Does blue light cause damage to the eyes?
Businesses often associate blue light with mobile phones and computers that everyone frequently touches. There are also many terrible explanations about blue light on the Internet, ranging from causing damage to the eyes to causing cancer. Therefore, in recent years, mass media and academic circles have caused heated discussions about the possible impact of blue light on eye health.
It is believed that the reason why blue light harms the eyes is that blue light is not like ultraviolet light which is absorbed by the cornea and lens so that it cannot reach the retina. Blue light can reach the retina through the refractive medium of the eye, and over time it will cause the aging and functional degradation of the retina. But in fact, the eyes have many protection mechanisms in the process of evolution, such as squinting, pupil contraction, lutein contained in the macula of the retina, the anti-oxidant repair mechanism of the retina, etc., which can protect our eyes from the damage of blue light. Also, after scientific testing, the blue light emitted by electronic products is a few percent of the intensity of blue light in natural light, which means that as long as the electronic products are not used continuously every day (for example, more than 8 hours a day), blue light will not be causes obvious damage to the eyes.
Optometry for prescription glasses
The key prerequisite for proper glasses is accurate optometry. In foreign countries, professional optometrists are generally required to be qualified to issue prescriptions for optometry. However, this is not very standardized in China. Many optometrists have only been trained for a short period of time and do not have the basic knowledge of ophthalmology. For some complex situations, they may not give a proper prescription for glasses. Therefore, optometry should choose a qualified institution. If you are adolescents, people with high myopia, people with anisometropia, etc., you may need to dilate your pupils for optometry. It is best to go to the optometry center of the hospital for optometry.
What glasses are best for night driving?
You had better not make myopia sunglasses directly with sunglasses frame. The radian of a lot of sunglasses is too high. When the nearsightedness lens that uses 400 degrees directly is squeezed into radian even 600 degrees to 800 degrees frame. The actual degree of the lens and other parameters will change. And, to meet the processing that sunglasses frame needs, the pupil distance of most myopic sunglasses was magnified 4 mm above. This is eye damage! No matter what style or look your glasses are, make sure they are specifically designed to eliminate glare and improve your view.
How much does it cost to add the blue light filter to glasses?
Based on the difference in the impact of blue light of different bands on the human body, the blue light transmittance of each band of the product is separately required. For example, in the range of 415-445 nanometers, the light transmittance should be less than or equal to 80%, and above 445 nanometers, it should be greater than 80%. In this way, the anti-blue light products can be restricted, which can effectively shield the blue light that poses a health and safety risk to the human body, but also allows the blue light of the waveband that regulates the human body's circadian rhythm to be effectively transmitted.
Anti-blue glasses are not suitable for everyone. It is only suitable for people who use electronic products for a long time, not for people who are visually fatigued, and teenagers should not wear them for a long time. Furthermore, anti-blue glasses should not be regarded as a 'talisman' and use your eyes uncontrollably after wearing them. Therefore, when using electronic equipment, people must abide by the laws of nature, ensure the normal rest of the eyes, and maintain eye health.
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.
Can clear lenses be polarized?
At present, there are no clear polarized lenses. A polarized lens is a thin film vertically arranged with silicon crystal coating placed inside the lens, just like a shutter, which covers the parallel light and only allows the vertical light to pass through. In this way, the glare from all directions can be eliminated, so it is clear and comfortable to wear. Transparent polyamide, the material of nylon lens, is a new variety of polyamide. The material of the nylon lens is mainly transparent polyamide. Due to the effect of the light filter, only light from a specific direction is allowed to pass through the lens, which filters the dazzling light from the sun on the water, land, or snow very well. It can not only make the landscape soft, clear, and natural but protect the eyes to a certain extent.
Optometry glasses are not professional
Some people will not only experience dizziness when they change their glasses but also have headaches, nausea, vomiting, inattention, neurasthenia, and other symptoms from time to time. And some people even deepen myopia. This is most likely due to unqualified glasses and inaccurate optometry. In short, this eye discomfort is caused by the inconsistency between the power of the glasses and the actual condition of the eyes. Optometry before filling a prescription is a very important step. In addition to checking myopia and astigmatism, it is also necessary to check for eye disease, binocular vision balance, monocular ability, primary vision discrimination, interpupillary distance, etc. In this way, suitable glasses can be fitted according to the overall situation of the person's eyes. The spectacles must also match the parameters of vertex, interpupillary distance, cylindrical lens axis position, etc. Otherwise, it will directly affect the effect of correcting vision, cause the user's visual fatigue, and increase the emphasis on power loss.
