Choosing Your Eyewear

Many different types of glasses exist. These include:

• Every day lenses
• Sunglasses
• Workspace lenses
• Hobby glasses
• Safety glasses
• Sports glasses
• Myopia controlling glasses

One pair doesn’t necessarily fit everything. Depending on your work environment, a separate pair for safety can help keep your eyes free from flying objects or dust, while keeping your everyday pair clean and clear.

Others have special hobbies that require a prescription for a specific distance. This is great for music glasses, woodworking, artwork, etc. This distance from your eye is measured to your workspace, and a custom prescription can be written.

Those that work at the computer all day may benefit from a pair that allows them comfort in their work space. This pair can allow a person to look at the computer straight ahead without tipping their head back, causing neck strain. The main part of the lens is for computer work, so you could look through a large window of clear vision at the computer screen.

Prescriptions can be put into swim goggles. Those who have a high prescription know the irritation with trying to see underwater or snorkel without their glasses on. This can help alleviate those issues.

Sunglasses are important for protecting the eyes against harmful ultraviolet rays. Skin cancer is known for showing up around the eyelids. Polarized glasses help to allow more clear vision without excessive glare.

Glasses for near-sightedness. These are amazing for children with high glasses prescriptions or their parents have high prescriptions to help prevent it from progressing further.

Once you decide which is right for you, then you can decide on coatings, materials, size of the frame, etc. Please ask a trusted optician with experience to get the most out of your glasses so you can see your best.
