GLASSES
Jazz up your look with new designer frames. A great new pair of glasses can be so
absolutely stylish and an up to date chic design makes a great accessory to your
wardrobe.
Health
Book an eye exam regularly (annually) as a regular check allows for early detection
of various eye conditions. It is essential to treat glaucoma, ocular hypertension,
cataracts, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy early so that you may
receive the appropriate treatment or that problems can minimized or corrected.
CONTACT LENSES
Transition lenses protect your eyes from harmful ultra violet rays.
Plastic, CR-39 or polycarbonate lightweight lens are lighter than the traditional glass
and do not break as easily but care must be taken not to scratch them therefore
scratch resistant coatings are advisable.
There are also lenses which protect against night vision glare and help computer
users who stare at monitors for hours daily.
Contact Lenses are so much easier to use and wear than the old versions. There are
even ones available now for people with astigmatism. They are softer more pliant and
come in disposable easy care versions. Most optical care providers will allow you to
try contacts to see how you feel with them. It may take a while to fully adjust to
wearing them but they do save the fogging up and glare problems with ordinary
glasses.
You may also wish to consider surgery to correct eye problems. The procedure called
LASIK actually stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and the laser is used
to permanently change the shape of the cornea which is the clear covering on the
front of the eye. As this is a surgical procedure you should take time to extensively
research the topic and suitably licensed doctors before deciding on this undertaking.
