Well, the glasses make everything smaller. I'm not sure how that all works, being that my problem is not being able to see things in the distance. So now everything in my bad eye is miniature but I can see stuff far away.
I dunno, they said a week. I'm hoping it's just the adjustment period. The brain is the problem, of course, not the eyes. It can adapt to just about anything...even if you wear glasses that invert your vision:

In his 1896 paper [12], George Stratton reported on experiments in which he wore eyeglasses that inverted his visual field of view. Stratton argued that since the image upon the retina was inverted, it seemed reasonable to examine the effect of presenting the retina with an ``upright image''.
His ``upside-down'' glasses consisted of two lenses of equal focal length, spaced two focal lengths, so that rays of light entering from the top would emerge from the bottom, and vice-versa. Stratton, upon first wearing the glasses, reported seeing the world upside-down, but, after an adaptation period of several days, was able to function completely normally with the glasses on.

It just takes time.
