What's the secret to getting eyeglasses that look great on me?

How do I avoid annoying reflections on my eyeglasses?

Anti-reflective coating, also known as AR coating, helps you see through your eyeglasses more easily, lets others see your eyes better, and eliminates the annoying white glare spots in photos taken with a flash.

What are the warning signs that a child might need glasses?

• Consistently sitting too close to the TV or holding a book too close
• Losing his or her place while reading
• Using a finger to follow along while reading
• Squinting
• Tilting the head to see better
• Frequent eye rubbing

How can I prolong the life of my eyeglasses?

• If you're buying just one pair of glasses, avoid trendy frames that could go out of style quickly.
• If you're buying glasses for a child whose prescription changes often, ask to have new lenses put in the old frames, rather than buying new frames each time.
• Choose a style with spring hinges, which allow the temples to flex slightly outward without breaking the eyeglasses.

How often should I get a new pair of glasses?

You should get a new pair if your prescription has changed — your eye doctor will let you know. To keep seeing clearly, see your eye doctor annually or every two years.
