Q: I’m 68 years old and I used to wear sunglasses often, but now I found them all to be too dark and hazy, even my prescription sunglasses. Why is that?
A: This is a common problem. Perhaps the surfaces of your sunglass lenses are damaged. But it’s possible your eyes are needing more light than before; some parts of the eye lose transparency over time, or you may have some other kind of problem. In either case, we can set you up with some comfortable vision! If you’re experiencing this common issue, or are overdue for your yearly eye exam, Mosaic Optometry is here to help.
