You shouldn’t take your eyesight for granted. Unfortunately, there are so many myths surrounding vision and eyesight that it’s hard to tell fact from fiction. To solve this, we've broken down the six most common myths around eyesight and explain why they’re false.

1. Eating lots of carrots will help you see in the dark

I’m sure most people have heard of this one, but it’s not true! Unfortunately, no matter how many carrots you eat, you won’t be able to see in the dark. However, carrots do contain a large amount of vitamin A, which is great for helping to protect the cornea.

Your diet does have an effect on eyesight. Eggs, oily fish, fortified low-fat spreads, milk, yoghurt and green leafy vegetables are important to eye health.

2. Reading in poor light will hurt your eyes

Reading in dimmed light will not damage your eyes, thankfully. Before the invention of electric light, most nighttime reading and other work was done by dim candlelight or gaslight.

Reading in dim light today won't harm your eyes any more than it did your ancestors' eyes or any more than taking a photograph in dim light will damage a camera.

Reading in dim light can put a strain on your eyes through slowing down the blink rate, but it won’t harm your eyes.

3. Wearing eyeglasses that are too strong or have the wrong prescription will damage your eyes

It’s not a good idea to wear eyeglasses that are too strong or have the wrong prescription, but it won’t harm your eyesight. Eyeglasses change the light rays that your eyes receive - they do not change any part of the eye itself.

Wearing glasses that are too strong or otherwise wrong for your eyes cannot harm your eyes — At worst, the glasses will fail to correct vision and make you uncomfortable because of blurriness.

4. Wearing eyeglasses will weaken your eyes

Eyeglasses worn to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or presbyopia will not weaken your eyes any more than they will permanently solve these types of vision problems.

Glasses are simply external optical aids that correct vision for people who suffer from refractive errors. Exceptions are glasses given to children with crossed eyes (strabismus) or lazy eye (amblyopia). These glasses are used temporarily to help straighten their eyes or improve vision.

5. Crossing your eyes may make them permanently crossed

This is untrue! Your eye muscles are meant to allow you to move your eyes in many different directions. Looking left, right, up or down will not force your eyes to stay permanently crossed. Crossed eyes result from disease, from an uncorrected refractive error, or from muscle or nerve damage, not from forcing your eyes into that position.

6. Staring at a TV or computer screen will ruin your eyesight

It’s hard to believe that staring at a screen all day won’t harm your eyes, but it’s true. Even though your mum used to swear you’d get square eyes from watching too much telly, screens aren’t as bad as the headlines might make out. 

Like most things in life, moderation is key and it’s important to take regular breaks away from your computer, TV, or phone screen. The 20/20/20 rule will have you covered: every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This should help prevent your eyes from getting tired and strained.

However, research suggests that using devices before bed can upset our natural sleep patterns, so keep device usage to a minimum as bedtime approaches. 

Anyone concerned about their eye health should speak to professional.

WHAT IS HARMFUL BLUE LIGHT?

It’s part of the visible light spectrum, which comes from both the sun and artificial light sources like digital screens and fluorescent lights. This type of light gets absorbed deep in the eye, making it potentially impacting to long-term vision. Overexposure to blue-violet light or Harmful Blue Light, especially outside in the sun and through constant use of electronic devices and screens, is why protecting your vision has never been more important. 

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM HARMFUL BLUE LIGHT

There are lenses that help reduce exposure to Harmful Blue Light including the Transitions® adaptive lenses which selectively filter Harmful Blue Light and provide at least 20% protection indoors and over 85% protection outdoors.

For decades, Graham Cutler and Tony Gross’s frames relied, in part, upon their reputation being dripped and whispered within style and fashion circles like verbal quicksilver. Considered bastions of iconic eyewear, Cutler and Gross designs continue to grace many of the most recognizable faces in the worlds of art, design, music and film.

Celebrities in Cutler and Gross include Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender, Bill Nighy, Tinie Temper, Lily Allen, Victoria Beckham , Rihanna, Cheryl Cole, David Gandy, and even Marc Jacobs, himself!

Today the brand has stores in the UK, North America and Canada and is stocked in selected department, optical and concept stores worldwide.

High-quality eyewear fashion doesn’t need to be boring – Johann Pomberger, founder of Johann Von Goisern, was sure of that.

“Johann von Goisern” combines the first name of Johann Pomberger, the creative originator of the brand, and the location of our eyewear factory, Bad Goisern. Colloquially we simply call it “Goisern”.

The “real” Johann (von Goisern) was born in Bad Goisern in 1937 and the region and its people were very close to his heart. His professional career brought him into contact with optics again and again.

In 1984 he finally set up his own business in the “production and processing of spectacle frames”. The family business he founded is now managed by the third generation and continues to hold on to the company location in Bad Goisern, making it one of the companies core values.

​This Austrian designer boasts these three characteristics – outstanding quality, exceptional design and the location of Bad Goisern – this is what still make Johann von Goisern spectacle frames what they are today.

Laura Biagiotti was an Italian fashion designer, she passed away in 2017 but her name and brand carries on creating a collection of iconic and contemporary pieces that represents a direct expression of style and elegance.  

Laura Biagiotti is well known for her extraordinary quality fashion all over the world. The New York times appointed her “The Queen Of Cachemire”, due to her love for this precious yarn. 

Laura Biagiotti was one of the first fashion designers to launch their own eyewear collection. In the ‘80s she had great success with her “mask” shape which is still saught out as a vintage collection piece. 

Insight Eyeworks welcomes the Italian designer eyewear line, and hopes you'll love it as much as they do globally.
