Spectacles
Spectacles, also known as eyeglasses or glasses, are devices worn on the face to correct vision or to protect the eyes. They consist of a frame that holds one or two lenses in front of the eyes. The lenses are made of glass or plastic and are shaped to correct vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
Spectacles can be used to correct a wide range of vision problems, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia. Nearsightedness is a condition in which distant objects appear blurry, while farsightedness is a condition in which close objects appear blurry. Astigmatism is a condition in which the eye has an irregular shape, causing distorted vision. Presbyopia is a condition that occurs as people age, causing difficulty seeing objects up close.
Spectacles can be made with a variety of frame styles and lens materials to suit different needs and preferences. They can also be fitted with special coatings or tints to enhance vision in specific situations, such as driving or outdoor sports. If you have vision problems and are considering getting spectacles, it is important to speak with an eye care professional for a comprehensive eye exam and to determine the best course of treatment.
