Which prescription eyeglasses are right for you?

 

There are lots of options - we can help you choose.

 

Choosing the right eyeglasses or contact lenses is an important decision that can affect your vision, comfort, and overall quality of life.

Here are a few tips for choosing the right eyeglasses or contact lenses:

  1. Get an eye exam: Before you can choose the right eyeglasses or contact lenses, have an eye exam with an Optometrist to determine your prescription and assess any vision problems. This will ensure that you get the correct lenses to correct your vision.

  2. Consider your lifestyle: Consider your lifestyle and daily activities. For example, if you are an athlete, you may want to choose contact lenses that are specifically designed for sports.

  3. Choose the right frame: The right frame can make a big difference in the comfort and appearance of your eyeglasses. When choosing a frame, consider the shape of your face, the color of your eyes and hair, and your personal style.

  4. Consider lens options: In addition to your prescription, you also need to choose the right lens options for your eyeglasses. This includes the type of lens (single vision, media/anti-fatigue, bifocal, trifocal, etc.), the lens material (plastic, polycarbonate, etc.), and any coatings or treatments (anti-reflective, blue light filter, scratch-resistant, etc.). These can make a significant difference and are a reason we encourage in-person fittings & adjustments and have related warranties.

  5. Consider your budget & insurance coverage: Eyeglasses and contact lenses can vary greatly in price, so it's important to consider your budget and available insurance benefits when making a decision.

  6. Ask for recommendations: If you are unsure about which eyeglasses or contact lenses to choose, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations from your optometrist or other eye care professionals. They can provide valuable advice based on your specific needs and preferences.

  7. Follow your doctor's advice: Finally, it's important to follow your doctor's advice and instructions when it comes to wearing and caring for your eyeglasses or contact lenses. This will help to maximize their effectiveness and ensure that your vision stays healthy and clear.

In conclusion, choosing the right eyeglasses or contact lenses is an important decision that can affect your vision, comfort, and overall quality of life. By following these tips, you can make an informed decision and choose the eyeglasses or contact lenses that are right for you.
