• Do your eyes get worse if you wear your reading glasses all the time?

  The factors that can affect vision are genes, long term exposure to intense light, PH balance, cholesterol levels, and vascular health, etc. All of these factors can not be changed through the eye exercises. The eye exercises are used to strengthen the muscles around the eyes which has little to do with eyesight.Therefore doing eye exercises has nothing to do with natural perfect eyesight.

• Do reading glasses help when watching tv too or is that too far away?

  No. Reading glasses cannot help when watching TV because reading glasses are used for close up work, like reading or sewing. While you sit too far when you watch TV. If you find things blurry while watching TV, then glasses for distance is needed because you may suffer myopia. In this case, you'd better go to see an eye doctor and have an eye exam. Then the doctor will prescrible a pair of glasses that fit you properly.

• Is it bad to put reading glasses when not needed?

  There are a lot of factors that determine potential harm from wearing reading glasses you don't need or do not match your eyes. Some individuals that wear non-prescribe Creaders often do so using the wrong power. If too much power is used, and used often, it can decrease the person's natural power to focus. At the Dr Lee Eye Center we have many individuals (typically the 44 y/o male) who has worn Cdime-store readers that were too strong and now their eyes focus like a 60 y/o.
  WARNING: CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER USE THESE TYPE OF READERS.

• Questions about prescription for distance, computer and reading? Help!

  It is not necessary for your wife to have a new eye exam and a new prescription seperate for single vision, because the numbers needed for single vision lenses are included in the prescription for progressives. You just need to show the doctor the RX paper of your wife and tell exactly what you want to seperately, for distance, computer and reading. In fact, a pair of progressives can do all the functions, including glasses for distance, computer and reading, and it is much more convenient to wear.
