• Why I was suggested to use reading glasses?

  If you read for a long time and force your eyes to focus on the book , it may cause lack of oxygen to the brain and then you get a headache or feel dizzy . Also your eyes will feel strained and blurry . So it is better to get a pair of reading glasses to help you get the focus , then your eyes will feel relaxed as well as your head . Also taking eye exercise will be good for your eyes .

• What are the reading glasses shade up when you go outside?

  I think they're called transition glasses and only work under UV radiation. These dynamic eyeglass lenses are designed to be worn indoors and automatically adapt when you are in outdoors to give you a more comfortable viewing experience while providing eye protection from damaging UV light. The price difference between them and the regular reading glasses can vary from $10-$100 depending on the brands and material .

• Is there any online store where I can customize my lenses?

  Any opticl store that you go can make the customizd lenses into your frames.You can also take it back to Lenscrafters with your prescription .If you know prescription and size, you can choose the frames and the type of lenses online, then they will do the customized lenses for you and put the lenses into the frames properly.

• What can i do to avoid my swim goggles from fogging up?

  You can use an anti-fog spray or serum from goggle producers like Speedo or TYR. These are among the few goggle makers that create an anti-fog solution for goggles. Or spit into your goggles. By spitting or licking the inside lens of your goggles, you will create a barrier that prevents condensation. This is usually a temporary solution but is widely used.

• Is it normal for a 15 year old to have reading glasses?

  It is quite normal.I have even seen a 10-year-old girl wear reading glasses.I think it is the genetic factor that cause children to have bad vision.

• looking for reliable prescription eyeglasses online stores?

  Most of my glasses are got from Firmoo,and I don't have any unpleasant shopping experience so far. For new buyer,you can get any pair only paying the shipping cost.

• Is there a store that sells custom made eye glasses frames?

  Apart from the drug store or a dollar store, most of the optical stores which have optometrists and labs always can make custom eye glasses. You can go there and the optometrist will give you an exam and measure your size, then they will make glasses according to your prescription and size. Or you can order them online as long as you provide your prescription and size. However, I think you'd better buy the frames together with lenses because putting your original lenses into the custom made frames is difficult and that glasses cannot meet your need. Hope helps you.
