Eye Exam and Glasses
A few months ago, I went to a local eye doctor to get a comprehensive full eye examination to evaluate more than just my vision but to also check for common eye conditions like glaucoma, cataract, and diabetic retinopathy, along with the overall eye health and visual acuity. Plus to have a Vision Specialist doctor fill out a required Vision Screening form so that I could renew my drivers license online. Everything was filled out properly including (PD) Pupillary Distance the distance in millimeters (mm) between the center of one pupil to the center of the other. I am now in the process of getting new glasses. Now I am trying to decide on ordering from a store since I would like to try them on first.
Many years ago, we did Mystery Shops (to save money) at various Lenscrafters Eye Glass Stores
in and around our area and was able to get several pairs made in store in about an hour or more.
Lenscrafters no longer fills prescription eyewear in store, but will help you place your order at your local store.
QUESTION: What is Blue Light ? Is it worth ADDING BLUE-VIOLET LIGHT FILTERING TO YOUR GLASSES?
Note: The blue-turquoise light (between 460-500 nm) from your digital display may keep you awake.
Blue-Violet Light filtering helps reduce your exposure to blue-violet light from natural and artificial sources.
I am in the process of learning about the quaility of various lenses and buying the perfect pair of glasses.
