Seeing into the Future

SC: Should your glasses make your vision perfect or just improve it?

YMF: It depends on the demands of your lifestyle. If you don't need to see clearly over long distances, you shouldn't wear strong lenses because they will make your eyes dependent. If you need to see clearly over long distances, your glasses need to make yor vision as good as possible.

SC: Do sunglasses really make a difference?

YMF: Yes, because ultraviolet rays from the sun damage the cornea, the lens and even the retina. Wearing sunglasses is necessary to prevent cataracts and to limit the effects of the aging process on your eyes

SC: Does watching TV really damage your eyes?

YMF: The condition of children's eyes is not stable, so watching TV for too long can cause them to become nearsighted. For adults, sitting in front of the TV will cause eyestrain but no real lasting problems.

SC: What can you do to maintain or improve your vision?

YMF: Resting and taking care of your general health are very important. It's also important to have your eyes checked regularly to see if you have any eye problems resulting from aging or disease.
