What factors make you receive glasses on the same day?
Are your lenses anti-glare or anti-scratch? This may extend the time it takes you to buy glasses. Is your prescription complicated? If so, it could mean your lenses take longer to make. Your favorite frames that you tried out at the store are just for display, so you have to order frames for your glasses. If that particular frame style is in small quantities at the factory, your delivery may be delayed. Some optometrist offices and eyewear retailers have in-house optics LABS. These LABS can make some eyeglass lenses in an hour or so. But the power and design of the other lenses needed to be manufactured by an external optics lab, which took more time.
The Advantages of Trifocal Lenses
The greatest advantage of trifocal lenses is that they have three prescriptions in one, which means that not only do you not have to buy three separate pairs of glasses, but you also won’t have to constantly change them as you go about your day.
Another advantage of trifocal lenses is that in some cases, they offer a broader viewing area for near and intermediate-distance applications like reading and using the computer.
What Are Bifocals?
There are several kinds of lenses available in the market. Now, there is a kind of lenses by stacking two different kinds of lenses together and they are called a bifocal lens. Bifocal lenses are lenses with lines separating two different prescriptions. There is a presence of a distance lens at the top and the lower part has a lens that can be used to view the objects placed nearby.
Bifocal lenses are designed for people who have presbyopia, a condition in which the person can’t see the nearby placed objects. Presbyopia is an age-related condition, often occurred when people are over 40 and people often have blurred vision.
At the same time, there are different types of bifocal lenses present and they provide the same user which is the lower part of the lens is used to view the nearby objects or to do work related to reading and writing while the upper part of the lens is used to view the objects placed at a faraway distance or to do an activity like driving.
So, in the following section, we will show you the different types of bifocal lenses.
Anti-fouling Coating
The lens coated with anti-reflection film is pretty prone to stain, and the stain will affect the transmittance of the lens. Microscopically, the anti-reflection film shows a porous structure, therefore, the oil is very easy to soak in it. The solution is to coat a layer of anti-fouling film with anti-oil performance on anti-reflection film. The film is very thin and will not change the optical performance of the anti-fouling film. The material is mainly fluoride. There are two processes, one is the immersion method, one is the vacuum coating method (the most commonly used).
What is a good progressive lens?
No matter how close the objects you see, the lenses are guaranteed to give you a clear view. Whether it's working with a computer, using a smartphone or tablet screen, or simply reading the newspaper, it's all about bringing a comfortable feeling for you. At the same time, the lenses have greater contrast and clarity. The lenses have been tested and approved by the wearer to ensure customer satisfaction, including quick and easy adaptation.
How to protect your contact lenses?
When wearing contact lenses, do not drop any eye drops, and only use a special moistening solution for contact lenses. In daily life, we recommend that dry eyes can be relieved with lubricating fluid, but we do not advocate frequent use of lubricating fluid, so as not to make the eyes become dependent on lubricating fluid. The right way is to do blink training. The ingredients contained in the eye drops will remain in the lenses, which will cause certain damage to the eyes and pollute the lenses. Some eye drops can make the lenses tinted after use, which will affect the transmittance and a refractive number of the lenses and make the vision blurred. Ladies who need to make up should wear contact lenses before making up. When removing makeup, remove contact lenses before removing makeup, to avoid the makeup sticking to the lens and damaging the lens and eyes. Lenses should not be lent to others to avoid cross-infection of eye diseases. You can't wear contact lenses while swimming or bathing.
What Are Bifocal Glasses?
Vision changes seem to be related to age. Presbyopia occurs in the middle age of one person, affecting your eye’s ability to focus. But it can be caused by bifocal glasses.
Bifocal glasses are divided into two parts to accommodate two different prescriptions in one lens. One area of the lens will have one prescription (usually distance) and a segment in the lower half will have the other (usually near vision).
Bifocal glasses were invented by Benjamin Franklin, who solved his own vision problem by taking the lens from his reading glasses and distance glasses and cutting them in half. Then remade the cut lenses into a single pair of bifocals and put the distance lens on top and the reading lens on the bottom.
However, the bifocal glasses come with some problems. So, in the following section, we will show you some common bifocal glasses problems.
