A new study has revealed that approximately one in ten people who wear glasses have sustained injuries from their frames. The research highlights a range of incidents, from minor cuts and bruises to more serious eye injuries caused by broken or ill-fitting spectacles.
The study found that many injuries occur during everyday activities, such as adjusting frames or cleaning lenses. Poorly designed frames and lack of proper fitting were cited as common contributing factors. Experts recommend regular check-ups and proper maintenance to reduce risks.
While most injuries are not severe, the findings underscore the importance of choosing well-fitted, durable frames. Opticians advise against wearing damaged glasses and suggest replacing frames that show signs of wear.
