HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY EYES EXAMINED?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a general rule of thumb, you need to have an eye exam once per year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For adults annual eye exams are important because your vision can change over time due to aging, medication, and overall health factors. When you get older, the lenses of your eyes can lose flexibility and make it difficult to read up close. Certain health conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, can also have an impact on your vision. With changing vision, your prescription may increase or decrease, which is why it\u2019s necessary to know how often you should go to the eye doctor if you wear glasses or contact lenses. This is also true for children, but the vision may change because of normal growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your daily environment also plays a role in your eye health. If you work with technology and electronics on a regular basis, you may exhibit symptoms of digital eye strain, including blurry vision, dry eyes, or eye fatigue. Anytime you experience these symptoms, schedule an appointment with one of our highly skilled optometrists. In some cases, such as this one, you may need to see an eye doctor sooner than your next annual exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For contact lenses wearers, annual eye exams are required in order to refill you prescription for addition supplies of lenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Q. WHY IS BUYING EYEGLASSES ONLINE A BAD IDEA?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are three reasons why buying glasses online can be risky.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> The accuracy of the glasses may not be exactly correct.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying glasses online is a risky proposition because the consumer has to manually enter their prescription into the website. The is rarely, if ever, a double check on the accuracy of your prescription.\u00a0 Most online sites don\u2019t even require you to submit your prescription or provide a doctor\u2019s contact information. This can lead to prescriptions being incorrectly applied to glasses.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Quality Suffers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You get what you pay for\u2014many online retailers use the cheapest materials available. For consumers, this means that glasses could quickly break or could even cause skin reactions because of questionable material. Additionally, it can be hard to resolve complaints with online orders\u2014especially if the company is located overseas.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Improper Fit<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glasses that fit properly are just as important as having the correct prescription. When buying glasses online, you have to rely on frame specifications to see how big they are, and even if you can try them on first-what do you know about fitting eyewear. Additionally, many sites ask you to measure your own Pupillary Distance (PD) which is an extremely important measurement to have and also easy to miscalculate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The professionals at Wavecrest Optical Shop have years of experience in the selection and proper fitting of quality, precision eyewear.\u00a0 You only have one pair of eyes, so treat them with care.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Q. WHAT ARE THE WARNING SIGNS THAT A CHILD MIGHT NEED GLASSES?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common signs that a child has a vision problem that requires corrective eyewear include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consistently sitting too close to the TV or holding a book too close<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Losing his or her place while reading<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a finger to follow along while reading<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Squinting<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tilting the head to see better<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent eye rubbing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensitivity to light<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive tearing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closing one eye to read, watch TV or see better<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoiding activities that require near vision, such as reading or homework, or distance vision, such as participating in sports or other recreational activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complaining of headaches or tired eyes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receiving lower grades in school than usual<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule an appointment with our eye Doctor if your child exhibits any of these signs.\u00a0 Wavecrest Optical sees children ages 6 and above.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Q.
