Eyes and Weddings

by Dec 5, 2012

If you are planning a Spring or Fall wedding, now is the time to think about……your Eyes! Here’s some suggestions for making sure you’re seeing clearly on your big day:

  • Schedule your eye examination at least three months before your wedding. That will give you time to decide if you want to get new glasses, contact lenses or consider Lasik surgery. It will also give your eye doctor a chance to make sure your eyes are healthy.
  • If you wear eyeglasses, consider a classic or rimless frame in a size proportional to your face. That type of frame will be less distracting in photos and will look less dated when you look at the photos years from now.
  • Avoid glasses with Transitions.  If some of your photos will be taken outdoors or near windows, your lenses will tint and you may not like how that  looks in your wedding photos.
  • Make sure your lenses have a high quality anti-glare / anti-reflection treatment.  Lesser quality lenses scratch and smudge too easily.
  • Consider using 1 day disposable contact lenses.  These types of lenses tend to be more comfortable and  are less likely to cause your eyes to be red and irritated.  Plus they are a lot easier to travel with since they don’t require solutions.
  • Suggest to family members who will be in your photos that they get  eyeglass frames adjusted a few days before the big event.  That way no one’s glasses look crooked in the photos!

Dr. Ally Stoeger provides annual eye examinations for all age groups, medical eye care, contact lens examinations and Lasik surgery co-management in the Gainesville-Haymarket area of Virginia. Her practice at GH Eye has a superb collection of  basic and high tech lenses and the latest in fashion frames for adults and children.
