Reading Glasses
At present, there are two prescriptions for reading glasses. One is to adjust the power of glasses with clear objects at close range, plus 1/3 of the power for adjustment. The other is to use low power that can see close objects clearly. The practice of many elderly people has proved that the latter one is better between two methods.
What is a progressive lens?
A progressive lens is a lens whose upper sides are used to see far, and the lower side is used to see near. The distance from the fixed distance power above the lens to the near power fixed below the lens does not change suddenly, but a gradual transition between the two through the gradual change in refractive power.
Standard progressive lenses are multifocal lenses with three observation areas, farsightedness, intermediate vision, and nearsightedness. Unlike bifocals, there are no visible lines between each viewing area. They have a seamless, invisible design, where the optical power changes 'gradually' throughout the lens. Many people confuse 'bifocal' or 'trifocal' with 'progressive' but remember that bifocals and trifocals have visible lines in the lens, while progressive lenses do not. Because progressive lenses have no lines in the lens, they are more popular multifocal lenses than bifocal lenses. However, is progressive lens good for eyes?
What Is Polycarbonate Lens?
Polycarbonate was invented in the 1970s for aerospace applications and is currently used for the helmet visors of astronauts and for space shuttle windshields.
Polycarbonate lenses were introduced in the early 1980s in response to a demand for lightweight, impact-resistance lenses. Since then, polycarbonate glasses have become standard for safety glasses, sports goggles, and children’s eyewear.
Polycarbonate glasses come with a lot of features such as thin and light and they provide 100% percent UV protection and are up to 10 times more impact-resistance than plastic pr glasses lenses.
Why Do My Glasses Give Me a Headache?
Why do my glasses give me a headache? There are a lot of reasons for new glasses headaches. So, in this section, we will list some of them.
Muscle strain: each eye contains six muscles. Since your eyes learn how to view the world through a new prescription, these muscles have to work harder do differently than they did before. So, this action may cause muscle strain within the eye and a headache. If you are wearing glasses for the first time or if your prescription has changed significantly, you may be prone to this effect.
Multiple lens power: if you have changed to a multiple lens power of glasses like bifocal glasses, varifocal glasses, it may be difficult to adapt in a short time. So, this change will lead to some problems such as headaches.
Poorly fitted frames: as for the issue of new glasses headaches, if you glasses fit too snugly across your nose or cause pressure behind your ears, you may get a headache. So, when purchasing a new pair of glasses, selecting a fitted one is important.
Wrong prescription: why do my glasses give me a headache? It can be caused by the wrong prescription. If your eyeglasses prescription is too weak or too strong, your eyes will become strained causing headaches. So, if you still suffer from headaches after wearing the new glasses for a few days, contact your eye doctor and check the prescription again.
About Polarized Sunglasses
Polarized sunglasses only absorb the reflected light of the object itself, presenting what is being seen, making the field of view clearer and thus reducing eye strain. In addition, the light through a bumpy road, water, and other places also can produce irregular diffuse light. The polarized lens can be this kind of optical filter, only absorbing the reflection of the object itself. Because of its high-efficiency filter layer, the UV blocking rate of the polarized sunglasses is 99%, which can effectively reduce UV damage to the eyes. And if you are driving, fishing, traveling, skiing, it is recommended to choose more powerful polarized sunglasses.
Why do you need to wear safety goggles correctly?
Eye strain occurs when muscles are tired from strenuous exercise (from tension to concentration), similar to what happens to other muscles in the body from strenuous exercise or overuse. Eyestrain is the result of eye pain and fatigue, often accompanied by headaches. Eye strain has a lot to do with the quality of your glasses. If you wear cheap and inferior safety glasses for hours at work, you will feel uncomfortable. While your eyes won't be permanently damaged by fatigue, it can affect your productivity.
What diopters do rimless myopic glasses suit?
What diopters do rimless myopic glasses suit? It suits myopic diopters to be used by people with diopters of 600 or less than. Usually, the high diopters are 500, 600, or above, Rimless glasses can see the lens directly. The higher the diopters, the thicker the lens. Secondly, in rimless glasses, sunlight can shine in from the axis of the lens, resulting in a dispersion effect, which has a certain impact on viewing. Thirdly, rimless lenses, without the protection of the rim, are easy to be scratched and broken, so they need to be carefully protected and stored. So to sum up, people with the diopters of 500 or 600can choose myopia rimless glasses. But it is not recommended to choose rimless glasses for people with diopters of more than 800.
