Avid users of contact lenses may better realize the
importance of a valid prescription & eye exam. Unfortunately, eye exams are
often ignored as patients find it an annoying practice to physically visit the
eye care’s office. Thus, to make the entire process hassle-free, “Opternative”
a new website-aiming at improving one’s eye health has established an
innovative online eye exam where your lap top & your smartphone rules.
People who wear contact lenses must stay vigilant about how
their eyes perform under different circumstances. Even a minor change in
prescription may lead to headaches, pain in temples, heavy eyelids etc. Dr. Jeremy
Ciano explained the importance of regular eye exams on World’s sight day. He emphasized
that being into the practice of eye check-ups can help improve the sight of
even those with 20/20 vision. With Opternative eye test you only need to spend
roughly 25 minutes & $30 for your prescription.
The eye exam does not let you wander in vacuum. From stage
one to stage last; there are real brains working behind the concept. The test
monitors your vision just like a usual eye doctor performs an eye test. You are
asked to focus on the different objects, numbers & shapes that slide onto
your laptop’s screen whereas your smartphone serves like a remote control that
you use to enter your data. A real life optometrist then analyze your
prescription & issues you one to help you make your selection for different
modes of vision correction.
The test entertains people under 18 to 40 years. Whilst the
DIY eye exam is convenient & straightforward; you must visit your eye care
provider at least once in a year. As per the stats there are over 40 million
people who wear contact lenses but little they do know about the risk of
infections they are possibly at. Only a doctor might be able to diagnose &
treat eye related discomfort caused by dryness, digital strain or by improper
& unhygienic practices of contact lenses. Contact lens follow-ups help
ruling out the underlying threats that may run havoc in future. Fortunately,
90% of the eye problems can be treated, prevented or cured. The best bet however
remains the “Prevention”. Always keep a valid contact lens prescription in your
arsenal; and you will never regret!
