Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right frames for my face shape?
Choosing the right frames depends on balancing your face shape with the frame style. For round faces, rectangular or square frames add definition. Oval faces work well with almost any style, while square faces benefit from rounded or oval frames to soften angles. Heart-shaped faces are complemented by frames with wider bottoms, and diamond faces look great with cat-eye or oval shapes.
What is the difference between single-vision and multifocal lenses?
Single-vision lenses correct vision at one distance, either near or far. Multifocal lenses, like bifocals or progressive lenses, offer multiple prescriptions in one lens, providing clear vision at varying distances without needing numerous glasses.
What lens materials are best for durability?
Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are highly durable, lightweight, and impact-resistant, making them ideal for active individuals and children. They’re less prone to shattering than traditional glass or plastic lenses.
Can I get scratch-resistant coatings on my lenses?
Yes, most lenses can be treated with scratch-resistant coatings to enhance durability. While this doesn’t make lenses scratch-proof, it reduces the likelihood of minor scratches from daily wear and cleaning.
What is the benefit of anti-reflective (AR) coatings?
AR coatings reduce glare from light, making it easier to see in bright conditions, especially when driving at night or working on digital screens. They also improve the appearance of lenses by reducing reflections, offering a clearer, more polished look.
How do blue light-blocking lenses work?
These lenses filter out some of the blue light emitted by digital screens, reducing eye strain and improving sleep by minimizing exposure to light that disrupts your circadian rhythm.
How can I adjust my glasses if they feel loose?
You can carefully tighten the screws on the hinges or adjust the nose pads. For a more secure fit, visit an optical professional who can make precise adjustments using specialized tools.
What is the lifespan of contact lenses compared to eyeglasses?
Contact lens lifespan depends on the type: daily lenses last one day, while monthly lenses can be used for about 30 days. On the other hand, eyeglasses can last one to two years or more with proper care and maintenance.
What options are there for people with astigmatism?
People with astigmatism can choose from glasses with customized lenses or toric contact lenses. Both options correct the irregular curvature of the cornea or lens.
Can you repair damaged glasses?
Yes, minor repairs such as tightening screws, replacing nose pads, or fixing loose hinges can often be performed at an optical shop. For more severe damage, like broken frames, replacement may be required.
