Your Optometrist will explain the purpose of your prescription and when they should be worn. In most cases, glasses will not cause any deterioration that would not otherwise occur. However, wearing glasses for activities different than recommended (i.e. distance glasses worn to read up close) may make the eyes work harder than they need to.

No, your eyes will not get "worse" from wearing glasses. This is one of the biggest eye myths perpetuated by a few individuals. When most patients talk about their eyes getting "worse", they usually are referring to their glasses prescription increasing. Just because your prescription changed and you wear glasses does not mean the glasses caused the change in prescription.

No. Once you start wearing glasses you prefer the new clear image so, when you take your glasses off, the image you see seems worse by comparison but, in fact, it hasn’t changed.

Many people have watched their eyesight become significantly worse in a very short time after wearing full-power, compensating lenses. Yet, many of these people watch their eyesight improve again after removing these lenses. Most of us have good eyesight as children. Just as we naturally learn to walk, we also learn to see and develop correct eyesight habits. Research shows that many eyesight problems start when vision is strained.

No. In fact, the opposite may be true. If a child does not wear the glasses prescribed, normal vision development can be adversely affected. [Back to Top]

It is not a good idea to use a prescription that is not intended for your eyes. The wrong prescription could give you headaches, make you dizzy and cause eye-strain, so our advice to you is to check all the details with regard to your prescription before sending us your order.

The aim of all Ultralase vision correction is to improve your eyesight. Everything we do is targeted to achieve that, from the equipment we install to the recruitment of highly-skilled specialists, from the procedures we follow to the assessments we make. In a minority of cases, there is need for retreatment. Read the safety and risks section for more detail. Recent evidence suggests that stability of outcome is excellent for ten or more years post-treatment.

Magic eyes vision training seek to actually cure children's vision problems. Glasses only correct your eyesight, you are still nearsighted. By scientific basis we understand efficacy confirmed or proven through scientific experiments or studies. Statistical analysis of cases is another way of determining whether something is valid and worthwhile. There is sufficient evidence for the American Optometrist Associations to publish a special report in support of the efficacy of vision training.

Before the decision is made to proceed with Laser Vision Correction, your vision needs to be stable. Long-term results indicate that the procedure itself yields a permanent and stable correction. In the unlikely event that your distance vision decreased later in life, due to a change in your refractive error (prescription), we could generally touch-up the result at that time.

This is not true. In fact, prescription eyeglasses can prevent further damage to the eyes. Depending on your prescription, an eyecare professional will probably fit you in either single vision or multifocal lenses. The single vision lens is designed to optimize your vision at one distance only: near for reading or work at the computer; or far for distance (watching a movie or driving).

If you have lost some sight from macular degeneration, don't be afraid to use your eyes to do the things you want to do. Feel free to continue to read, watch TV and perform other routine activities.

With all of our binoculars, you may wear glasses while using the binoculars. Poor quality binoculars often do not provide enough eye relief long enough to position the binoculars in front of your eyeglass lenses as you wear them.

No. In fact, using amplification for your hearing problem as soon as you notice it will keep your listening skills sharper than if you waited until your hearing was much worse. Also, all hearing aids have maximum output values to insure that they cannot get so loud that they will cause you damage.

Bates stated that the best approach is for people to stop wearing glasses altogether, but this is not practical for most people living in today's society. Modern teachers have found that students can be successful by wearing reduced strength glasses when they are needed. When driving you must obviously be sure that your eyesight, with reduced strength glasses if necessary, meets the legal requirements.

The answer is maybe. It depends on your age, and your particular eye problem. The average person in their mid forties will start wearing glasses and then continue with reading glasses for the rest of their life, but the glasses will not make their eyes worse. Children may need to wear glasses for a short period of time (a few months) and then can stop wearing them or continue to use them.

Possibly.There are several reasons that reading "cheaters" purchased at the drugstore can contribute to eye problems. First, they always have the same prescription in each lens, and most people require a different power in each eye. Therefore one eye will be over- or under-corrected, leading to focusing disorders. Second, drugstore glasses never include correction for astigmatism, which nearly everyone has. Astigmatism blurs both distance and near vision.

That depends. Many people have plastic lenses, which do not protect your eyes; you need to have UV coating for protection. Polycarbonate lenses have built-in UV protection. Glass lenses protect your eyes from harmful UVB rays, but not from UVA; some experts think UVA rays might have long-term, damaging effects on your eyes and skin.

Just as some colours are reported as being beneficial, others are often reported to be uncomfortable. Individuals sometimes show a marked aversion to these uncomfortable colours.

The meme theory or concept is also a meme- right? Must be - otherwise why the post? Yes the concept of memes is itself a meme. techno, you try to make everything all mystical and magical, but sometimes that shit just doesn't apply, alright? It's purely intellectual, and by that I mean its purely inside the mind.

Vision Training seeks to restore your natural clear vision by way of training exercises. The assumption is that you already have good eyesight. You were, most probably, born with good eyesight. More than 98% of all children under the age of 6 have great eyesight. Vision training seeks to restore your natural ability to see. This is accomplished through a series of exercises that relax the eyes and let go of any tension. Think of Vision Training as “Tai Chi ” for the eyes.

Most patients who have LASIK with IntraLase do not wear glasses for their daily activities. There may be a need to wear reading glasses if the patient is over the age of 40. This is caused by the normal aging of the eye known as presbyopia. This condition occurs with or without LASIK with IntraLase. Some patients may need a minimal prescription for some activities such as night driving.
