Eyeglasses Q & A
What type of vision problems can eyeglasses correct?
Eyeglasses correct a variety of vision problems, including these most common issues:
Myopia
Commonly called nearsightedness. If you suffer from this condition, your close-up vision is fine, but your distance vision is fuzzy.
Hyperopia
Commonly called farsightedness. If you have this condition, you can see well at a distance, but your nearby vision is unclear.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a gradual reduction in near vision that usually starts around age 40. When you develop presbyopia, you may have to hold a book farther away to read it.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a condition that happens when your cornea or eye lens has an irregular curve. This can lead to blurry vision, especially in serious cases. Astigmatism often occurs in myopia or hyperopia sufferers.
Prescription eyeglasses can correct all of the problems above. If you're dealing with more than one of these issues, you can get customized lenses to correct both problems.
Are over-the-counter glasses good for presbyopia?
Usually, they aren’t good enough. The glasses that you can purchase at drugstores and discount stores are only meant for mild presbyopia, and only for men and women with uncomplicated vision issues.
If you have different vision correction needs in each eye, astigmatism, or any significant vision problems at all in addition to mild presbyopia, you'll find prescription glasses a far better solution.
Do I need special lenses for my glasses?
Depending on your vision problems and concerns, you might find special lenses a great option. You can choose options such as:
- Anti-glare lenses to reduce reflections
- Polycarbonate lenses that are highly impact-resistant
- Blue light glasses lenses for digital eye strain
- Photochromic lenses that automatically darken in sunlight
- High-index lenses that are lighter and thinner than normal lenses
- Multifocal lenses that contain two or more different prescriptions
Your Family Eyecare of Linden care providers can help you choose the ideal lenses and frames.
