Regarding the Use of Glasses
–Relaxing Glasses: Glasses have values expressed in numbers and should be used if they correct vision or protect from sunlight when worn. Sometimes, our physicians use this term to explain it to patients who can see without glasses and need small prescription glasses, but it is completely wrong.
–Using the wrong glasses prescription: It does not harm eye health at all, but it can affect vision and cause headaches during the wearing process.

–Wearing Glasses in Children does not cause the eye number to DECREASE or INCREASE. However, it must be worn at a young age in order to improve vision.
–Is it more difficult for babies or young children to wear glasses? This problem can be prevented with encouragement. As long as the child is approached appropriately. There are babies who use high hyperopia glasses even at a very young age.
–MYOPIA: It is the focusing of rays coming from a distance in front of the yellow spot of the eye. They see clearly up to a certain distance, but clarity deteriorates at longer distances. They wear glasses or lenses both near and far.
–HYPERMETROPIA: It is the focusing of the rays coming from far behind the yellow spot of the eye. They can see clearly by straining their eyes.
It is wrong to define these definitions as not seeing far or not seeing near.
–Astigmatism: Astigmatism is myopic or hyperopic and It is no different from other refractive errors in terms of eye health, it only refers to the difference in refraction at a certain angle of the eye.
–Eye Scratching: It is performed on people over the age of 18 to eliminate the need for glasses. Laser treatment (for near or far) is not harmful to eye health.
–Laser treatment of strabismus:NO.
–Laser Blindness of the eye: These devices used for treatment purposes do not cause blindness, but the damage to the central vision point due to the disease or the development of edema as a complication of laser may cause vision loss. ir.
–Good vision is the guarantee of eye health: NO... For example: Glaucoma patients can see well until the last stage of the disease, vision then begins to decrease, at which point vision There is no return.
–Do TV and computers damage the eyes? : No, it doesn't break it. However, since the tears on the surface of the eye will dry out, burning, stinging, redness and reflex watering will occur...
–Cataract surgery restores vision to its original state: Good vision In order for this to occur, the posterior retina, that is, the retina layer, must be healthy and the person's visual potential must be good. There may be no increase in vision in fundus diseases and lazy eyes.
EYE EXAMINATION IS NOT JUST A GLASSES EXAMINATION... One of the most important preventable causes of blindness, Sugar-related diabetic retinopathy and eye pressure-related glaucoma can be detected in advance by ophthalmologists during detailed anterior and posterior eye segment examinations, when vision is good. These two major blinding diseases are barely noticeable to the patient, who unfortunately has very little visual function left. For this reason, patients who wear glasses should have an eye examination once a year, and those who do not wear glasses should have an eye examination every 2 years, starting from the age of 45, even if they do not have any eye-related complaints.
