Yes, the distance between your glasses and your eyes does matter for both comfort and optimal vision. Here’s why:
-
Lens Performance: Glasses are designed to sit at a specific distance from your eyes (usually about 12-14mm). If your glasses sit too close or too far from your eyes, it can affect the way the lenses correct your vision, leading to potential blurriness or distortion.
-
Comfort: If your glasses are too close to your eyes, they can rest on your eyelashes or cause discomfort. If they are too far, they may slip more easily or cause strain as you adjust your focus.
-
Field of Vision: Glasses that are too far away can limit your peripheral vision or cause distortions at the edges of the lenses, especially with prescription or progressive lenses.
-
Protection: In cases like blue light blocking or sunglasses, glasses that sit too far from the face may let in more light or reduce protection from harmful rays or glare.
It’s essential to have a proper fitting to ensure your glasses are positioned correctly, providing both clarity and comfort.
