Everything You Need to Know About Prescription Glasses and Contact Lenses
When it comes to prescription glasses and contact lenses, there are many factors at play that differ from one individual to the next. From understanding how they’re made to discussing your options with your eyecare professional, we’re here to provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions about your vision correction.
How Glasses and Contact Lenses are Made
Prescription glasses and contact lenses undergo a detailed manufacturing process to ensure they meet your specific vision requirements. It all starts with your eye exam, where your optometrist or ophthalmologist determines the precise measurements needed to correct your vision. These measurements are then used to create lenses that address your refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
Talking to Your Doctor
When considering prescription glasses or contact lenses, it’s important to have an open and honest discussion with your eyecare provider. Make sure you discuss things like your vision correction options, the fitting process, maintenance and care for your glasses or contacts, and any necessary follow up appointments or care recommended to monitor your vision.
