Common Mistakes in Using Glasses and Their Solutions

Glasses, in addition to correcting vision problems, have now become a fashion accessory. However, if not used correctly, we can make some mistakes that can negatively affect our eye health. Here are the common mistakes and solutions regarding glasses:



Wrong Glasses Selection


  • Using incorrectly prescribed glasses:  Your eye number should be checked regularly and your glasses should be adjusted accordingly. Using incorrectly prescribed glasses can cause problems such as headaches, eye strain and decreased vision quality.


  • Choosing the wrong frame for your face shape:  The eyeglass frame should be suitable for your face shape. Choosing the wrong frame can disrupt the proportions of your face and cause discomfort.


  • Poor quality material:  Glasses made of cheap and poor quality materials can threaten your eye health and become deformed in a short time.


Solution:  See an eye doctor regularly, get your glasses from an optician, and choose frames made of quality materials that suit your face shape.


Eyeglass Care


  • Using dirty glasses:  Dirty glasses reduce the quality of vision and can cause eye infections.


  • Rubbing eyeglass lenses on hard surfaces:  Rubbing eyeglass lenses on hard surfaces can cause scratches and therefore reduce vision quality.


  • Do not leave your glasses in hot places:  Glasses left in hot places may become deformed.


Solution:  Clean your glasses regularly with a microfiber cloth, avoid rubbing them on hard surfaces, and keep them away from hot places.


Glasses Usage Habits


  • Lack of care when removing and putting on glasses:  Be careful when removing and putting on glasses, you may cause the frames to deform.


  • Don't put glasses on top of your head:  Putting glasses on top of your head can cause the stems to loosen and the lenses to get scratched.


  • Carrying glasses in your pocket:  Carrying glasses in your pocket can scratch the lenses and deform the frames.


Solution:  When removing your glasses, hold them with both hands, avoid placing them on top of your head, and carry them using a glasses case.


Use of Sunglasses


  • Using sunglasses without UV protection:  Sunglasses without UV protection do not protect the eyes from the sun's harmful rays and may even cause further damage.


  • Misconception that all dark sunglasses have UV protection:  The color of the sunglasses is not related to their UV protection. Be sure to choose sunglasses with UV protection.


Solution:  Always wear sunglasses with UV protection and change them regularly.

Remember:  See an eye doctor regularly to ensure your eye health and use your glasses correctly.
