Migraines, Headaches and Eyewear

As someone with frequent migraines, I was a bit shocked to discover that the tiniest flaw in your eyewear, or low-quality eyewear, can cause irreparable damage not only to your eyes, but to your brain as well. Having switched from my high quality Ralph Lauren eyewear to a generic set, I soon learned the repercussions.

Small cracks in your lenses barely visible to the naked eye can cause seizures, migraines or, more commonly, constant headaches. Cracks can form in the lens from extreme exposure to hot and cold temperatures or from blunt trauma. High-quality lenses, as from designer eyewear companies, have scratch resistant coatings and are designed out of more durable and sound materials. Like cracks, smudges and smears can cause your eye to focus, like a camera attempts to do, on either the foreground or background. Your brain is trying to focus on something in the distance while your eye is focusing on the smudge, thus causing strain which induces pain in your frontal cortex.

Likewise, if your prescription is more than a year old you need a checkup. Walking around with an out of date prescription can cause headaches as well as cornea damage. You eye is part of a living, adapting, changing being and it is not stagnate. Your prescription will change yearly, and if not then all you have lost is the cost of the exam to ensure you are not damaging your eyes.

Low-quality exams and cheap glasses are the number one culprit for ongoing headaches in most out-patient cases. The cheaper the glasses, the likelihood that the materials used are less reliable and the construction less professional. With your health you should go the extra mile to ensure you have the best in the business. Designer eyewear may look cool, but the more important feature is that it is a brand that can be trusted with warrantees not to be ignored. With designer eyewear you also have the chance to add anti-scratch and anti-smear coatings, which are highly recommended for anyone with constant headaches.
