Hey there, fellow eye aficionados! 👀 It's time to bust some myths and set the record straight about all things eyecare. At Eyes on Meridian, we're on a mission to educate and empower our patients, starting with debunking these common misconceptions:
Myth: "If I have 20/20 vision, I don't need an eye exam."
Reality check: While having 20/20 vision is great, it's not the whole picture (pun intended). Annual eye exams are crucial for detecting underlying issues that may not affect your vision but can impact your eye health.
Myth: "Reading in dim light will ruin my eyes."
Reality check: Sorry, but this one's a myth! While reading in low light might strain your eyes temporarily, it won't cause permanent damage. However, proper lighting can make reading more comfortable and reduce eye fatigue.
Myth: "Wearing glasses will make my eyesight worse."
Reality check: False alarm! Wearing glasses or contacts prescribed by your eye doctor won't weaken your eyesight. In fact, they're designed to correct your vision and provide clarity without causing harm.
At Eyes on Meridian, we're all about dispelling these myths and providing evidence-based information to keep your eyes healthy and happy. Have more questions or need to schedule your next eye exam?
