Is it necessary to wear glass for eye power -1?
If your Rx is a -1.00 on both eyes, then each eye should be able to see about 20/40 individually and about 20/30 when using both eyes at the same time. Most state driving laws require vision of 20/40 to drive, so it may not be essential to have glasses for a -1.00. However, your vision distance vision will be much better with the glasses than without. So, I would recommend it, for safety reasons.

How do you tell if a Cartier watch is fake?
I specialize in buying and selling Cartier watches. I've seen fakes with all the correct marks and a serial number, but that doesn't mean they are legitimate. If the watch was registered by Cartier when it was sold or if it has been sent in to Cartier for service Cartier will be able to verify it is authentic, but be aware that if the watch was not originally sold in North America or was not registered when sold (fairly common) it can still be authentic. Some sellers offer the Cartier quartz model for sale and only state that the watch has a quartz movement, but fail to mention if it has a Cartier quartz movement. If it has a replacement movement in it the watch is technically authentic, but not original and is not worth as much as one with an original or a genuine Cartier replacement movement. The biggest mistake I've seen amateur Cartier buyers make is using the Cartier micro-script signature on the Roman numeral to verify authenticity. Indeed this is a good indicator, but not the best indicator as there were many Cartier watches produced prior to the technology required to make the micro-script possible and not all Cartier watches have Roman numerals for the dial to have the micro-script signature. Furthermore, the micro-script is not always located at the same place and if the dial has been refinished it may not appear at all. Another common problem is actually caused by language differences, i.e. "all original versus "authentic". A watch can be authentic without being all original. Unless someone has owned the watch since it was new and it has never left their sight it is impossible for them to state the watch is "all original" as a part could have been replaced at some point in time -- even without their knowledge. Your best bet is to buy from a reputable seller even if you have to pay slightly more money.
How can you tell if platinum is real?
Platinum is rarer, heavier, more durable and even more expensive than gold. It is also very dense, meaning that it is heavy. It does require less upkeep than other metals because it is naturally white. Unlike white gold, which needs to be replated with rhodium (a liquid metal that is part of the Platinum Group Metals), platinum stays white forever. The appeal of platinum is in its appearance. Its white luster is unique. It is about 60% as heavier than 14-karat gold. The metal appears silvery-white when pure, and firm. Contrary to popular misconceptions, platinum does scratch. It is actually "softer," if you would, than gold. However, when platinum scratches, it does not lose metal. The metal simply "moves over" and becomes displaced. With a little buffing, the metal will move right back into place and return back to its original brilliance. When gold scratches, you actually lose metal. If you suspect a fake, bounce the jewelry in your hand and judge how heavy it feels in comparison to a gold jewelry. If it feels a lot heavier, it probably is platinum.

How do you wear a masquerade mask if you wear glasses and do not have contacts?
Find a cool way to incorporate your glasses into the mask and work it!
Contact prescriptions are a whole different thing. You have to have a contact lens fitting or evaluation which includes K Readings. Contacts will be a different RX. The RX you have does not look as if an OD (Optometrist) wrote it, however. Usually ODs (optometrists) write in minus cylinder and D.O.s (ophthalmologists) use plus cylinder for Rx's. The Rx for glasses has some cylinder and most likely with a +.75 cylinder will require fitting of a toric lens. However, in some cases patients see better with a sherical contact lenses. There are different base curves and diameters which factor into a contact lens Rx's. Most D.O.s don't really like fitting torics because the patient goes through several sets of trial lenses and has more "in chair" time. You will be charged additional fees for a final contact lens prescription. After all the time and fitting, you still may not end up with a contact lens prescription. If you decide that you want contacts, go to an OD because they have more practice with contacts and they usually have a tech that does most of the fitting and training. D.O.s do surgery, and feel that fitting contacts is a waste of their time as well as waste of tech time.. Before going in for contact lenses, practice touching your eye without blinking. This will save you a lot of frustrating time in front of a bored tech! Remember, you are the patient. Request a review of options. One final thing, you should leave with (by law whether you have paid or not) a prescription in hand. Wait to pay for fitting until the doc has handed you the contact lens RX or you may have a hard time getting a refund for money spent for your wasted time. If you do get your final contact lens Rx, do not feel obligated to buy the contacts from the optometrist. Good Luck! Jace
How do you get your two-year-old to wear their glasses?
I had a friend who would not let her 2 year old out of the crib without his glasses on. The first week was hell but it worked rather well. Whenever he took them off He had to go into the crib until he would keep them on.
It can take a while for your child to get used to the glasses, though often, once they realize they're seeing better, they'll happily wear them. The trick is getting them to wear them long enough to really see the difference. It's important to keep a good attitude, and make sure that your child sees that you're happy when they're wearing their glasses. When my daughter first got glasses, she'd take them off after a couple of minutes. We'd just put them back on and tell her she needed to wear them. If she fought or took them off again, we'd set them aside for 5 minutes and try again. It's important to be consistent and keep putting them on, but it's also important not to create unpleasant associations for your child and their glasses. I've heard of parents using stickers or stars as a way to encourage their kids to wear their glasses.

Why when you put on glasses everything looks small?
When you put on glasses, especially if they are corrective lenses, they alter the way light enters your eyes, which can change your perception of size and distance. If the glasses have a stronger prescription than you're used to, objects may appear smaller because your visual system is adjusting to the new focal point. Additionally, the lenses may magnify or reduce the image size depending on their design, leading to a shift in how you perceive the scale of your surroundings. This adjustment can take some time as your brain adapts to the new visual input.
Is it okay to wear glasses that are a tiny bit broken on the side?
Preferably you should not wear glasses that are broken even if it is just frame damage. If they are broken on the side they could become crooked on your face which could make you dizzy or even cross-eyed. Best to take them to an optician for inspection.

Originally, LASIK was performed with the first step using a disposable razor blade to cut a thin layer of tissue on the front of the eye to make a flap which is folded back to allow the second step or excimer laser to treat the front of the eye.
The newer method of LASIK is called blade free because a second laser, a femtosecond laser is used to make the "flap" instead of a razor blade. The original laser for doing this procedure is made by a company called Intralase that was recently purchased by another eye company, AMO. More recently other companies offer femtosecond lasers with the most advanced model being offered by Carl Zeiss, the VisuMax. Another company making a product is called Femtec.
Overall it is somewhat surprising that still over half of all LASIK procedures are performed with the older "blade" method with the availability of the safer and more predictable blade free approach.
