• Do I need to email my eye prescription when shopping glasses online?

  You don't have to emali your eye prescription when you want to order glasses online. At the online optical store, you will enter a web page where you will find a bunch of blanks. Then you are asked to fill in the blanks with your prescription information. Then they will know what your prescription is.

  I once wore my friend's prescription glasses (he is -5.00 in both eyes) and I feel a big dizziness and can't see things clear.I think if you wear the prescription glasses which you don't need for a long time,your vision would surely get worse and finally end up with wearing glasses.

  You'd better have an eye exam first.If the change is slightly,you are not supposed to feel much uncomfortable.It is possibly that you are having other eye problems.So visit your doctor first.
