90% of the time I usually wear contacts but today I chose to wear my glasses to school. The prescription is the same, and it’s all accurate, but anytime I take off my glasses after wearing them for a while I get dizzy and nauseous. Does this happen to anyone else?
Like my glasses don’t make me sick wearing them. My contacts don’t make me sick wearing them. My contacts don’t make me sick when I take them out. But when I take off my glasses it just hits me like a truck.

Probably because of a quicker transition?
The contacts coming out takes a few moments, so your eyes slowly adjust, whereas the glasses come off quickly, causing your eyes to not catch up…
Could be completely wrong though!
As someone else said already, you can take off glasses much faster than contacts, so it’s a bit of a shock to your brain. I actually had this problem with my glasses, but it went away on it’s own.
I always close my eyes when I take of my glasses. Helps me to not feel “weird” after I take them off
I’m assuming you’re taking off your contacts in a bathroom or a smaller room and there isn’t as much stuff to see than when you take off your glasses. I can’t see shit far away, I haven’t gotten nauseous but get light headed for a second. There’s going to be more to process if you change your eye sight in a school cafeteria vs your bathroom mirror.
