Once again Dr. Bhutani, O.D., an optometrist was kind enough to answer the four following questions for me for this article. The questions range from what are indications that an individual needs new eyeglasses to what kind of lens is best for children under sixteen years to how often seniors should get their eyes checked.
1) Question- What are indicators that a person needs new prescription eyeglasses?
Answer- Some of the common symptoms to look out for is blurry vision, can’t see the road signs, difficulty at night time driving, not doing too well in school, grades dropping, can’t focus, seeing double, child does not enjoy reading, closing one eye while reading, eye strain, headaches.
2) Question- What kind of lens is best for children under 16 yrs and why?
Answer- Polycarbonate is always recommended for all types of children’s frames under the age of 16 because kids tend to be rough at play even when they are not taking part in an organized sport. It is a high impact material that provides safety and protection for the children.
Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than traditional plastic eyeglass lenses. They also offer 100 percent ultra-violet (UV) protection and are up to 10 times more impact-resistant than regular plastic lenses.
3) Question- How often should seniors get their eyes checked?
Answer- Seniors, in good health should get comprehensive eye exams at least once a year.
4) Question- What can people do if their eyeglasses tend to slip down their nose?
Answer- Please do not try to fix them at home using your own “tools”. The best thing you can do is go to the nearest optical store or back to your optometrist office and have one of the optician adjust them for you.
A special thanks again to Dr. Bhutani for answering these questions.
