Saucer asked:


Do they really work in preventing eyesight deterioration for people who are dependent on lenses to see? Is there really a conspiracy with optometrist/optical groups who make their money selling people glasses to downplay the usefulness of pinhole eyeglasses? I’m just curious.

I’m ordering eyeglasses on Ebay cause they are much cheaper there than at an actual eyewear store. And I don’t know my size. I need to order them now before the bid is closed. Can anybody tell me how I can know my size. The size for the ones i am getting is a 54/16/135 is that for a small head or a big head?

DSu asked:


I wear BTE hearing aids and eyeglasses. I think each of them are designed to fit on top of the ear, without any other device on the ear. As it is, my ears get tired from having both devices on them. And if I were to wear on-the-ear headphones, my ears would be even more tired. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how do you deal with it?

Dani L asked:


I have scratches on the inside of my glasses. I’m not sure what happend. It looks like someone (probably my kids) tried to clean them with steel wool. The only other thing that they may have come in contact with was the chemicals from my hair relaxer kit.
Any suggestions?

kylechonghokim asked:


Before the prescription was filled, the frame fit snug around my temple on my face, but after the lenses were fit, it fits way too loose and I am now constantly having to push my eyeglasses up to my face. How can this be corrected? BTW I had this done at lenscrafters, will they fix it for free?

I’ve always added moisture with my breath then wiped my eyeglasses with my cotton shirt but they eventually get scratched.
I had a eyeglass cleaning kit but I would forget to bring it along at times and when your glasses are really dirty you have no choice but to use the old fashion shirt cleaning method.

Oh, and I always store my glasses in a safe place when I am not wearing them.
I have the anti-glare coating on my glasses so I think I wasn’t able to get the scratch-resistant coating put on. I’m going to my eye doctor to get new lenses put on to my frames since they are still under the 1 year warranty period.

lc1967 asked:


I’ve been wearing contacts for most of my life. But now I have an astigmatism and the lenses to correct it sometimes shift, causing blurry vision. I’m afraid this will happen while I’m driving. Laser surgery is too expensive right now, so I’m thinking of getting eyeglasses to use while driving. My concern is that the glasses will interfere with my peripheral vision. Not a problem most of the time, but will it affect my driving?

Leka asked:


I have a really awesome pair of cat eyeglasses, but the lenses don’t match my eyes. I just basically want to use to frames, but put new prescription lenses into it. Do Lenscrafters do this, and how much would it be?
