Adjustable Eyeglasses: Are they worth it?

As one grows older, they develop eyesight issues. However, others suffer from these problems from an early age. Wearing the right eyeglasses is essential to maintaining eyesight. Not wearing the right eyeglasses can cause many problems. Headaches, dizziness, blurry vision, squinting, and worsening eyesight are some of the resulting issues caused by this.

Traditional glasses have a particular lens, the specs of which cannot change. You might have seen adjustable focus eyeglasses available online and in the market. These eyeglasses are for people with:

  • myopia (nearsightedness),
  • hyperopia (farsightedness),
  • presbyopia (nearsightedness in middle-aged and older people), and
  • astigmatism (nearsightedness and farsightedness).

These are also more commonly known as refractive errors.

So are adjustable glasses worth it?

Benefits of using adjustable glasses

If you are wearing glasses for style points, you may not want to consider adjustable eyeglasses because they may feel bulky (though they are light in weight). However, if you are using these for your eyesight, they offer many benefits.

These are as follows:

Eyesight in adulthood

With age, the lens in our eyes hardens, which leads to issues with eyesight. Between the ages of 20 to 30, the eyesight is healthy. However, as we grow older beyond this age, the need for eyeglasses increases. Even if a person had 20/20 vision for most of their lives, they find themselves in need of glasses in later adulthood. According to the National Eye Institution (NEI), those people in the age of 40 and above are susceptible to refractive errors (such as presbyopia).

Exposure to electronic devices

In our day and age, we expose our eyes to digital devices. Digital devices, such as smartphones, laptops, computers, TV screens, tablets, and others, emit blue light. Overexposure to blue light damages the light-sensitive cells in the retina of the eyes. Adjustable eyeglasses filter blue light to prevent permanent damage to our eyes.

Treating astigmatism

For people suffering from nearsightedness and farsightedness, adjustable glasses offer a solution for both conditions. You can change the focus of each lens to make sure that your vision is not compromised. Some adjustable focus glasses have a tuning dial, which allows you to change the focus at the touch of your fingertips. Moreover, each frame is flexible. You can move it left or right to adjust it to your eyes.

Comfort and robust

Although eyeglasses help in improving vision and avoid further deterioration of eyesight, most of these are not comfortable for wear. On the other hand, adjustable eyeglasses, such as equal plus glasses, offer comfortable nose pads that let the glasses sit comfortably on the bridge of your nose.

Saves cost

Eyesight is not static; it changes with time. If you notice that your glasses are compromising your vision, you may need new glasses. Every couple of years, you may find yourself back at the optician for a new set of glasses. To avoid this problem, adjustable glasses can save costs.

Conclusion

As we have seen, there are many advantages to using eyeglasses to maintain your vision. Whether you suffer from myopia or hyperopia, these glasses offer solutions for all.
