Your frames are as important as your lenses. Check them regularly for cracks or loose joints. If they no longer sit properly on your face, have them adjusted so you can wear them comfortably.
Do you only wear sunglasses at certain times of the year? It important to wear sunglasses all year long, not just in summer. For example, in winter snow and ice glare can damage your eyes.
When selecting new frames for your lenses, we recommend taking your time and trying on several different shapes and materials. While they may look good on display, you need to like how they feel and how they look when you wear them.
If you have never had bi, tri, or progressive lenses in your glasses, they may take a little getting used to, especially when walking around the first time you wear them. However, once you figure out how they work, you will wonder how you ever got along without them.
Astigmatism results from a change in the standard shape of the eye. Normally the eye is round, but astigmatism is the product of an oval eye surface. Proper prescription eyewear corrects the vision problems it causes.
If you have children who wear glasses, you know that it can be a struggle to keep them in good condition (the glasses, that is). Keep a backup pair on hand in the event the primary pair breaks.
Polarized lenses offer a different type of protection than lenses that have a UV coating. Polarization protects your eyes by reducing the amount of sunlight that passes through the lens; however, it does not stop UV radiation, so a UV coating is also needed.
From gymnast Laurie Hernandez: "Being able to wear contacts, you don't have to worry about your glasses falling off or how you look during your beam routine. As soon as they're in, literally two minutes later, you forget that they're on."
If you wear glasses and work at a job that requires protective eyewear, special lens materials are available. Lenses can be made using your prescription that will protect your eyes while on the job.
Woodworking hobbies that require attention to detail or working with power tools necessitate that your eyes be properly protected. Instead of using uncomfortable, over-the-counter goggles, have safety glasses made using your prescription.
As you age, your eyesight may suffer, and it could be from several conditions. It is not uncommon for people to have both presbyopia and myopia. Bi-focal or progressive lenses are designed to help with multiple malfunctions.
