When you wear the same glasses every day for years, they can almost feel like part of your face, an integral part of your personal style.

You’re so used to the way you look in them (and through them), that making a switch can feel like a big decision, even if doing so will improve your ability to see.

Deterioration in vision can occur due to normal aging or because of illness or genetic factors.  It’s fairly common for people to wear glasses with outdated prescriptions but doing so can cause eye strain and lead to other issues like headaches and dizziness.
