Is It Time to Update Your Eyeglass Prescription?

There are three main criteria eye doctors often use to determine whether you need new eyeglasses or not. These three are comfort, function and fashion. For comfort and functionality reasons, upgrading your prescription is usually not optional. Fashion, however, is a good way of giving yourself a fresh new look without too much effort.

It can be hard to determine for users to know when they need new eyeglasses, particularly if they don’t come in for regular eye exams with their optometrists. Here are a few pointers on when to update your eyeglass prescription.

Functionality

In orthokeratology, or ortho-k, gas-permeable overnight contact lenses are used to temporarily and painlessly reshape the corneas for vision correction. This suggests that the quality of your vision can change over time. So, if it has been a while since you last consulted with your eye doctor for a prescription update, make an appointment right away.

Comfort

An up-to-date prescription can also make a world of difference when it comes to your comfort level. If you notice your eyes straining a little bit too hard or your vision getting just a bit blurry from your eyeglasses, then your prescription may no longer be accurate. Poor-quality eyeglasses can also cause some pain like headaches and dizziness. Avoid these problems by updating your glasses at least once every few years.

Fashion

The advent of orthokeratology and other modern vision correction techniques mean that the world of optometry is constantly changing. So, if you wish to reinvent yourself with a new frame design, you’re free to do so. This is completely optional, however, as the change will likely be for aesthetics. Some patients find it rewarding to get new frames at the same time they update their prescriptions.

My first eye exam in fifteen years. I am so thankful that I found Insight Vision Center. Dr. Lam and staff made me feel like a welcome guest. My eye exam revealed very minor blurriness and Dr. Lam did not pressure me into purchasing eyewear for a condition not necessitating glasses… yet. Maybe next year? I am getting older. They took my VSP insurance. Yay!

Dr. Lam and staff are amazing. Every phone call or interaction is friendly. You can feel the smiles and joy over whatever mode of communication you are interacting with them. Dr. Lam is very knowledgeable and helps you to better understand everything that is going on with your eyes. She made me aware of potential problems I may have with my eyes and walked me through every step of the process. She helped me understand the various factors that could be causing my vision to be a little impaired and followed up with me as I had to see an ophthalmologist. Great team, great office.
