Various lifestyles, occupations and activities require different types of lenses and frames. Matching your unique lifestyle needs with the appropriate eyewear will not only improve vision and protect your eyes, but also can enhance performance and increase comfort. Here’s what to consider:
PRESCRIPTION: Do you have a high prescription that might cause the lenses to be thick and heavy? Has there been a significant change in your prescription? Are you experiencing any trouble seeing? Does your prescription include both distance and reading powers?
USAGE: What type of activities do you participate in: sports, reading, driving, computer use, etc. Where do you use your eyewear and under what conditions?
