What to Expect When You Start Wearing Eyeglasses Instead of Contact Lens

There are so many fashionable and comfortable eyeglass frames on the market today that many people are making the switch from contact lenses to eyeglasses in Halifax. At Bedford Eye Care, we’ve helped many individuals make the switch, and we’ll talk about what to expect when you change from one to the other.

Studies show that people who wear eyeglasses are perceived as more intelligent and successful. With that in mind, you may find yourself being sought out for advice and answers more than before.

You can expect your eye health to improve when you switch to glasses from contacts. Glasses allow more oxygen to your corneas, which reduces red eyes, discomfort, and temporary blurred vision. Also, you won’t have to worry about dry eyes. 

At the end of a long day of working on a computer or staring at a smartphone, your eyes will be less tired, red, or irritated.

Eyeglasses are cheaper overall than contact lenses because you don’t need solutions and drops in addition to a lens prescription.

Glasses give you more freedom compared to contacts because you don’t need to carry around solutions and lens cases.

Eight Tips to Care for and Clean Your Prescription Designer Frame Eyeglasses

Glasses are an investment in your vision care and quality of life. You use them daily, so it’s best to take perfect care of them. The staff at Bedford Eye Care knows all about designer frames in Halifax, and we’re providing valuable tips, so your glasses remain in excellent condition. These eight tips are the keys to maintaining your eyeglass:

• Make sure you wash your glasses often. Clean lenses equal clear vision.
• When you do clean your glasses, start by rinsing them with water. This removes dust and dirt that can be abrasive.
• If you use spray cleaners, be certain to use one made for eyeglasses. These are much gentler on the lens than household sprays.
• Once you’ve cleaned your eyeglasses and designer frames, let them air dry.
• If you opt to dry them with a cloth, use one that’s soft and lint-free. Don’t use paper towels, toilet paper, or napkins.
• Grip your designer frames by the nose piece when cleaning your glasses. This prevents you from bending them.
• Store your glasses properly in a case or microfiber pouch.
• Never place your glasses down on the lenses. If you do, they’ll get scratched.
