I just got glasses, and my vision on the sides bend around the edges. Is this normal?

When wearing glasses, is it regular for your peripheral vision to look concave?I just got glasses, and my vision on the sides bend around the edges. Is this normal?
this is normal when you first wear glasses. These symptoms will go away when you get used to your glasses.
Yes
This might help.
So why do I need a fresnel lens???
Well you can use any magnifying lens, but due to the curved nature of most magnifying glasses the picture you get will be heavly distorted around the edges.
A fresnel lens is completely flat, and so you get no real distortion or bending of the image.

You didn't say what your rx is, but I usually hear this complaint if 1) the eyesize is wider in the new glasses versus the old glasses, 2) the lenses are made of polycarbonate material and you are used to a high index plastic such as 1.67 HI or Trivex 3) the frame needs to be adjusted 4) you are used to contact lenses and notice this most when changing from contacts to your glasses.
