Eyeglasses FAQs

How Do You Know You Need Eyeglasses?

You know you need eyeglasses when your vision is blurred, and you cannot see objects as clearly as you used to. This can be due to several conditions, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

What Type of Eyeglasses Are Right for You?

The eyeglasses that are right for you depend on your individual vision needs. If you have nearsightedness, you will need a concave lens, which is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. If you have farsightedness, you will need a convex lens, which is thicker at the edges and thinner in the middle. If you have astigmatism, you will need a cylindrical lens, which is curved on one side and flat on the other.

How to Choose the Right Frame Size?

The first step in choosing the right frame size is to measure the distance between your eyes. This is called the pupillary distance, or PD. To do this, you can use a ruler or a measuring tape. Once you have your PD measurement, add about 10-15 millimeters to it. This is the minimum width you should look for in a frame.

What is the Right Frame Style for You?

The right frame style for you is the one that complements your face shape. If you have a round face, look for wide and rectangular frames. If you have an oval face, look for frames as wide as your face or slightly wider. If you have a square face, look for round or oval frames.

How do You Care for Your Eyeglasses?

To keep your eyeglasses looking like new, it's important to clean them regularly. The best way to clean your lenses is with a mild soap and water solution. You can also use a lens cleaning solution designed specifically for eyeglasses. To clean your frames, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage your glasses.
