Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to check my glasses prescription regularly?

Over time, vision can change, making an outdated prescription less effective. Wearing glasses with an incorrect prescription may cause eye strain, headaches, or difficulty focusing. Regular prescription checks help confirm whether current glasses or contact lenses provide the right correction. If vision changes occur gradually, it may not always be noticeable right away, so scheduled assessments can help identify any adjustments needed. People who use digital screens frequently or have medical conditions affecting eyesight may find that their prescription changes more often and requires monitoring to maintain clear and comfortable vision.
How do I know if my glasses prescription needs updating?

Signs that a prescription may need updating include frequent squinting, difficulty reading small text, blurry vision at certain distances, or persistent eye strain. Headaches, dizziness, or difficulty adjusting focus between near and far objects may also indicate a need for a new prescription. If glasses no longer feel comfortable or vision appears different from when they were first prescribed, it may be time for a check-up. Prescription updates help provide clearer vision and reduce strain during everyday activities, whether reading, working on a computer, or driving.
Can I use the same prescription for glasses and contact lenses?

No, glasses and contact lenses require different prescriptions. Although both correct vision, they have different measurements due to how they sit on the eyes. Glasses rest slightly away from the eyes, while contact lenses sit directly on the surface. A contact lens prescription includes additional details such as lens diameter and curvature to ensure a proper fit. If switching between glasses and contact lenses, it’s important to have separate prescriptions tailored to each type of eyewear. Having regular check-ups helps confirm that both prescriptions remain up to date for clear and comfortable vision.
