At UAE Optics, we understand the importance of clear vision and convenience. That's why we offer a quick service where you can get your glasses within 30 minutes after your eye test. Our efficient in-house lab ensures that your lenses are crafted with precision and speed, so you don’t have to wait long to start seeing clearly.
Yes, glasses are designed to correct vision by compensating for refractive errors in your eyes. Whether you are nearsighted (myopic), farsighted (hyperopic), have astigmatism, or presbyopia, glasses can provide the necessary correction to help you see clearly at various distances. The lenses in your glasses bend light in a way that it focuses correctly on your retina, improving your overall vision.
Absolutely! If you have a frame that you love and it’s still in good condition, you can simply replace the lenses with your new prescription. At UAE Optics, we can fit new lenses into most frames, allowing you to keep your favorite style while updating your vision. This option is not only convenient but also cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
It's recommended to have your eyes tested every one to two years, or as advised by your optometrist. Even if your prescription hasn’t changed significantly, your lenses can wear out, and frames may become less comfortable over time. Getting a new pair of glasses regularly ensures that your vision is always at its best and that your frames provide the comfort and style you need. If you experience changes in your vision, headaches, or discomfort, it’s best to schedule an eye exam sooner.
Your eyeglass prescription contains specific numbers that indicate the exact correction needed for each eye. Here’s a breakdown:
- OD (Oculus Dexter): Refers to the right eye.
- OS (Oculus Sinister): Refers to the left eye.
- Sphere (SPH): Indicates the lens power needed to correct nearsightedness (negative numbers) or farsightedness (positive numbers).
- Cylinder (CYL): Measures the lens power needed to correct astigmatism, which is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea.
- Axis: Refers to the orientation of the astigmatism correction in degrees (1 to 180).
- Add: If you have presbyopia, this number indicates the additional magnifying power needed for reading or other close work.
- PD (Pupillary Distance): The distance between your pupils, which helps to ensure that your lenses are positioned correctly in front of your eyes.
Understanding these numbers can help you better comprehend your vision needs and communicate with your optometrist or eyewear provider.
