It’s essential to prioritize your eye health, especially as you age or if you have a family history of cataracts, glaucoma, or macular degeneration. If you’re considering eyeglasses, it’s important to think about factors such as lenses, frames, and fit. Before visiting Sunny Isles Eye Center in Sunny Isles, FL, take a look at some frequently asked questions about eyeglasses below:
How Do I Know If I Need Glasses?
Common signs you may need eyeglasses include difficulty seeing distant objects, trouble reading up close, blurry vision, eye strain, headaches, or squinting. A comprehensive eye exam by our optometrist can help assess your vision and determine if glasses are necessary.
How Often Should I Have an Eye Exam?
It's generally recommended to have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, depending on your age, health, and vision changes. Regular exams help ensure your prescription is up to date and can detect any eye health issues early.
What Type of Eyeglass Lenses Are Available?
Eyeglasses come in various lens types, including the following:
• Single Vision: These lenses are designed to correct either myopia or hyperopia.
• Bifocals: Bifocal lenses are ideal for correcting both near and distance vision issues, featuring two distinct optical zones.
• Progressive: Progressive lenses provide a seamless transition between near and distant vision without visible lines on the lenses, making them aesthetically pleasing and functional.
• Anti-Reflective: Anti-reflective lenses enhance night driving by improving clarity and reducing glare.
How Do I Care for My Glasses?
To care for your eyeglasses, regularly clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth and a gentle lens cleaner to prevent scratches and smudges. Additionally, store your glasses in a protective case when not in use to avoid damage and ensure they remain in good condition.
