Why a Proper Eyeglass Prescription Is Important

Eyeglasses impact more than just your vision - they affect daily performance, comfort, and overall well-being. A proper prescription corrects vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia, ensuring clear vision at all distances.

Well-crafted glasses also reduce eye strain, promote good posture, and minimize visual stress. At Santa Ana Optometry, prescriptions are tailored to your specific vision needs, lifestyle, and any existing eye conditions.

Advantages of a Professional Glasses Prescription

• Clarity and Convenience: Read comfortably at near and far distances, with lenses precisely adjusted to suit your needs—reading, computer work, driving.
• Accuracy Diagnostics: Advanced technology detects even a tiny shift in your vision, so your prescription is current and precise.
• Personalized Solutions: Get individualized recommendations on lens types—single vision, bifocal, progressive, or high-index—or protective treatments like blue light filtering or UV protection.
• Medical Monitoring: Your eye test can detect hidden glaucoma, cataracts, or diabetic eye changes in you and help you treat them before they become an issue.
• Style and Confidence: Match your new prescription with cool, practical frames that are your style and attitude.

By having your eyeglass prescription updated periodically, you're investing in your comfort, productivity, and long-term eye health.

Our Eyeglass Prescription Process

Santa Ana Optometry gives you more than the average eye test to provide a complete, hassle-free experience personalized to your needs. What do you get when you visit us?

1. Advanced Vision Test
   • Vision Acuity Measurement: We use a Snellen chart and other measuring tools to test your ability to read letters and symbols at different distances.
   • Refraction measurement: We measure the optimal lens power by phoropter and autorefractor to enable you to see clearly.
   • Binocular Vision measurement: We measure how well your eyes work together so you have good depth perception and visual coordination.
   • Lens Selection Discussion: Using your lifestyle, visual requirements, and budget, we will guide you to the right lenses—single-vision, progressive, anti-fatigue, or specialty lenses.
2. Vision Health Test
   • Outside and Inside Eye Test: Using an ophthalmoscope and slit lamp, Dr. Nguyen examines your cornea, retina, and optic nerve for disease or inflammation.
   • Pressure Testing: A rapid tonometry test determines if you have elevated intraocular pressure, a significant risk factor for glaucoma.
   • Medical History Review: We review your complete medical history, medications, family medical history, and symptoms to determine if any of the reasons may affect your eyes or prescription.
3. Frame Selection and Lens Fitting
   • Personalized Frame Styling: Our optometrists help you choose a great choice of budget-friendly and designer frames to fit your personality and face shape.
   • Exact Measurements: We measure your lens height, pupillary distance, and frame size to ensure the best vision and comfort.
   • Upgrade Choices: Enhance your lenses with photochromic lenses, anti-reflective coating, blue light protection, or scratch resistance.

We ensure that your glasses fit well and support your vision throughout the day—whether at work, school or on the go.
