December 26, 2022
You’ve probably seenall types of eyewear availablefor bargain prices online or in discount stores. It may look like you’re getting a quality product, but these deals aren’t always what they appear to be.
You may be wondering what the potential downsides are of wearing cheap glasses. In this post, the team at Access Eye discusses how wearing cheap eyewear can hurt your eyes and cause other problems.
Damage Caused by Cheap Sunglasses
Saving money by buying cheap sunglasses may be a bad idea. That’s because the amount of ultraviolet (UV) ray protection you receive could be compromised, potentially causing damage to your eyes.
You won’t be able to tell the quality of the sunglasses just by looking at them or trying them on. If you don’t consult a trusted eye care professional, you may end up putting your eyes at risk to save a few dollars.
Eyestrain from Cheap Reading Glasses
If you frequently use reading glasses for work or pleasure, it’s worth the investment to get a high-quality pair that suits your needs. Cheap pairs you buy online may not be the right power and could cause eyestrain after prolonged use.
Your eye doctor may recommend a pair based on your needs and the type of activities you’ll be performing.
Not Customized to Your Needs
Without a qualified eye doctor to assist you, you’ll be left on your own to find the right pair of eyeglasses. This could lead to buyer’s remorse if you choose a pair of glasses that doesn’t make you look, feel, and see your best.
Comfort, scratch resistance, appearance, and durability all need to be considered when selecting your frame and lenses. You should also understand the quality of the different materials that can be used because cheaper frames could irritate your skin.
It’s easy to get confused or overwhelmed with so many factors to think about. Talking to a trusted eye expert can make the process much more enjoyable and less stressful.
