Functional zoning of the store
After determining its own positioning, the layout and functional partition of the optical store is very important. From the overall decoration to the details of the layout, they should reflect the professionalism and coordination of the optical shop. The general partitions of the optical shops include the eyeglasses business area, optometry room, contact lens wearing area, processing room, and cashier desk. The eyeglasses business area can be divided into more small modules separately. The division of the area should have a fixed standard. For example, the arrangement of this area can be selected according to the purpose, user group, occasion, and theme of the glasses.
Step-by-Step Glasses Size Guide
In this section, we will show you how to perform glasses measurements. But the first thing is to know what face shape you have. If you do not know, click here to have a check.
Then you need to know where to find the size measurement of your glasses. In general, you will find numbers that look like this 51-17-145 at the temples of your eyeglasses. Of course, these numbers come at different meanings.
The first number often refers to the lens width. Lens width is the horizontal diameter of the lens at its widest point. In optometry, another term is eye size.
The second number often means the bridge width. Bridge width is the part that joins the two lenses and sits over the nose. Some refer to this as the gap. The bridge width varies between 14 and 24 millimeters.
The third number often means the temple length. The temple is the arm that keeps the sunglasses on your face. That arm extends to the part that hangs on the ears. The length is usually 135, 140, or 145 millimeters.
Lens height measures the size of the lens vertically, that is from the top to the bottom of the lens. Although sizes may differ depending on the brand, the standard size is somewhere between 32 and 38 millimeters.
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.
Geometric Clear sunglasses
The geometric shape of sunglasses is really novel, with the front and back of the two layers of design, to add a rich sense of line to the cheek. Choose individual character dyed-in pick eyebrow, matching again super short hair, individual and fashionable.
Why are rimless glasses so expensive?
Although the overall volume of materials selected for rimless glasses is a little less, the special structure of rimless glasses requires much higher physical properties (flexibility, surface texture, etc.) and processing accuracy than TR, PEI, and other materials. Rimless glasses require higher quality lenses. For example, lens materials with a refractive index of 1.56 tend to be brittle for rimless glasses and should be chosen with caution. Generally speaking, the time of processing about three pairs of half-frame glasses is equal to the time of processing of a pair of rimless glasses.
How are we nearsighted?
The light from external objects to the eye needs to be refracted by the lens before it can be imaged on the retina. The refractive power of the lens depends on the contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle. When we look at close objects, the ciliary muscles contract and the lens becomes thicker. When we look at distant objects, the ciliary muscles relax and the lens becomes thinner. Adjust the focal length of near and far objects so that they will show a clear image on the retina. If you use your eyes too often and the longer the ciliary muscles work continuously, the ciliary muscles will spasm because of too much tension. At this time, the lens cannot be adjusted and thinned. After the light from a distant object is refracted by the lens, the imaging position will fall in front of the retina instead of on the retina. Only a blurred image can be seen, which becomes myopia.
There is another situation. For some people, due to genetic factors, in the process of growth and development, the front and rear wheelbase of the eyeball will gradually become longer. In this way, although the adjustment function of the ciliary muscle and the lens is normal, the image formed will also fall in front of the retina due to the longer the axis distance of the eyeball, which can also cause myopia.
The two causes of myopia are different. Myopia caused by ciliary muscle spasm is called 'pseudo-myopia'. As long as the ciliary muscles are relaxed, myopia can be reversed. Myopia caused by the extension of the wheelbase of the front and back of the eyeball is called 'true myopia', which cannot be reversed and can only be corrected by myopia glasses.
Difference Between Sunglasses and Optical Frame Glasses
Sunglasses are basically applied to block sunlight and adornment effect. But in the choice of lens material and lens craft respect, it is not very particular. Correspondingly, consumer wears for a fixed number of years, to be in one season or two seasons. Sunglasses are sold with obvious seasonality. Optical glasses are mainly suitable for the use of photometric glasses. Both the lens material and the production process have higher requirements. A panchromatic or half chromatic resin lens is added to an optical lens, and then they can be sunglasses and can try luminosity, made of myopic sunglasses.
