Could orange colored lenses dictate my future? Would they change the way my friends see me? Would they help me get through high school and into college? These are just a few questions I found myself struggling with seven years ago. In fourth grade while reading audibly, my teacher noticed I might have a reading disability.

Certain older models of lighting lenses are made of older plastics that are effected by UV rays resulting in crazing. Old glass lenses can chip.
