Plano is a term used by eye care professionals to describe eyewear that has no prescription. Planos are used for cosmetic purposes rather than to correct vision problems. This type of eyewear is used to enhance the appearance or to accessorize an outfit. Planos are also used to protect the eyes from wind and UV rays. Planos may be purchased from eye care specialists or from clothing and general merchandise establishments.
Instructions
things you’ll need:
Plano eyeglasses or contact lenses
1 Plano contact lenses are clear in the center and colored around the outside.
Wear plano contact lenses to change the color of the iris of the eye. See an eye care specialist for plano contact lenses. Although plano contact lenses are not prescriptive in terms of correcting vision, they should only be purchased from an eye care professional because of the potential eye health risks when contact lenses are not used properly.
2 With nonprescription clear or tinted lenses, plano eyeglasses are used to accessorize an outfit. Eyeglass frames are available in an endless variety of styles and colors. Eyeglasses are also used to enhance beauty. Eyeglasses tend to make the nose look shorter and to camouflage aging skin around the eyes. Eyeglasses also make the eyes look larger.
3 Protect your eyes while you have fun in the sun.
Protect your eyes with plano sunglasses. Ultraviolet (UV) rays are harmful to the eyes and should be avoided. Select sunglasses with UV protection to avoid cataracts, macular degeneration and skin cancer in the eye area. Wraparound-style sunglasses protect from wind and grit during outdoor activities. Sunglasses are also available with polarizing lenses to reduce glare.
Tips & Warnings
The Plano Contact Lens Law classifies all contact lenses as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The sale of plano contact lenses by nonlicensed individuals is a misdemeanor.
