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.
