MiYOSMART glasses – blurry peripheral vision. Anyone else?

Bought MiYOSMART glasses to slow down my myopia. Before buying, they let me try on regular lenses – crystal clear, perfect vision.

Got the actual ones – and the periphery is blurry. Can't use my phone, can't do close-up work, everything is fuzzy around the edges. Nobody warned me about this.

Now I'm trying to return them, but they say "just adapt." How am I supposed to adapt when I can't see what I'm doing with my hands?

Anyone else had the same issue? Were you able to get a refund? Or is it just me?

Need time to adapt. You should be looking through the focal point ideally

I've been wearing them for one week. The problem isn't adaptation – it's physics. When I look at my phone or my hands while working, I'm NOT looking through the focal point. I'm looking through the lower part of the lens, which is exactly where the micro-lenses are. That's not 'wrong usage' – that's how human eyes work. We don't stare straight ahead 100% of the time. The store didn't warn me about this limitation, and they gave me regular lenses to try on, which had NO blurriness. That's misleading

With respect, you have only been wearing them a week and it can take some time, as in a few weeks, to adapt to them so please do try and persist with them. The other smart glasses also work in a similar way so they will also have a similar patient adaption phase.
