SAN RAMON, Calif., July 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- People take pride in their appearance, and few accessories help to define appearance more than the frames for prescription glasses. Choosing frames is a major part of the process of getting glasses. Using dilated pupils to choose what pair looks best is part of the adventure of the optometrist. But how a person looks in their frames is only the cosmetic issue of the situation. The really important aspect is the actual job of the glasses: to help a person see better, not to make a person look better. Financial Education Benefits Center (FEBC), a membership benefits company, offers a variety of health and financial wellness resources that include savings on vision services, which may help a person get the exact frames they desire. However, these benefits are not meant to replace insurance and should not be used as such.

"Sometimes people spend more time in the waiting room choosing frames than in the optometrist's seat getting their eyes checked," quipped Jennifer Martinez, the manager of FEBC. "The way they look on you really matters to some people, even more so than how they work sometimes."

But getting new glasses should be exciting for the prospect of seeing the world more clearly at least as much as for the possibility of a new style or look. Just as styles of frames change over time, a person's prescription will also gradually change. Because of the slow change, individuals often need a new prescription without knowing that they do. There is not going to be that one day where suddenly the old glasses don't work anymore, but instead, there will be a period of time over which the frames will grow increasingly less effective. It can happen so slowly that a person never even notices. If someone is getting frequent headaches or neck aches and seems to be squinting often, then a new prescription is probably necessary.

Additionally, if it has been close to two years, technology may have improved. There are now several occupation-specific lens aids that have become more available, such as lenses that can help to reduce the glare from computer screens. This can significantly lower the strain on the eyes, helping to delay the need of the next pair of glasses with a new prescription.

"We hope members utilize the visions saving benefit we offer at FEBC in an effort to keep their vision nice and sharp while also creating the look they want with the right pair of frames."
