• What is an home remedy for an itchy and red eye?

  Try to wash her eyes with saline water and put an ice bag on them. Don't rub them. It is better to see an doctor as soon as possible.

• Why do I feel dizzy when wearing sunglasses?

  It is quite an odd problem. You can try to wear polarized sunglasses to see if you still feel dizzy. I have seen people also feel dizzy when wearing regular sunglasses but feel good with polarized sunglasses.

• Can I add a nose pad to my eyeglasses?

  Unfortunately you can't. I guess your glasses must be plastic frames without nose pad. There is no way to add nose pad as they are made together with the frame. You need to change for mental frame with a nose pad.

• Why does the nose pad in my eyeglasses turn green?

  If your frame is mental, it can be caused by oxidation. Most mental frames contain bronze, the air and sweats make it oxidize and finally turn green. You should keep your glasses dry especially when you sweat a lot.

• Can the magnet on clip-on sunglasses do harm to you?

  There is no record showing that the magnetic field can do harm to our eyes or brain. If you have doubt in them, just don't wear them .

• Can I have lasik surgery with strong prescription?

  Laser surgery can't improve your vision to a satisfactory level if you have strong prescription. You can talk to your doctor and figure out other way to improve your vision.

• Why does my child blink frequently after wearing glasses?

  I think it has nothing to do with wearing glasses. Blinking frequently may be a sign of conjunctivitis. People with squinting eyes can also have such problem. It is better to take him to see the doctor and find out the problem.

• Can I fix broke nose pad in an eyeglass frame?

  Yes, you can fix it by yourself with a repair kit which usually contains mini screwdrivers, screws, nose pads, small magnifying glass and a wipe cloth. You can buy it in an optical store. I have repaired many of my own glasses in this way.
