While the looks are important, when it comes to eyeglasses, your Lenses are the most important part, hands down. However, experience has shown that most eyeglass wearers spend a considerable time choosing frames; but not much of an effort or research is done in choosing the right kind of lenses.

"The medical term of your eyeglasses is "Vision-Aids" - something that helps improve your vision. Eyeglasses should be treated as such." Says Dr. Khan, Optometrist at Sight N' Steps. "We live in the most technologically advance environment in the history of mankind. 50 years ago, our eyes did not go through hours and hours of direct intense light being beamed at them through computers, TV's and smart phone screens, so they are not used to this harsh treatment. Thanks to the advancement of technology in the area of vision-aid, we can now choose lenses suitable to our daily lifestyle."

She brought her red marker straight into my pupils and drew a few geometrical lines on eyeglasses. I felt she was holding her breath to gain a precision of a sniper; lest her hands shake and cause her to miss her target. I reluctantly sat there, fully in compliance and let her finish.

That explained the worsening of my eyesight. This exercise made me look further; and here is what I found.

Your Optician to your prescription eyeglasses is like your pharmacist to your prescription drugs. They both need specific schooling, they both need license to dispense prescription products in Canada and they both must adhere to specific practices set out by various professional and legislative governing bodies.
