VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron PLANO ARE HARDLY PLAIN OLD Why would anyone wear eyeglasses if he or she did not need prescription lenses to correct their vision? The easy answer is fashion. Many individuals wear eyeglasses having lenses with no visual correcting power, called "plano lenses," to project an image, make a fashion statement, or complement their wardrobe. Otherwise, eyeglasses with tinted plano lenses can be worn to filter out certain light wavelengths, such as the blue light emitted by electronic devices that may cause eye strain. Tinted plano glasses are also used to hide unflattering wrinkles around the eyes and bags under the eyes. Lastly, there are those who wear eyeglasses with plano lenses simply because they want to project a more academic image. What's your reason? Although the price of plano lenses are about the same as normal prescription lenses, wearing a pair of plano lenses is the only safe way to wear non-corrective lenses. Plano lenses offer a variety of protective coatings, such as anti-scratch. They also block out harmful UV lighting. When it's time to make the all-important choice for the best frames to fit your budget and style, look to SKOWRON EYE CARE! At Skowron Eye Care, your 20/20 vision is our mission. P.S. Tinted plano glasses can be used by hobbyists to improve their vision, much in the way that hunters wear amber or yellow lenses in low-light conditions to make their environment appear brighter.
