What are glasses?

Glasses consist of clear lenses and frames that correct poor vision to help you see clearly. Rosenberg Eye Center Inc offers glasses and contact lenses to correct vision irregularities, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. 

If you’re unable to see well from near or far distances, see the specialists at Rosenberg Eye Center Inc for an eye exam.

Which vision problems can glasses correct?

Glasses can correct the following refractive errors:

• Farsightedness: objects that are far away appear clear, but close-up objects are blurry
• Nearsightedness: objects far away are blurry, but objects close up appear clear
• Presbyopia: trouble focusing on objects that are up close, often caused by aging
• Astigmatism: near and far-away objects may appear blurry
• Double vision: seeing two images of one object

The experts at Rosenberg Eye Center Inc help determine which vision error you might have during a comprehensive eye evaluation. 

Which eyeglass lenses are best suited for me?

You’ll require an eye exam at Rosenberg Eye Center Inc to determine which glasses prescription can best correct your vision. Your eye doctor examines your eyes using a special light to look for signs of potential concerns. You’ll also complete near and far vision testing, color vision testing, and peripheral vision tests. 

You’ll read an eye chart from a distance and look through various lenses to help your specialist find the right vision correction prescription. You might also need a dilated eye exam or eye imaging procedures. 

Different types of glasses include:

• Multifocal glasses: multiple prescriptions combined into one lens
• Single vision glasses: lenses containing a single prescription
• Bifocals: lenses containing two different prescriptions 
• Trifocals: three prescriptions in one lens
• Reading glasses: single vision lenses that enhance near vision
• Progressive lenses: lenses with gradual prescription changes from top to bottom
• Prism lenses: lenses that treat double vision

The Rosenberg Eye Center Inc experts determine which lenses can best correct your vision. They also allow you to pick out your glasses frames. 

How often should I schedule glasses eye exams?

Schedule eye exams at Rosenberg Eye Center Inc every 1-2 years or as instructed by your eye doctor. Schedule vision screenings anytime you notice new vision changes or symptoms of an eye disease or damage, such as eye pain, headaches, or light sensitivity.
