Prescription Eyeglasses: More
Than Meets The Eye.
When you are prescribed a medication from a doctor, the
little slip of paper you give your pharmacist contains all the information
needed to prepare a proper dosage of the right medicine for your particular
condition.
But you get much more with that little slip of paper. You
also get how—and why—your particular medicine treats your condition. You get use
and care instructions to help you understand your prescription. Even a list of
possible side effects should the prescription upset your body’s delicate
balance.
Your vision is unique. So are your prescription glasses.
A prescription for eyeglasses works in a similar manner,
but specifically for your eyes. If your eye care professional determines you
need prescription glasses after an eye exam, the process starts with a written
prescription. But that slip of paper actually addresses a whole new world of
needs you now have to maintain your healthy sight.
This section gives you the distinct details and information
you need to actually understand your prescription eyeglasses. Just like with
other medications, prescription glasses are developed for you and you alone—a
unique “dose” of eye care that will help you see better, and feel better based
on your unique vision problem.
There are many conditions that affect healthy sight—and
more specialized lens products and choices—than ever before. Understanding
what’s available to you based on your condition will explain your prescription
eyeglasses in ways you’ve never imagined.
