Old glasses can be second-hand goods.
You can set your sights even further through sites like Freecycle, where you can meet like-minded people who are actively trying to become more conscious consumers. You can get involved in the circular economy by selling your eyeglasses on local websites such as Gumtree or eBay.
Is It Bad to Wear Reading Glasses When You Have Perfect Vision?
Can reading glasses hurt your eyes? This section will answer this question. One of the most common reasons for people to wear reading glasses is to see things clearly. If you read a lot or perform other tasks at close range for long periods, your eyes may feel strained. In general, strained eyes with near vision are associated with farsightedness. However, you might have similar symptoms just by observing something up close for too long. For this reason, reading glasses may be helpful.
However, do reading glasses hurt your eyes? No, wearing reading glasses should not hurt your eyes, even if you don’t have any problems with your eyesight. Meanwhile, it may take some time to get used to the reading glasses.
How to Find Reading Glasses Strengths?
Some reading glasses also come with strengths. So, how do you know what strength reading glasses to get and how to find reading glasses strengths? The strength of all reading glasses is measured in dioptre, with units increasing by 0.25 dioptre depending on the power of the lens.
The reading glasses strengths range from +0.75 dioptre to +3.00 dioptre. Both lenses have the same power which is indicated by a permanent marking on the inside of the frame or with a removable sticker on the lens. So, you can find the reading glasses strengths of the glasses.
The important thing you need to notice is that when higher the number, the greater the power of the lenses is when choosing reading glasses. So, glasses with a marking of 1.0 are low power while those marking +3.0 are high powered.
What is blue light?
Our daily lives are inseparable from mobile phones, computers, tablet computers, and other electronic products. Many people's eyesight is also going downhill due to long-term exposure to strong light electronic screens, and their eyes are more or less potentially adversely affected. It is found that many optical stores sell blue light filter glasses, which have the function of blocking 99.9% UV and scattered blue light, alleviating visual fatigue. They claim that these glasses can block short-wave blue light emitted by electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, and even prevent age-related macular degeneration so they are much sought after by consumers. The price of these so-called anti-blue-light glasses varies greatly, ranging from dozens of dollars to several thousand dollars. Do these blue light blocking glasses really have so many magical functions?
The natural light seen by the human eye is composed of a spectrum of different colors, including red light, orange light, yellow light, green light, blue light, indigo light, purple light, which gives people a visual feeling of white. Different wavelengths present different colors visually, and the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. At present, products with electronic screens such as computers and mobile phones use LEDs and other materials to emit light mainly in three colors of red, green, and blue, and blue light accounts for the main part. Blue light belongs to the range of visible light, belongs to short waves. And the wavelength is between 400 nanometers and 500 nanometers, which is close to ultraviolet and carries a large amount of energy. And this part from 400 nanometers to 450 nanometers is called high-energy short-wave blue light.
What are the benefits of memory metal frames?
Memory metal materials are inherently lighter than metal materials, which can reduce the pressure on the bridge of the nose and skin. The memory metal frame is super elastic, so it never deforms, and it is so apparent that the temples on both sides of the frame line up with the ring. Because the bending can be automatically restored to its original state, the stability is comparatively strong. It has the benefits of high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, which will not cause skin allergy, and so on. It is a hypoallergenic lightweight metal for eyeglass frames that is strong and flexible. It is resistant to corrosion, making it proper for people who work, live or play sports in all kinds of outdoor weather conditions. The memory metal can be placed on the side of the face, making it easier and more comfortable to wear. The memory temples can freely rebound 180 degrees without deformation, making up for the insufficient effect of elastic β titanium. This kind of frame is not able to recover due to careless bending, and it has the function of restoring shape itself.
What Are Anti-Glare Glasses?
Anti-glare glasses are made with lenses that have an anti-glare coating or anti-reflective coating. This is an extremely thin layer placed on the lens itself so as to remove any reflections you might see from the surface of the glasses. This improves your vision by reducing the amount of glare that reflects off of your lenses.
