Can reading glasses prevent cataracts? The Sangero Optical Store was accused of exaggerating the propaganda "Is there such a miracle glasses? How long do you wear it without getting tired, can you see far and near and prevent cataracts? Recently, many citizens have called the hotline of this newspaper to question the Saint-Gero optical store on Yanji Road. On the morning of August 2, the reporter came to the store for an unannounced visit, but he didn't expect a clerk to say bluntly: "It's all for publicity, it's not so miraculous at all, it's just an ordinary progressive multifocal lens."

"So are these glasses really as amazing as they advertise? An ophthalmologist in the island city said that cataract is a disease closely related to age, and reading glasses have no function to prevent this disease. 鈻燪uestioning whether reading glasses are so magical "In the past two days, I saw a magical reading glasses from a newspaper advertisement, which can not only see near and far, but also prevent cataracts and other elderly vision diseases, can it really be so effective? Recently, Mr. Zhang, a citizen, called the hotline of this newspaper to report that he is 57 years old this year, and as he grows older, his eyes are gradually spent, and his right eye is particularly serious and accompanied by astigmatism, and it is very difficult to read the newspaper.

He had bought a pair of reading glasses before, but the effect was not good, a few days ago I heard from a friend, Yanji Road opened a Shengjieluo optical store promotional slogan is very tempting. "I couldn't resist the temptation to go to this store, and the clerk said that as long as I wear a pair of glasses, I can get it regardless of presbyopia, myopia, and astigmatism, and I won't get tired after wearing it for a long time, and not only can it prevent cataracts.

Mr. Zhang said, listening to the clerk praising the glasses as "amazing", he muttered in his heart, is a pair of reading glasses so powerful?銆€銆€On the morning of August 2, Mr. Zhang and the reporter went to the Saint-Gero optical store on Yanji Road and told a woman in charge of reception at the front desk that she wanted to wear a pair of glasses, and then Mr. Zhang was led into the optometry room.

Before giving Mr. Zhang an optometry, a female clerk kept introducing the benefits of these glasses to reporters, "People are getting older, and if they don't have the right reading glasses, the prescription may get higher and higher, and it is very necessary to match a pair of glasses." After about half an hour, she took out a box of glasses for Mr. Zhang to choose from, and kept recommending a 980 yuan pair of glasses.

After some haggling, Mr. Zhang was fitted with a pair of glasses worth 388 yuan. "Are your glasses really as amazing as advertised, and can they prevent eye diseases? The reporter asked in confusion. "No, it's not like that at all, it's just an ordinary progressive multifocal lens, not so magical.

The female clerk's "outspokenness" surprised the reporter. 鈻燚octor: The only way to treat cataract is surgery After the selection, the clerk explained that since the glasses in the store need to be made in Hong Kong, they can only be picked up after 20 days, so Mr. Zhang paid a deposit of 200 yuan.

"I'll call you when the goods arrive. Can this progressive multifocal really cure cataracts? On the evening of the 2nd, the reporter interviewed an ophthalmologist in the island city. "Compared with ordinary monofocal reading glasses, progressive multifocal reading glasses do solve the problem of seeing far, medium and near without changing glasses.

According to the doctor, there is nothing magical about these glasses themselves, and they are not suitable for everyone because the glasses have more focal points, and there are some difficulties in adapting to them. Especially when going up and down the stairs, because the focus is always changing, if you don't adapt, it can be dangerous.

"It is even more impossible to prevent eye diseases such as cataracts. The doctor said that cataract is a disease closely related to age, and this is an irreversible law with age, and it has little to do with whether or not to wear glasses.

"I hope that the majority of patients will not easily believe the exaggerated propaganda of some companies, so as not to delay treatment. This correspondent of this newspaper.
