5 myths about glasses
It doesn't matter if they are prescription, sunglasses, or a mix of both. Glasses are that essential item that we can't leave home without. It's about health and beauty, they have it all!
We tell you
1 – If I see well I don’t need to go to the optician
It is advisable to visit the eye doctor regularly (at least once a year) for a check-up, regardless of whether you notice eye discomfort or vision loss.
2 – At the first signs of vision deficiency, it is better not to wear glasses
It is a widely held belief that wearing glasses increases diopters and thus creates dependency, when the truth is that not wearing them when necessary can lead to an even worse visual problem.
3 – When it’s not sunny I don’t need to wear sunglasses
40% of annual UV exposure is received on non-sunny days, that is, throughout the year, even in autumn and winter, since more than 90% of UV radiation passes through clouds.
4 – I just need to protect my eyes from UV rays
We are using more and more electronic screens (computers, tablets, smartphones, etc.) every day. These screens emit the so-called blue-violet light, which has recently been discovered to have harmful effects on the retina.
5 – The darker, the more it protects
The darker the lens of your sunglasses, the more protection they provide for your eyes. This will always depend on the level of treatment and UV protection that the optical lens has, as well as the type of plastic polymer in the lens.
