Updating Your Prescription

Everyone who wears eyeglasses, as well as contact lenses, may need to get a prescription update. The eyes change over time, and no matter how well a particular lens works at first solving a visual problem, eventually enough change occurs that a new prescription is needed. However, unlike what many people think that they won’t be able to find the eyeglasses they like anymore, there are multiple options available for that change in Orlando, FL, Hunters Creek, FL, Lake Nona, FL, and elsewhere nearby. Ideally, however, getting all the services under one roof makes the most sense. We at Uptown Eyecare may be able to help.
 

Yes, You Can Change the Lenses Only

When it comes to eyeglass prescriptions, the lens is a very different part from the frame. They are sold together, but in fact the two parts are fabricated differently. The lenses are what one sees through and affects your vision. The frames hold the lenses on the face and affect comfort. While it’s common to be presented with a new portfolio of frame choices, a FL patient can usually keep the frames they have and just have the lenses changed to a new prescription.
 

Symptoms Signaling a Prescription Change Is Needed

Just like when it started becoming hard to focus and maintain clear vision as the day wore on before the person started wearing eyeglasses, the same happens with old prescriptions. At first, the beginning of the day seems okay, but as the clock moves on, it becomes harder and harder to retain clarity. The eyes start to strain again, and watering becomes common. Reading really starts to shake and become fuzzy without effort, which is not how good eyeglasses should work. All these symptoms are signaling that the old prescription isn’t strong enough anymore for the current state of the eyes.
