New glasses....?
Ever notice that a new pair of glasses may help you see so crisply and clearly... but yet they don't always feel so good?
It's not just the feel on the nose or behind the ears. Sometimes a stronger lens may feel like strain on or around the eyes. It may be accompanied with neck tension... shoulder tension... back tension.
Lenses which compensate for nearsightedness (myopia) do a lot more than sharpen up images on the way to the back of the eye.
Join Dr. Slotnick as she is interviewed by Neal Hallinan, "The PRI Trainer," for a fascinating discussion on the REAL impacts of a lens: What the lenses do to reshape the world you see, and how that may impact the way your body feels.
Below is an outline of the discussion points.
