VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron and Dr. Michelle Skowron WHY DON'T MY NEW GLASSES WORK? If your new glasses don't improve your vision the way you were hoping, it's not always due to a faulty prescription, and several factors may be at play. Adjustments to new prescriptions take time-anywhere from three days to three weeks-especially if you've never had glasses before. Try wearing your glasses for short but increasing time periods each day until your eyes adjust and your vision looks clearer. If you suspect your glasses were made improperly, take them to the eye doctor who wrote the prescription before having the glasses remade. After checking to see if the prescription is wrong or if your vision has changed since your last visit, they can write a new prescription if needed. SKOWRON EYE CARE offers a large selection of high-end designer frames, eye glasses and sunglasses. We also offer a wide variety of contact lenses that are guaranteed to suit your individual needs. We can help you select the style, shape, and color of eye glasses or sun glasses that are right for you! When it's time to make the all-important choice for the best frames to fit your budget and style, look to us! At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision. P.S. Wearing a faulty eyeglass prescription will not hurt your vision, and wearing corrective lenses will not make your natural vision worse; however, a faulty prescription can increase nearsightedness in children.
