Eyewear FAQs

How often should I get an eye exam?

Most adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years. If you wear glasses or contacts, have diabetes, or are over 60, yearly exams are usually recommended.

How do I read my glasses prescription?

Your prescription lists sphere (SPH) for nearsightedness or farsightedness, cylinder (CYL) and axis for astigmatism, and ADD for reading power. Our guide walks through each number with examples.

Are blue light glasses worth it?

Evidence is mixed. They may reduce glare for some people, but good screen habits — the 20-20-20 rule, proper lighting, regular blinking — matter more for comfort.

Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Yes. Toric contact lenses are designed specifically for astigmatism. An eye doctor will fit them to your prescription during a contact lens exam.

Do kids need sunglasses?

Yes — children's eyes are more vulnerable to UV damage. Look for sunglasses labeled 100% UVA/UVB protection with a comfortable, secure fit.
