Question 5

how do glasses work on a person?

Accepted Answer

Refraction: When light moves from the air through the lens, it bends. This bending of light is called refraction. The amount of refraction can be controlled by the curvature and material of the lens. When people need glasses it is because light is not focusing on their retina. Using the refractive power of glasses we can focus light onto the retina in order to form a clear image.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Improve focus: The eyes sometimes are imperfect and the focus cannot be naturally put in the proper place for best vision.  Glasses bend the light according to an amount measured by your ophthalmologist so that the focus is on the best place on the retina for the light to be received at its sharpest.

Accepted Answer

Optical shop: Most specialty opticians, usually in smaller offices, can provide special needs glasses.  You need a prescription from your ophthalmologist and a good analysis of your needs so they can construct them.

Question 9

can glasses and contacts worsen vision?

Accepted Answer

Glasses and contacts: Significantly help your vision if they are fit properly.  In addition, your eyes will not get weaker by wearing them on a regular basis.

Question 10

how do i improve sight besides glasses?

Accepted Answer

Contacts, LASIK: I am guessing that you are seeking a non-mechanical, non-surgical means.  "natural" remedies and exercises do not alter the basic structure of the eye and so do not work to change vision.  You will have to seek the usual remedies, generally highly effective, from your ophthalmologist.
