Your Trendy Reading Glasses May be Bad for Your Eyes


As I clicked on close-up photos of trendy reading glasses on several websites, I saw some pieces of eye wear that matched my bags and shoes, and maybe worth my time to think about should I decide to buy additional pieces of fashion accessories.  Trendy reading glasses in stylish colors and designs give more definition to fashion that it's no longer a surprise why they are no longer listed as mere vision aids, but as fashion accessories.

And since they are now used as fashion accessories, even kids in school uniforms are using them to spruce up their sense of style (and perhaps their IQ). 

If you have kids who want to sport the whiz look (come on, we did it too!), but do not have the need to correct their vision yet, please discourage them.  Wearing a pair of reading glasses just for fashion purposes might do them more harm than good.  When in doubt, it is better to encourage your children to see their doctor for an eye exam before they place an order for a pair of trendy reading glasses from an online store.

 Why See a Doctor

Only an eye doctor can determine if your child's symptoms (if any) are caused by a weakening vision or by other underlying conditions. Even adults can benefit from an eye exam; diabetes can manifest symptoms of blurry vision that only a trained professional can detect.  Glaucoma, a serious eye condition, may be treated during its early stage.  However, if you skip visits to the doctor, your condition can worsen and may cost you your eyesight.

Not All Glasses are Created Equal

Buying a pair of trendy reading glasses on the internet without an eye exam is risky.  It's like taking drugs without prescription; you can suffer from allergies.  Your vision should be evaluated by your doctor to determine the diopter strength of your eyes.  Buying a pair of trendy reading glasses without this accurate information can harm your eyes, and you waste money on ineffective reading glasses.

Do not forego an eye exam.  See your doctor today.
