Submit

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

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.

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.

For example, someone with cataracts may have good vision in the optimal viewing conditions of the exam room, but be unable to drive safely when on coming headlights scatter upon the cataract.

Submit
12. Exercise can help prevent vision problems.

Explanation

In certain cases, eye exercises can be very beneficial. In particular, children who struggle in school or with reading should have a complete eye examination to determine if they are able to focus and move their eyes appropriately for reading and learning.

The TV cannot cause you to lose vision and there is no recommended "safe" distance. Children often sit close to the TV so that they can in effect get a larger screen TV as the closer you are to something the bigger it appears.
