Effects of wearing un prescribed glasses | 23rd March, 2018

Wearing non-prescription glasses is popular, but many worry whether this could affect the quality and clarity of our vision. A shorthand answer to this is: no.

 
Wearing non-prescription glasses is just like looking through a window. It has no effect on your vision and can not cause short- or long-sightedness, and also sure that with the rising popularity of different frame designs, more people will wish to wear glasses just for their looks.
 
Although non-prescription glasses do not damage the eyes, there are a couple of aspects that should be considered. “People are happy to spend money on quality frames, but often prefer the cheapest lenses that cause unpleasant reflections. I can not recommend this,” says Kadri Altküla.
 
The cheapest non-prescription lenses can cause ugly reflections in photographs and their inner reflections can also be uncomfortable for the wearer. “Invest the extra 20 euros and have your frames fitted with anti-reflective coated lenses,” she recommends.
 
Lenses come in a choice of coatings, for example a blue tinted coating reduces the amount of glare from electronic devices that causes eye fatigue. Your eyes will be thankful for the extra coating when you spend long periods working on a computer or watching television.
 
The popular belief that glasses weaken your eyes is a myth. If you wear glasses, chances are you have wondered from time to time if they are making your eyesight worse. Not while you are wearing them, but when you take them of In other words, it seems harder to read things without your glasses.
 
The wrong prescription may feel weird and it can even give you a headache if you wear them very long, but it will not damage your eyes. If your glasses have an old prescription, you might start to experience some eye strain. To see your best, do not wear anyones glasses.
