Clean Glasses Properly
If the glasses are dirty, don't just wipe them with other cloth. If you use some hard cloth to wipe, it is easy to cause scratches in the lens. Generally speaking, the following cleaning methods are all feasible.
1. Use neutral or alkaline cleaning agent. Remember, toothpaste cannot be used as a substitute for the cleaning agent for spectacle lenses. General optical shops also sell lens cleaners in small bottles, which are easy to carry.
2. Go to the optical shop for professional ultrasonic cleaning. General optical shops provide free cleaning services. The ultrasonic cleaning machine can fully clean every gap and groove of the glasses.
3. Rinse the lens with tap water. Hold the frame in one hand and the cleaner in the other hand. Rub it slowly against the lens, and then rinse it off with clean water. Then wipe it with a glasses cloth or let it dry naturally.
In addition to the glasses cannot be cleaned with alcohol, you should also pay attention to their placement for daily maintenance. Try to avoid putting it under high temperature, and avoid oily, smoke, etc. If you don't use them, put them in the glasses case.
Does it take time to get used to new prescription glasses?
People who wear new advanced glasses usually have an adjustment period. For novices, please gradually adapt to the glasses. In the first 2-3 weeks, increase the wearing time every day to adapt to the lens. For example, wear it for 1-2 hours on the first day, then add 2 hours a day until you feel comfortable. Before driving, please try it at home. Remember, you need to turn your head and move your eyes to find the 'sweet spot' for the activity you care about.
For experienced wearers, even under the same prescription, a new incremental pairing is required, and some adjustments are usually required. Progressive lens design, frame shape, and many other factors will also affect the adjustment time.
How much should a pair of prescription glasses cost?
Speaking of glasses, everyone's first feeling may be that it is not cheap to have a pair of prescription glasses. Just such a small pair of glasses, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. Why is the difference so big? So some people go online to buy glasses for dozens of dollars as if they look the same. But is it actually the same? There are a lot of differences between the glasses for dozens of dollars and for thousands of dollars, apart from the price. Also, you should be responsible for your own eyes.
Better glasses brands will adopt better designs to ensure beautiful appearance and structural safety, and have stricter quality standards. At first, these glasses are not cheap because the cost has increased a lot. In addition to the brand, different materials, process requirements, and mass production scale will also affect the cost and thus the final selling price. As for the question of what price glasses to choose, my suggestion is to choose the high-priced one within your budget. So, to choose a suitable pair of glasses, what aspects need to be considered?
How to choose frames?
You can choose a thicker frame with the lens, and then pay attention to the temple. It is better to have a little weight, or the frame is easy to lose forward. The shape of the frame can be elliptical. If the frame is rectangular, the rim of the lens may be a little thick. Choose frame TR90 plate and the frame will be wider than ordinary alloy. Of course, if you like metal, there are now metal frames with thick frames.
About Plastic Frames
It is usually divided into thermoplastic plastics and thermosetting plastics. Thermoplastics can be reworked under heat. Thermosetting plastics cannot. The plastic frame is usually made of nylon or composite material. Although it is a thermoplastic material, at regular temperature will not become soft. The plastics used to make frames are not always thermoplastic, but they can almost always be softened by heating. Thermosetting plastics are usually used only for small parts.
