Glasses and contact lenses aim for 20/20 vision, meaning clear sight at 20 feet. If they don’t help you achieve this, your prescription might be wrong, or you may have an underlying issue. An eye exam by an optometrist can check for refractive errors like astigmatism or hyperopia to improve your visual acuity.
Your glasses prescription specifies the power of the lenses needed to correct these errors. However, the prescription may not fully account for other visual factors, such as eye health and alignment issues. Some individuals may experience problems with depth perception or peripheral vision, which glasses cannot correct.
Furthermore, the quality and design of the lenses also play a role in how well they can address vision deficiencies. Not all prescriptions can achieve perfect vision, depending on the complexity of the eye’s issues.
Understanding these limitations is crucial for managing your expectations about corrective eyewear. Next, we will explore alternative vision correction methods that may enhance visual acuity and improve overall eye health.
