How long should I wait, post blepharoplasty, to have my prescription glasses adjusted? (Photo)

DebMoody
I had upper and lower blepharoplasty in August. I wear progressive glasses and, with my improved field of vision, the "accommodations" I had made (tipping my head back to see) are no longer necessary & my glasses seem a bit off. The correction seems to be unchanged, just not the location on the bi-focal portion of the lens as I am constantly lifting my frames off of my nose to manually adjust them. How long should I let this new view of the world settle in before visiting my optometrist?
