For both healthy individuals and those who may be experiencing vision problems, Eye Exams Somerville MA are recommended to maintain healthy eyes. Many eye diseases do not present symptoms until permanent damage has already occurred, so by regularly receiving eye examinations you can help prevent and assess early on any eye diseases. During a regular eye exam an ophthalmologist will check pupil function and intraocular pressure to detect signs of glaucoma. They will also dilate your eyes to check the health of your retina or they can scan the retina using a retinal scanning device without having to dilate your eyes.
After checking basic eye health, the ophthalmologist will check your eyesight using different sight charts and by evaluating your vision can determine how strong or weak your eyes are and if you have any astigmatism in one or both eyes. Normal vision is usually 20/20 vision, but variations from 20/20 can be corrected using eyeglasses or contact lenses. After receiving an eye examination, an optometrist can then prescribe a prescription suited to your eye needs which can then be filled in the form of Designer Eyeglasses And Sunglasses Somerville MA or generic frames. Optometrists differ from ophthalmologists in that they receive training in giving prescriptions for lenses.
For those patients who may not have severe vision problems, prescription glasses for reading or other activities can be more beneficial than contacts if they aren’t needed on a daily basis. When choosing glasses frames taking into consideration the shape of your face as well as the shape of the frame will help to find glasses that are not only functional, but are fashionable and compliment your face shape. Designer Eyeglasses And Sunglasses Somerville MA are often made of higher grade materials than generic brand glasses and come in a variety of stylish designs. Many fashion brands produce glasses frames and depending on your eye insurance coverage you may be able to get a high end brand frame at a reduced cost. Prescription sunglasses are also available and are helpful when you need a prescription while driving so you can both see and focus your eyes clearly, and protect your eyes from the suns rays.
