How do glasses or contact lenses improve vision?
Glasses and contact lenses improve vision by adjusting the way the eyes bend and focus light. Ideally, light rays are refracted (bent) as they pass through the cornea so that they focus on the retina (the back of the eye). In a healthy eye, this means that objects can be seen clearly.
What are refractive errors?
Many people’s corneas have a flat or steep curvature which causes light rays to focus in front of or behind the retina. Objects may then appear blurry at certain distances or at all distances. Glasses and contact lenses correct these refractive errors.
What is nearsightedness?
Nearsightedness or myopia is a condition where distant objects appear blurry, but close-up objects can be seen clearly.
What is farsightedness?
Farsightedness or hyperopia is a condition where close-up objects appear blurry, but distant objects can be seen clearly.
How does my eye doctor determine if I need glasses or contact lenses?
Regular eye exams test for the development and progression of refractive errors and help your eye doctor provide a proper prescription if eyeglasses or contact lenses are needed.
How does my eye doctor determine my vision prescription?
Prescriptions are measured for each eye so patients can enjoy optimal vision clarity. Eyewear may be used for certain activities, such as reading for farsighted (hyperopic) patients and driving or watching television for nearsighted (myopic) patients, or may be worn at all times.
Why are sunglasses important to my eyesight?
Sunglasses, available with or without a prescription, offer vital UV protection to help reduce the risk of eye conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
