Your vision changes throughout your life, so even if you’ve never worn glasses, chances are you could need them in the future. It might be time to have an eyeglass exam and have your vision checked if you experience:

Difficulty reading up close (farsightedness)

Poor distance vision (nearsightedness)

Frequent headaches

Blurred or double vision

Poor night vision

Depending on your vision and the symptoms you’re experiencing, you might only need reading glasses, or glasses to help you see distances while driving. If you have difficulty focusing on both near and far objects, you might benefit from bifocal or trifocal lenses. These lenses blend reading glasses and distance corrections all in one lens – trifocal lenses even correct intermediate distance vision issues. In many cases, men and women prefer progressive lenses, which combine multifocal lenses and multiple lens powers. This way you can see at all distances, without having noticeable lines or sections in your glasses.

Your comprehensive eyeglasses exam at Limberg Eye Surgery begins with an evaluation of your previous medical history and prior eyeglass prescription, if applicable. Most eye exams include:

Vision screening

Testing for visual acuity

Color blindness test

Eye function evaluation

Depth perception analysis

Depending on your eye health and family history, your dedicated optometrist could suggest further testing to evaluate your eye health. For instance, if you develop – or are at risk of developing – macular degeneration issues, you might need retinal photography. All testing is completed right in the office, so you can feel confident that your new glasses are going to be tailored to best suit your vision needs.

Your glasses prescription is generally valid for one year, meaning you can get new glasses at any time throughout the year with that specific prescription. This doesn’t mean, though, that your glasses won’t work after the year is up. Since Limberg Eye Surgery offer high-quality ZEISS lenses, as well as independent and designer frames — and even prescription sunglasses — you can expect your eyewear to last for an extended period of time. Some of the most popular eyeglasses lines available include:

MYKITA

MODO

Eco

Barton Perreira

ProDesign

Vernon Gantry

The team at Limberg Eye Surgery generally recommend that all adults have an eye exam annually. This way if you do need changes to your eyeglass prescription, they can update it — you might even be able to reuse your current quality frames. Or if your vision hasn’t changed at all, you might be able to continue wearing the glasses you have.
