All glasses distort what you see. Just look at for instance a door through the upper or lower edge of the lenses. So new glasses will initially seem a bit weird, especially if the new ones are significantly stronger, or, in your case, very different. But the brain is very good adapting.
It takes a while getting used to them. Here in Norway there's a 6 month guarantee - in the rare case you never get used to them. Took me just a couple of days. You may however, like me, want a separate pair for computing, where the part of the lenses dedicated to the distance to monitors is larger.
There are also quality differences, top quality lenses are more expensive, but IMO worth it.

PS. I've twice got new glasses with a huge step (more than 1D) in strength. The first time as a teenager. For a couple of days I had some problems walking, because the ground wasn't where I was used to. So I felt like falling all the time. Lasted only for a day or two.
The next time I was 45. I sat at the canteen at my hospital, and noticed they had got larger coffee cups. Nice. Then I noticed there were larger coffee cups everywhere. For a couple of days. DS.
