Brief Answer: continue with your glasses and avoid cold exposure and use steam inhalation

Detailed Answer:
Welcome at HCM...
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns...
Based upon the history, the pressure sensation behind nose could be due to sinusitis. If I am your attending physician I will investigate you for sinusitis first. I will get your FBC and X Ray PNS to rule out sinusitis. In the meanwhile as you plan to get sinusitis checked, you should stay calm and use steam inhalation at bed time . Anti allergic drug like cetrizine and nasal sprays would be very beneficial in this regard.

Vision is something that you can't compromise. If you are using correct number of lenses which were prescribed by ophthalmologist, then you should use it. It happens in start but with time you would adopt to it.

Hope your query is adequately addressed...
