-did my eye exam and ordered me new lenses with a new perception strength (I forget what it is called). They also took some getting used to, and never felt fully ok, but I got used to them again and it didn't bother me. Then last week I woke up one day and the same problem was happening with the same right eye. It felt droopy, strained and unable to focus with my left. I went back today and they adjusted the lens, but it still feels the same. I've gone back at least 20 times over the past few months and finally thought it was fixed. I've cried in that office, I don't know what to do. It happens to suddenly, I don't remember doing anything to knock the lens, and I am at my wits end. The only other thing I can think of is that I take adderall, which I realized with both my old glasses that broke and these to an extent that they clear up my vision. I don't know if that can change my astigmatism as well?? I started using it more often recently and then this happened. I think I am just putting teeth trying to figure out how to live. I can't spend my days in bed because I am too exhausted and can't see.
