Different Types of Progressive Lenses
Premium progressive lenses are designed to provide a wider and smoother view. These lenses are highly customizable for your prescription, chosen frame and eye anatomy.
Premium progressive lenses can incorporate your dominant eye into the design and make transitioning between different prescriptions feel smoother as well. However, due to these features, premium progressive lenses are more expensive than traditional lenses.
Study On the Night Driving Glasses
Researchers at Harvard's Schepens Eye Research Institute recently conducted a study to find out if wearing night driving glasses while driving at night is good for vision. All 22 participants drove under four conditions that simulated night driving, wearing either yellow night driving glasses or glasses with clear lenses. Each participant drove with or without the headlight glare simulator activated to simulate the effect of oncoming traffic. The study found that wearing glasses while driving at night didn't seem to improve: how well the participants were able to recognize pedestrians at night and negative effects of headlight glare on pedestrian detection. Our data suggest that wearing yellow lenses while driving at night does not improve performance at the most critical task: pedestrian detection, the study's authors said. A small 2019 study showed that night driving glasses can actually slow down visual reflection by a fraction of a second, making night vision worse.
What Are Glasses Without Prescription?
Nowadays, some people wear glasses not only just for correcting their vision, but also for fashion. However, for those people who do not have any eye conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, they can wear glasses without prescription.
Glasses without prescription, also called non-prescription glasses or clear lens glasses, work as a fashion statement to add style to your wardrobe. They also may serve a purpose if they have blue light blocking lenses.
Throughout the years, many people choose to wear glasses without prescription to improve their look. This trendy accessory is a reality available in a range of designs, colors and materials that can add just the right touch to your outfit.
It is important to note non-prescription glasses have zero corrective power whatsoever, while non-prescription reading glasses offer some level of magnification, enlarging what you see up-close.
The frame materials
You should choose the driver's glasses with alloy materials. The glasses made of this material are light and strong, so your ears won't be uncomfortable when you wear them for a long time.
Design principle of progressive multifocal lens
For the same piece of the lens, the top is used to see far, the bottom is used to see close. The upper and lower degrees are different.
There is not a sudden change in the distance degree fixed above the lens to the near degree fixed below the lens, but a gradual transition between the two through gradual changes in refractive power, which has special benefits over common bifocals or trifocal lenses.
Semi-Rimless Frame Glasses
Half-rim spectacle frames replace part of the spectacle frames with nylon wire, giving people the feeling of bottomless frames. It is lighter and looks more chic and firm. If you are a highly myopic friend, choose a pair of half-rim glasses, which can not only reduce the load on the bridge of your nose but also look more fashionable. Half-rim glasses are the first choice for men in the workplace, and they are more mature and stable.
What Should You Do If Your Glasses Are Broken?
A professional eyewear repair shop ensures accurate repair. Fixing metal frames requires special welding equipment and expertise, and you could injure yourself or your frame if you try to weld them by yourself. A professional can make sure your glasses are accurately repaired. If you're not precise enough in repairing a damaged frame, you may be able to see through a crooked pair of glasses, which can damage your vision. Plastic frames are easier to fix than metal frames. Fixing the frames by yourself poses a greater risk than having them repaired by a professional.
