Do you dislike your eyeglasses? Maybe they don\u2019t improve your vision as much as you would like, or you just don\u2019t like wearing them. When this is the case, you may neglect to bring your glasses to your eye appointments, thinking the optometrist should start from scratch rather than work from a pair of glasses you\u2019re not fond of. Other times, you may accidentally leave your glasses at home or grab the wrong pair as you rush out the door to your appointment. However, it\u2019s important to always bring your glasses to an eye exam. Here are three reasons why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless of whether you like your glasses, your eye doctor still wants to see them, even if the goal is to find out what\u2019s not <\/em>working for you. Do you wear glasses to correct distance vision, or do you have reading glasses for up-close tasks? Do the glasses have bifocal or trifocal lenses? Do they have progressive lenses that darken when you step outside? What about blue-blocking, scratch-resistant, or anti-glare coatings? The only way for your eye doctor to know is if you bring your glasses to your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your biggest complaint is that your glasses don\u2019t correct your vision properly, it\u2019s helpful for your eye doctor to examine them. A special machine can measure the prescription of your corrective lenses, which your eye doctor can compare to the actual refractive errors in your eyes. Chances are if you\u2019re not seeing clearly, your prescription needs an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people with eyeglasses have some degree of astigmatism. If the optometrist changes your prescription too dramatically, you may not tolerate new glasses<\/a> well. Eye strain, headaches, a pulling sensation, or the impression that flat objects are slanted could make the new glasses worse than your old ones! These problems may be avoided if your eye doctor can use your old glasses for reference when determining the right strength for new prescription lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s been more than a year since your last eye exam, it\u2019s time to schedule a visit. Be sure to bring your glasses with you, even if you don\u2019t like them or you ordinarily wear contact lenses<\/a>. By doing so, you\u2019ll make the most of your visit and leave with the best vision possible. If you\u2019re looking for a new eye doctor, see what Snead Eye Group has to offer.
