Suggest Remedies For Myopia
Question: Hi Doctor
I have a small query. Three months back my glasses no increased by .25 to 1.5 (for both eyes) and now again it has increased by 0.25 to 1.75 (for both eyes). Any reason why is it increasing so fast and which glasses would be best for me (like crizal etc.) I work on my laptop daily for around 10 hrs.

Thanks a lot Doctor!
Just one more thing, Is it like that using crizal lenses is better for eyes than normal lenses. I am currently using crizal lenses but would be changing now as my number has increased.

Brief Answer:
Probably makes a very small difference.

Being branded these lenses are definitely a shade better but the improvement is disproportionate to the cost.We in our practice use crizal lenses in less than 10% of our patients.Alimiting factor being the cost.
If difference is cost does not make a difference to you then why not to go for the best,but do not expect much in return.
