This is a great question ðFirst, you can’t really cheat on a eye exam. Everything the optometrist finds in the exam ties together, so if something doesn’t jive because you lied about what you could and couldn’t see, they’ll know something isn’t right. There are also tests that are completely objective, meaning they require no input from the patient. Those tests you can’t lie on ð If you friend MUST have glasses, but they can see fine right now without them, keep in mind almost everyone has SOME prescription. Even if it is very little, you can still use the prescription to get glasses.Also, tell your friend that you can get glasses with plano lenses (lenses with zero power). That way, they can wear their glasses and still be able to see, assuming they didn’t need any power.And give your optometrist some credit! There’s a reason we go through 8 years of school!! We learn about malingering, which is when people don’t give honest answers throughout the exam in order to get personal gain (such as glasses)!! We’re always one step ahead ð

No, you can’t cheat , there are too many cross checks that you wouldn’t be able to always cheat the same way on and the Dr. would see right away you are just being stupid. What if there WAS a way to cheat and you ended up with glasses that had a prescription you couldn’t use because you wouldn’t be able to see out of them ….what good would that do ? You can get clear lens glasses made at any optical store, or even find them online cheap like at Claires. After wearing glasses a few days you will get over the fascination and probably put them in a drawer and forget about them anyway. It’s no big fun wearing glasses , especially when you don’t have to.

Your friend really doesn’t want to do that…if the doctor prescribes her /him glasses based on a faked test, then your friend is risking damaging their eyes with the glasses!! Ever put on someone else’s glasses and gotten a bad headache from it? Its because your eyes are having to work much harder to adjust to the lenses.If your friend wants the look of glasses, just have her/him buy the glasses with clear lenses!

The other answerers have the right idea, no need to fake not being able to see! You can easily get glasses with what they call plano lenses (no power). But, she may want to look on line for these, it may save her some money and there is a huge frame selection. On the web site when selecting lens perscription there is usually a selection for “0” or “plano”. You can also get these plano lenses tinted or photochromic if you want, and you don’t need any prescription for them.

your friend wouldn’t be very smart to cheat on the eye exam when she could just walk into the store and ask to buy an nonprescriptioned pair of glasses

Demetrius Gusikowski · Answer

They will put lenses with no prescription (called “plano”) into any frame for cosmetic reasons. Optical shops do it all the time. She doesn’t even need to waste the money on an eye exam. Just go into an optical shop and pick out the frame she likes and ask them to put plano lenses into them. Of course, they will charge for them just like prescription lenses.

If your friend wants to wear glasses that bad, she does not have to cheat during an eye examination. She could go to any optician to make glasses with zero degree. That way she will not have to damage her eyesight and can see perfectly well.

Demetrius Gusikowski · Answer

Tell your friend not to do it. Wearing prescription glasses when you don’t need them can screw up your eyes. She should be able to buy a pair of frames with normal glass in them.
