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.

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.

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.

You must wear sunglasses to prevent damage to your eyes. While some contact lenses provide UV protection, they don't cover your whole eye, so you still need sunglasses. Look for sunglasses that protect you from 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB light. This includes those labeled as "UV 400," which blocks all light rays with wavelengths up to 400 nanometers. (This covers all of UVA and UVB rays.

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.

Sorry, but no. It's not that we don't want to help you, but it would be irresponsible to try to diagnose your problem without examining your eyes. However, we do have some tips: If you are having any kind of problem, the first thing you should do is schedule an appointment with your eye doctor to discuss your symptoms. Before your appointment, you might want to use our our symptom finder to research your symptoms. Also try the site search.

Children may be given an eyeglass prescription as young as one year old. For the healthy growth of the eye ball it is necessary to have a clear focused image on the retina.

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. All of the binoculars we carry at 20/20 have twist-in or fold-down eyecups to make wearing your glasses and using your binoculars a snap.

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]

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.

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. Provided the appropriate colour is chosen, it seems unlikely that overlays can have any detrimental effect. The possible long-term effects of wearing coloured glasses are unknown at present.
