The right combination of your eye lenses and vision correction glasses should be always used. For people having astigmatism, nearsightedness or farsightedness, prescription glasses are a great help. Improper glasses or lenses can put strain on your eyes which can lead to further deterioration of vision.
Before you start looking for eye glasses to correct vision, you need to visit a Eye Doctor for eye examination. The optometrist will tell you which kind of glasses to purchase and give a prescription for the same. Severe vision problems can also be reduced through the use of high index material eyeglasses. These provide better optics and are lightweight, preventing headache for those having bad eyesight.
Another good option is aspheric lenses. The flat and thin design can enhance your appearance and not appear thick like traditional glasses. For extreme sight correction, this is a perfect way to avoid face distortion and not make the eyes appear too big or too small.
The best part about prescription glasses is the scratch resistant coating on it. In addition, anti-reflective coating and UV coating is also used to protect your vision correction glasses and eyes from damage by harsh sunlight. Other kinds of coatings are also used to increase the life of your eye glasses.
Nowadays, prescription glasses come with tinted lenses, the latest being photo-chromatic lenses. These can change colour according to the type and amount of exposure to light. Indoors, the lenses remain clear but in the sun, the same will darken to avoid eye damage.
Both farsightedness and nearsightedness can be corrected through multi-focal prescription glasses. These include bifocals, trifocals and progressive lenses. While bifocals have two different lenses, trifocals have three kinds of lenses and progressive lenses have continuity between the lenses. This is smoother than bifocals and trifocals that have a line between the lenses.
Vision should be tested every 3-6 months to check the change in number of glasses/ lenses.
