What does the Drop Ball Test have to do with the eyewear industry?
FDA mandates that eyewear products must ensure their safety. Impact resistance is a basic norm for binding glasses and/or lenses in the United States. The FDA does say that a drop ball test must be performed on every glass lens for prescription use. The FDA-regulated eyewear products are common in the everyday lives of the public, and the FDA considers impact-resistant lenses to be an important part of the safe design of these devices. Today, safety lenses are rarely mentioned in our sales, but in the 1990s, when resin lenses first entered the Chinese market and glass lenses still dominated the market, safety lenses were a pretty important concept. At the time, the hardening technology has not been upgraded, and the resin lens is easy to wear out than the glass lens. The eyewear industry is relying on lightness, safety (anti-impact), comfort (anti-ultraviolet) step by step to achieve the market share of resin lenses from 1% to 100%.
What are progressive lenses?
Progressive lenses, also called progressive multifocal lenses, are lenses that have multiple focal points. If it is divided from the focal point, the lenses can be divided into single focal lenses, bifocal lenses, and multifocal lenses. The original intention of progressive multifocal lenses is to provide natural, convenient, and comfortable correction methods for presbyopia patients. A pair of glasses can see far away, close up, and mid-range objects. After wearing them, one pair of glasses is equivalent to using multiple glasses. Because of the different nature, characteristics and applicability, progressive lenses are more expensive than single vision lenses.
What are keyhole glasses used for?
The keyhole distributes the weight of the glasses to one side of the nose rather than the top. It's a good choice for those with broad noses. Due to the lack of support at the top, the keyhole design will result in the frame being positioned lower than the saddle bridge frame. If you find that your saddle frame causes your eyes to be located just below the center of the lens area, you may try a wider frame or opt for a keyhole design.
Advantages of Progressive Lens
Continuous and clear vision throughout the entire process is the advantage of progressive lenses. Because the added value continuously increases gradually in the gradient zone, the wearer can obtain continuous clear vision from the far point to the near point through the gradient lens under the appropriate head position. In line with physiological optics, better adaptation. The appearance is better than that of double-lens and triple-lens. There is no dividing line of sub-sheets, and there is no ring-shaped blind zone and invisible sub-sheets.
Why do you need blue-light-blocking glasses?
High-energy blue light would penetrate the lens and directly enter the retina, causing the atrophy and even death of retinal pigment epithelial cells. The death of light-sensitive cells will lead to vision loss or even complete loss, which is irreversible. Blue light at 415 nanometers to 455 nanometers is short, that is, high energy and harmful blue light. This band of blue light would penetrate the lens directly to the center of the macula, causing irreversible damage to the macula. Excessive intake of high-energy blue light would cause confusion of our biological clock, so the damage of blue light should be paid enough attention to.
The Disadvantages of Trifocal Glasses
Here, we will show you the disadvantages of trifocal glasses. If you wear the trifocal glasses for the first time, you may spend some time getting used to them. Adjusting to wearing trifocal glasses can take some time. The different fields of vision can make them disorienting at first, but over time you will get used to wearing them and your eyes will naturally move to the prescription they need for the task at hand.

Why Are My Progressive Lenses Blurry?
So, why are my progressive lenses blurry on sides? It can be caused by a lot of reasons, and we will list some of them.
The strength of progressive lenses is the factor that leads to initial peripheral blurriness. Progressive lenses tend to be blurry on the sides because each lens promotes three fields of vision. In addition, peripheral blurriness or haziness is a sensation that typically develops because more than one lens has been incorporated into one lens. The wearer also might feel as if he or she is moving from side to side.
After learning what may cause progressive lenses blurred, so how can you adapt to the progressive lenses? Therefore, in the following section, we will show you how to get used to progressive lenses.
