What is hard coating on lenses?
Lenses are mainly added in two kinds of film: anti-reflection film and hard film (and some manufacturers produce anti-fogging film and mirror film, but not common). The anti-reflective film is mainly by coating the front surface of the lens with multiple layers of transparent materials with different refractive index and thickness to reduce the excess reflected light on the surface of the lens, by using the principle of light interference. The film can be applied to both glass and resin lenses. The way of hard film plating is usually a soaking process. After many times of soaking and cleaning, soaking in an organic solution containing ultrafine silicon element for a certain time, and then keeping it at a certain temperature for 4-5 hours, the fixed polymerization process of the film has been completed. The surface wear resistance of CR-39 coating can be increased by 2-4 pH, which is similar to the hardness of optical glass lenses.
Gold round frame eyeglasses
Round metal frames have become a hot trend in the last two years, and the pop culture of metal glasses has become unstoppable. A round frame divides a big frame and a small frame, and a small round frame is more delicate. But the requirement for facial features is very high, and the big round frame is more lively and lovely.

Flexon: Flexon is a titanium alloy that is composed of around 50% titanium and 50% nickel. Flexon eyeglass frames are extremely flexible and can be twisted or bent to an extreme and can return to their original shape. The flexon frame material is popular among kids' glasses.
Beta titanium: this is an alloy mainly composed of titanium and a small amount of aluminum and vanadium. The beta-titanium has a memory feature and is mostly used in high-quality designer frames. The beta-titanium is toughness and light.
Monel: it is an alloy of nickel and copper. The monel frame material is cheap and discolor.
Beryllium: it is an alternative to titanium resisting corrosion and tarnishing, but it is cheap. The beryllium frame material is lightweight, strong, flexible and available in a wide range of colors. In addition, it is a good choice for those people with high skin acidity or those people who spend a large amount of time in or around salt water.
Besides the above plastic eyeglass frame materials and metal frame materials, there are some other frame materials available, such as aluminum, gold, silver or other biodegradables materials. You can choose the suitable one according to its performance, features, and price.
What’s more, you can choose glasses from Koalaeye Optical. It provides various kinds of glasses and frames, such as blue light blocking glasses, rimless sunglasses, and so on.
How to choose blue light blocking glasses?
Look at lens color. Ordinary lens and blue light blocking lens is the same yellow-green film, and they can be placed in light to identify the place.
Regular lenses have a yellowish tinge in the reflection of light. And anti-blue light glasses film color, there is the blue color in the yellow and green film, this is because of the reflection of blue light.
Look at the instructions. Check the specs and test reports of glasses. Look at the lens manufacturer's qualifications and whether the lens contains radiation.
Lions Club
Lions Club is a service organization with over 1 million members worldwide. Known for the work to improve the lives of the visually impaired and prevent avoidable blindness, they are proud to serve their ongoing efforts by providing unique and influential programs and grants. One of their missions, Lions Recycle for Sight, helps those who desperately need eye care and glasses that they either can't afford or don't have access to. The Lions Club accepts donated prescription glasses, sunglasses, and card readers, but only sunglasses and card readers can be distributed in the U.S. All other donations go to help individuals in developing countries.
Shopping Skills of Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Some shop assistants recommend green-blue light-blocking glasses, explaining that the principle of tinting lenses is different and that you should be careful because green can not really block blue rays. There are blue-light-blocking glasses that are blue. And this belongs to blue light protection with no background color, which can not completely prevent blue light into the eye, usually only 20% to 30%.
If you need reading glasses when using a computer, you may want to choose a lower reading glasses power. This is because most people view their screen from a greater distance from their eyes than when they are reading a book or a magazine.
However, if you need reading glasses for looking at something very close or very small, you may need a pair of stronger power glasses.
In most cases, when two reading glasses’ powers seem equally suitable, choose the glasses with the lower power. Picking reading glasses that are too string typically will cause more discomfort problems than reading glasses that are a little too weak.
