Eyeglasses are an essential tool for many people, helping to correct vision problems and enhance daily life. With the variety of options available, finding the right pair can be challenging. Before you visit Shippee Family Eye Care, P.C. in Lancaster, NH, Littleton, NH, St. Johnsbury, VT, and Montpelier, VT, for care, take a look at some frequently asked questions about eyeglasses below:
When Should I Consider Getting Eyeglasses?
If you experience blurry vision, difficulty focusing on distant or near objects, frequent headaches, or eye strain, it may be time to visit our optometrists for an eye exam. We will assess your vision and determine if eyeglasses are necessary.
What Types of Lenses Are Available?
There are several types of lenses for eyeglasses, including:
• Single Vision Lenses: These lenses are for correcting either nearsightedness or farsightedness.
• Bifocal Lenses: Bifocal lenses have two distinct optical powers for distance and near vision.
• Progressive Lenses: Progressive lenses provide a gradual transition between different focal lengths without visible lines.
• Blue Light Blocking Lenses: These lenses filter out blue light emitted by digital devices, helping to reduce eye strain caused by prolonged screen time.
How Do I Choose the Right Frames?
Choosing the right frames depends on your face shape, personal style, and comfort. It’s important to select ones that complement your facial features and fit well. Consulting with our eye doctors can help guide you in selecting frames that best suit your needs.
How Should I Care for My Eyeglasses?
To ensure your eyeglasses last, clean them regularly with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner. Avoid using paper towels or clothing, as these can scratch the lenses. Store your glasses in a protective case when not in use and avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures.
How Often Should I Get My Eyes Examined?
Regular eye exams are essential for your eye health and ensuring your prescription is up to date. It's generally recommended to have an eye exam every one to two years. However, our optometrists may suggest more frequent visits based on your individual needs or existing vision issues.
