WHY SHOULD I GET AN EYE EXAM?
An eye exam will check your vision to see if you need glasses to help you see better, but will also look for any problems with the health of your eyes. Often when eye diseases are found there are no symptoms, and the sooner problems are found the better the long term outcome.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN EYE EXAM?
During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will not only determine if you require a prescription for eyeglasses, but they will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as indicators of your overall health.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET EYE EXAMS?
It is recommended that everyone get an eye exam at least yearly, even if you see well and do not think you need glasses. The eyes are unique in that they do not have pain detecting nerves on the inside. If there is an issue like bleeding or swelling within the eye, you will not know unless your vision is affected. Often, in these circumstances, vision loss is permanent. Therefore, prevention is the key to eyecare.
IS IT TRUE THAT WEARING YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS GLASSES MAKES YOUR VISION WORSE AND MORE DEPENDENT ON GLASSES IN THE FUTURE?
No. Wearing glasses has no affect on your prescription. Your eyes might change, therefore changing the prescription over time, but there is no correlation between wearing glasses and decreased vision.
However, wearing glasses does improve your vision. You may not think your vision is bad until putting on a pair of glasses that improves your vision. Now when you take your glasses off, your once “good” vision is now “ok” vision, and you prefer how you see in your glasses, resulting in you wanting to wear them more often.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGLE VISION AND PROGRESSIVE LENSES?
Single-vision lenses offer one correction throughout the entire lens (usually for distance or reading). Progressive lenses offer multiple focal corrections in one lens, providing a seamless transition from distance correction on top to reading correction on bottom. This means you can see your whole field of vision without switching between multiple pairs of glasses. If you have any additional questions about progressives, we’re happy to help.
