At Eye 1st Vision Center in Sandy Springs, GA, we know that choosing the right pair of eyeglasses involves more than just picking a frame that looks good. You may have questions about lenses, prescriptions, or how to care for your glasses. We're here to provide clear answers and help you make confident choices for your vision and lifestyle.
What Types of Lenses Are Available?
Lenses come in different styles and materials. Single vision lenses correct one field of vision, while progressive lenses help with near and distance vision in one lens. Materials like polycarbonate or high-index plastic can make them lighter and more comfortable.
How Often Should I Get New Eyeglasses?
Most people benefit from updating their glasses every one to two years. If your vision changes or your frames feel uncomfortable, it may be time for a new pair. An annual eye exam can help ensure your prescription stays up to date.
What Do the Numbers on My Prescription Mean?
Your prescription includes details about how your lenses should be made. These numbers show how much correction is needed for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or reading. Our eye doctors will walk you through each part during your visit.
Can I Get Lenses That Block Blue Light?
Yes. Blue light filtering lenses help reduce eye strain from screens. They are especially helpful if you work on a computer or use digital devices for long periods.
How Do I Choose the Right Frame for My Face?
Our team will help you find frames that fit well and flatter your face shape. We’ll also make sure the frames support your lenses and suit your daily needs.
How Should I Clean and Store My Eyeglasses?
To keep your glasses in good shape, use a gentle, lens-safe cleaner with a microfiber cloth. Tissues and household products can scratch or damage the lens coating, so it’s best to avoid these. When you're not wearing your glasses, store them in a protective case to prevent wear and tear.
