Do’s and Don’ts of Fitting Glasses

When fitting glasses, patients need to pay attention to the regular hospital for optometry, accurate measurement of refractive error and pupillary distance, to choose the right glasses prescription and lenses.
One of the things that must be done before the glasses are dispensed is the optometry, which can detect the degree of the patient’s eyes and the pupillary distance, according to these data, in order to dispense accurate glasses, if the pupillary distance is not allowed, the patient can experience dizziness, glare, nausea and other discomforts after wearing glasses.
When choosing the number of degrees, usually add or subtract some degrees according to the degree measured by the optometry, and the exact amount should be determined according to the comfort level of your own wearing.
When choosing lenses, pay attention to the lens material, thickness, etc., the higher the prescription, the thinner the lenses need to match to reduce the pressure of glasses on the nose. In daily life, dirty lenses should be washed with water and not wiped with cloth, which will easily lead to scratches on the lenses, thus decreasing the amount of light transmittance and interfering with the patient’s vision.
It is recommended that myopic patients visit a regular hospital to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and care.
