Do i really need glasses? (.75 prescription)??
Question: I went to the eye dr yesterday because I had not had an exam in 15 years. I've always had excellent vision but I figured it was about time. While there I was told I may need glasses (.75) for reading only because I had a little problem focusing. I had the prescription filled but i honestly can't tell much of a difference. Sure they make things bigger but that kind of gives me a headache and things really aren't that clear. My distance vision was 20/15 which is better than normal. I can take the glasses back and get a full refund but I'm having a hard time deciding. Thanks for your help
Answers: no mine is -3.75 now THAT requires a prescription, if i were you i would get a pair just in case but i wouldn't worry about it and honestly probably would never wear them.. but thats just me..
No you don't. You sight is not that bad. Mines is like starryeyed. So I can totally understand why we should be wearing our glasses/contacts lol.
you must be far-sighted then. +0.75 is quite low. but don't you find it easier to read with your glasses on and that your eyes get tired when you read without them? i would suggest you use the glasses
i would just get lasik. becuse it is silly wearing glasses for that small of a reason and put contacts in and out is not worth it either.
A +.75 is kind of a take it or leave it prescription. If you were having major issues with reading prior to getting the Rx then I would say give it sometime to get over the initial headache and possible nausea feeling the glasses may cause. However, if you have not had an issue with your up close vision and you do not see improvement with the glasses maybe you can wait it out a couple more years.
Do your optician a favor and try using the glasses as much as possible for the next two weeks, though. It takes about that long to get used to a new prescription and then you are making an informed decision rather than a knee jerk one.
By the way, do not listen to answers like what you got from the previous posters. I'm not being rude but some people really see huge improvement with correction for a low prescription while others don't. It is very individual.
