Yes, a pair of cheap reading glasses are harmful if there is a compromise with the quality of lenses and frames. But if your frames have features of all the big brand features. Then believe me. You are going for the right pair. While keeping a check on the fashion pairs and the new styles that are coming in is easy. But how will you know about the quality? And what are the checkpoints that your frames should go through before getting on your eyes?

Many of you are aware of the cons of having cheap reading glasses.

  • They can increase the power of your lenses: A poor quality brings more strain on the weak eyes. Thus, increasing the power of lenses.
  • You might feel allergic to the frame material if not of good quality: Bad plastics harm many. So always ask is the metal frame made of nickel? Always prefer a metal frame that fulfils the hypoallergic metal criterion. Also, the plastics are harmful too. Thus, go for an acetate pair.
  • Eye strains and frequent headaches will also be there: Droopy frames, ill-fits. So many problems are there with an improper frame.

So if at any point in time, you feel associated with any of the problems. Time to get new glasses. As your precious eyes should not go through any bad. Thus, while buying your reading glasses or with some other prescriptions. Keep some quality checks in mind.

  • Prefer frames of acetate: The plastic can harm your eyes at another level. The plastic frames can even cause allergies. And is even harmful to the environment. So get some acetate frames. That is made from plant cellulose. They are durable and light in weight too.
  • Get proper prescriptions: Going to some local stores has a risk of getting frames with the wrong prescription. So always get it done from the right store. Besides getting a normal vision test. A good prescription tells about your overall health too. As with your vision, there are other problems such as diabetes.
  • Get the premium quality lens: There are lenses according to your power. So getting the right lens. According to your power, the lens varies from being thin, very thin and then ultra-thin. For moderate powers, thin lenses are used. High prescriptions use very thin lenses. Whereas some extreme power numbers should get their glasses with the ultra-thin lenses. Always prefer fibre material in place of glass material. This will give you a durable and light feel. Your vision depends a lot on proper prescription. So get the right lens. That too of premium quality is very important.
  • The frame should fit properly: A proper fit of the frames matters a lot. Sloopy frames can fell easily. An improper fit will build so much strain on the nose and behind the ear area. Also, droopy frames give bad headaches and snatches away the look of overall personality.
  • A pair should suit your face: Often people think that they are should not their eyes framed. But misfits, headaches, eye strains, and cheap quality is the reason for such conclusions. Choose a frame according to your face shape. And some good eyewear stores are a big help for that.
  • Obviously, cost-effective: We all need eyeglasses that are cost-effective. Buying a pair that has sturdy features but too high in prices. Is a lesser choice of many. So having a cost-effective pair is highly recommended.
