    It's normal for your eyes to take a few weeks to adapt to new prescription glasses.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is normal for the eyes to take some time to adjust to new prescription glasses because the eyes need to get used to the new lens power and the changes in vision. This adjustment period can vary from person to person, but it typically takes a few weeks for the eyes to fully adapt to the new glasses. During this time, some people may experience mild discomfort or headaches, but these symptoms usually subside as the eyes adjust. Therefore, the statement "It's normal for your eyes to take a few weeks to adapt to new prescription glasses" is true.

    All sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because not all sunglasses provide protection against the sun's harmful UV rays. While many sunglasses claim to offer UV protection, it is important to check for a label or sticker indicating that the sunglasses provide 100% UV protection. Without this indication, the sunglasses may not effectively block the UV rays and could potentially harm the eyes. Therefore, it is crucial to choose sunglasses that specifically mention UV protection to ensure proper eye safety.
