Many glasses wearers, especially those new users, usually have a wrong concept that their eye problems are not very serious and can be resolved by glasses from local pharmacy. Buying prescription glasses is not needed, or they are much expensive than regular glasses. However, many people have their vision damaged seriously as a result.
If people are suffering from some serious symptoms, like blurriness, headaches, dryness, etc., they should visit their optometrists and ask for help. For this, a particular eye exam is needed, to see what the problem is.
People may also come to such recognition that some glasses or lenses are needed if there are any problems on their eyes. This is not true all the time. But there are still many cases that eye wear are not needed, but some special eye treatments. For example, people are suffering from allergies, cataracts, strabismus, etc. In addition, if eye wear are not needed, people should also make sure that the problems are never serious than that of wearing eye wear. For this, some special eye exams are also urgently needed.
Usually, people’s two eyes may suffer from differently and they may have different degrees as a result. And it is even rare for the two to be the same. Therefore, people should be very careful and never purchase at pharmacy stores. For this, prescription eyeglasses are needed. Before that an eye prescription must be made by an optometrist. He or she will find out what the problems are and prescribe according to patient’s personal situations.
Ultimately, never sacrifice eye health just because glasses from the pharmacy can save some dollars. Buying prescription glasses is really very important.
