Frequently Asked Questions About Eyeglasses

When you are interested in wearing glasses, you may have a few questions about them before you make your selection. If you are looking for glasses, you will need to see an eye doctor to receive an eye exam to determine your prescription strength. Our optometrists at Uptown Eyecare provide quality eye care and eyewear products for patients in and around Hunters Creek, Lake Nona, and Orlando, FL. Let’s take a look at some of the common questions that our eye doctors run into regarding glasses.
 

What Are the Advantages of Eyeglasses?

Glasses are quick and easy to put on and take off. They do not take any practice to be able to use them. They are good for people of all ages and they are quite durable. Many people like the way they look when they wear glasses.
 

What Are the Disadvantages of Eyeglasses?

They get dirty easily and have to be cleaned often. They also do not give you peripheral vision correction.
 

How Do I Choose My Eyeglasses?

It's important to choose the right frames so that you can complement your look. Start by choosing a color. Hold up a few frame colors next to both your face and hair to make sure the color goes well with them. Then, you need to choose a shape. Looking at frames that are the right color for you, notice that some frames are square, some are round, etc. Choose one that makes your face look more ovular. If your face is round, you can choose ovals or rectangles to make your face look longer and more like an oval. Try on a few shapes to see which ones go the best with your face's shape.
