Wearing Non-Prescription Eyeglasses Could Damage Your Vision!

Fashion glasses are popular these days, especially with people who think that being a geek or the nerdy look is in. Wearing non-prescription eyeglasses should not cause problems with your vision, but there are instances when they may give a false sense of security to the wearer when worn in front of computer monitors, TVs, and smartphones or tablets that emit blue light. Likewise, if these glasses do not come with UV protection, your eyes are still at risk for conditions associated with too much exposure to ultraviolet light, such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Blue light is known to cause your vision to deteriorate and make you lose sleep, too.High-quality prescription glasses and sunglasses come with protective lenses that can block both UV and blue light. Non-prescription eyeglasses make it seem like your eyes are peering through a clear glass window without any form of protection. So, you are at a higher risk of developing age-related macular degeneration faster. UV light is known to cause premature skin aging, too, so if you start seeing wrinkles around your eyes, even in your 20s, it could be due to too much exposure to UV light. Squinting may lead to crow’s feet and wrinkles under the eyes, too, and you might be subconsciously doing that if you are wearing the wrong prescription glasses, as they are not helping you see clearly.

On another note, there are non-prescription glasses that you can buy from convenience stores, pharmacies, and other non-optical shops. They have fixed grades and they are marketed as ‘reading glasses’. While they are cheaper than having actual prescription glasses done, they could affect your vision in the long run. Keep in mind that only a licensed optician or an optometrist can determine your correct grade and prescribe the right pair of eyeglasses for you. With the wrong glasses, you could find it difficult to read and see, and your vision could deteriorate faster.

So, to avoid vision problems, be sure to buy high-quality eyeglasses only from reputable optical shops. Make sure that the store has in-house opticians and optometrists who can check your vision and prescribe the right pair of eyeglasses. Some of the best online optical shops have been in the industry for decades and have been selling online for almost 20 years. They use cutting-edge freeform machinery and sell only 100% authentic lenses and brands, so you can be sure that you are not buying a copy.
