Glasses and contact lenses: how to choose the glasses that are more suitable for you?

A: Some people may experience eyestrain after wearing glasses for two reasons. First, people with good eyesight wore glasses of too high degree, resulting in excessive tension of eye muscles; Second, the quality of the lens is poor, resulting in poor light refraction. Therefore, when choosing glasses, we must find a professional ophthalmologist to prescribe and choose lenses with reliable quality.

A: Contact lenses can effectively improve vision without affecting the image of patients. However, the use of contact lenses needs to strictly follow the doctor's advice and guidance, and unreasonable use methods will lead to eye diseases. Therefore, when you choose to wear contact lenses, you must follow the correct use, cleaning and maintenance rules, and go to the hospital regularly to check your eye health.
