Eyeglasses Q & A

How can I tell if I need eyeglasses?

When most people think of conditions that can benefit from eyeglasses, they think of chronic or long-term vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, and it's true, all of those conditions can be addressed with eyeglasses. But other issues like dry eye, light sensitivity, difficulty focusing on near objects and chronic headaches may also be treated with eyeglasses. The only way to know for sure if eyeglasses can improve chronic symptoms is to have a comprehensive eye exam.

Is it OK to correct vision issues with glasses for sale in a drugstore or supermarket?

Correcting issues like problems reading or performing close-up work using over-the-counter “reading” glasses is usually not a good idea. Reading glasses are designed to magnify, and both lenses provide the same magnification. However, eyes tend to have different needs when it comes to clear vision, and using the same magnification for each eye can make vision problems worse. The manufacturing process used in over-the-counter eyeglasses is also not nearly as precise as the process used to manufacture lenses purchased through an eye doctor's office. And finally, using reading glasses to improve vision can wind up masking underlying conditions, delaying treatment and causing more serious vision problems to occur. Any change in vision, including changes associated with eye strain and aging, need to be assessed by an eye doctor.

Can eyeglasses help eyes that are sensitive to light?

Yes, several lenses on the market can help eliminate the vision problems associated with bright lights and fluorescent lights, including lights that change tint in different lighting conditions.
