ABC of optometry
W is wrap frames
wrap frame is a style of glasses that is strongly curved to fit closely around the contours of the face.
Function and Benefits: The curved design offers a wider field of vision and enhanced protection from the sides against wind, dust, debris, and stray sunlight/glare. This makes them especially popular for sports, outdoor work, and driving.
Prescription Lenses: Wrap frames can accommodate prescription lenses, but the high curvature requires specialized digital lens surfacing and precise measurements to avoid distortion.

V is visual acuity

Visual acuity is the clarity or sharpness of vision, measuring the eye’s ability to distinguish fine details and shapes, typically tested using a Snellen chart from 20 feet (6 meters). "Normal" vision is 20/20 (6/6), meaning one sees at 20 feet what a person with standard vision sees at that same distance. Symptoms of poor acuity include blurry, hazy, or distorted vision, often corrected with glasses or surgery.

ABC of optometry
U is uveitis Uveitis is inflammation of the eye's middle layer (uvea), causing sudden or gradual symptoms like eye redness, severe pain, light sensitivity, blurry vision, and floaters. Causes include infections (shingles, herpes), injuries, or autoimmune diseases. While often treatable with corticosteroids, it risks serious complications like glaucoma or permanent vision loss.

T is trifocal glasses
Trifocal glasses are multifocal lenses with three distinct, lined segments designed to correct vision at near (reading), intermediate (computer/arm's length), and far distances. They offer a wide field of view for all three ranges, helping people with severe presbyopia, though they require a longer adaptation period than progressives.
