A member asked:

Do titlted frames like rayban wayfarers change your prescription because they are titled or no does it not affect your eye sight?

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Not usually: For most prescriptions, the tilt of the lens will cause an insignificant change in the prescription. This is not true if the prescription is very strong.
