Neither is universally better; it depends on your lifestyle, prescription, and personal preference. Spectacles are low-maintenance, protective, and with bespoke lenses can be precisely tailored to your prescription and face shape. Contact lenses offer a wider field of vision and suit sports or occasions where frames are not practical. Many people use both. The team at Pabari Opticians in Birmingham can help you find the right solution during a consultation.
Scratches on spectacle lenses cannot be removed at home. Common remedies such as toothpaste or baking soda do not repair lens damage and can strip away coatings, reducing optical clarity. Once a lens is scratched, the only reliable solution is professional assessment and replacement. At Pabari Opticians, we can assess your lenses and advise on new ones, with the option to upgrade to scratch-resistant coatings, anti-reflection treatments, or blue light filtering for better long-term performance.
You should consider new spectacle lenses if your vision has changed, you are getting frequent headaches, or your lenses are scratched or have damaged coatings. As a general guide, most people benefit from a prescription review every two years. When replacing lenses, it is worth considering an upgrade. At Pabari Opticians, we offer bespoke Essilor lenses made using advanced digital technology, tailored to your prescription, face shape, and frame fit for noticeably sharper, more comfortable vision.
Blue light spectacle lenses filter high-energy blue-violet light emitted by digital screens. Prolonged screen exposure is linked to eye strain, headaches, and disrupted sleep, so these lenses are worth considering if you spend long hours on devices. At Pabari Opticians, we offer Eyezen lenses, which filter at least 20% of harmful blue light while providing sharper vision for screen use. They are available for both adults and children. Our team in Birmingham can advise whether blue light lenses are the right choice for your lifestyle and vision needs.
