Prescription glasses: for what uses?
Prescription glasses are medical devices worn on the recommendation of a healthcare professional. Most often, they are used to correct a vision problem. For some, the goal is to improve distance vision, while others need eyeglasses to see up close. In the first case, the patient is myopic, while in the second, he is hyperopic. For their part, people with blurred or distorted vision suffer from astigmatism. Here again, prescription glasses present themselves as a durable solution for having clear vision. Furthermore, they are often unavoidable with age, knowing that eyesight naturally diminishes gradually.
If you do not suffer from vision problems, you can wear prescription glasses to reduce vision. They are particularly useful in cases of prolonged exposure to screens, sensitivity to sunlight, etc. If necessary, get help from your optician Lissac to find the right device.

How do you know if you need to wear prescription glasses?
While some vision problems are detected and treated in childhood, others appear later. In this case, any change should alert you and prompt you to consult an ophthalmologist. These symptoms are some of the most common and indicate that you may need to wear prescription glasses:
- Recurrent headaches, usually due to eye fatigue;
- Difficulty reading or seeing in low light;
- Blurred vision, i.e. difficulty distinguishing objects from far away or up close;
- Pain in the eye, mainly stinging or tearing.
In children, eye problems can be detected by regular rubbing or blinking of the eyes. In the absence of long-term treatment, academic difficulties may appear.
