How Do You Know If You Need Glasses? Steps Should You Take

The question of whether a person needs glasses in life cannot be answered that simply, as different factors can be responsible. On the one hand, it depends on the way people live, what they do for a living, how they spend their free time and how they eat in life.

If, for example, you work frequently and for a long time on the computer or in front of a screen, glasses can be very useful for people with very little ametropia, because a computer workstation places high demands on the eyes. On the other hand, a genetic predisposition can also be responsible for the necessity of celine glasses in a person’s life.

Checklist – do I need glasses?

Are you wondering if you need glasses? Many people only realize relatively late that they need glasses. However, the symptoms or the first signs can be recognized quite early. Necessary eye examinations are required.

You are on the safe side if you have yourself regularly checked by an ophthalmologist. They can recognize possible eye diseases or poor eyesight at an early stage and tell you how your eyes are doing and whether glasses are necessary.

But what symptoms indicate that you may need glasses? We have put some indicators together in a checklist for you so that you can check for yourself whether you need glasses.

Our TOP 10 indicators of whether you need glasses:

  • Dry eyes
  • Vision problems while driving a car
  • Vision problems when working on a PC
  • Small letters cannot be read
  • Frequent headache
  • Temporarily blurry or duplicate images
  • Difficulty reading newspapers
  • Vision problems in the dark
  • “Tired eyes” when working on the PC
  • Frequent blinking and squinting of the eyes

If one or more points apply to you, you should undergo an eye test at the ophthalmologist.

Glasses necessary – What does Pretavoir offer me?

In the past, buying new glasses was associated with high acquisition costs. The very affordable models were often referred to as “cash register models”! These weren’t exactly visually appealing.

With Pretavoir, however, it is now possible to buy fashionable glasses at a very affordable price-performance ratio, without having to save on the quality and features of glasses. In our shop there are glasses including prescription glasses from 34.90 EUR (including shipping) – The price includes thin glasses (index 1.56), super anti-reflective coating, extra hardening, clean coat and UV filter.

In addition, every model is also available as sunglasses at Pretavoir. When ordering your new sunglasses, you can fall back on 10 different tint variants and choose between a normal tint and a self-tint (photochromic lenses). After ordering, all glasses will be sent to you in a protective case.

The ideal size of glasses – selection of the right glasses width

Is your face narrow, medium, or wide? That is the basis and starting point for the next step. Because that is what the size of the glasses is based on. If you already have glasses, you can easily orientate yourself on your old model in terms of frame size and width. Simply measure your glasses from cheek to cheek to determine the width of the glasses.

Tip: Pretavoir has a search function on the website for you that helps you to find glasses in the same or similar glasses width. You can find the search function directly under the glasses width filter on the overview page of our glasses and sunglasses. You will also find detailed instructions on our service page on the subject of glasses size.

Below you will find further details and tips on the subject of glasses size.

1st version

First and foremost, the size relates to the width of the frame. If it is too big or too small, it can slip quickly or cause pressure points. For the optimal fit, you simply orientate yourself on the width of your face and leave your hair outside. There are of course exceptions, especially those of a fashionable nature: cateye or butterfly glasses, for example, are generally slightly larger, while nickel glasses have to be smaller.

2nd version

The bar width is the shortest distance between the glasses below the bar and is measured from the inside edge of the groove to the inside edge of the groove. Why is this little piece so important? In order for the glasses to fit well, the bridge of the glasses must match the width of your nose. If the glasses do not sit properly on the nose, this can not only lead to unpleasant side effects such as pressure points or headaches. Optimal visual performance also suffers, because if the glasses slip, the optical center calculated during lens centering also slips.

Width and height of the glasses

This is about your field of vision. If the lens is too small, it is limited; with a larger lens, your eye can also see outer zones of vision. However, the glass should not be wider than the face and the eyebrows should remain visible. An exception here is sunglasses, by the way, which often intentionally cover the eyebrows for optimal sun protection. Measurements are taken at the widest and highest point of the glass; the optimal point of view is in the middle.

Bracket

The length determines the wearing comfort. The temples have to sit correctly: If you have too much leeway, the glasses don’t hold, are they short, the glasses are too rigid, pressure points develop and, as a result, headaches. The optician will adjust the temples for you.

Tips for the respective type of glasses and the place of use

Of course, the place of use and the type of glasses also determine the selection of glasses.

What are your correction values?

The following applies to both nearsighted and farsighted people: the higher the values, the thicker the lenses. Therefore, with high values, you should rather use a strong frame that conceals the thick lenses. In the case of low values, it can also be more filigree frames.

Office, sport or varifocal?

If you have problems recognizing the keyboard, seeing your writing pads, or simply cannot find a comfortable working position when working on the computer, despite the optimized conditions at the workplace, this is a very clear indication that computer glasses can help. Varifocal glasses are a great everyday companion, but they can reach their limits when working on a computer screen.
