Choose lenses with good optical clarity.
If you're wearing low-cost glasses, the quality of the polycarbonate lenses may not be as good as expected. If you wear a pair of safety glasses and the lenses look cloudy or have tiny distortions, it's a sign of poor optical quality. Lenses with excellent optical quality are free from aberrations and imperfections, and they allow to be seen using as close to natural vision as possible.
How to know if lens is polarized?
Make use of LCD screens. Point the glasses horizontally at the LCD screen and then rotate them upward by 45 degrees clockwise. If it is a polarized lens, it will show a change in color deepening. If it does not change no matter how you rotate it, it is not a polarized lens. You can borrow another person's polarized lens or have previously worn a known true polarizer, and place it crossover with the new glasses you want to buy. At this time, you should see the object clearly from the crossover part with your eyes. Then cross the glasses vertically and horizontally, and at this point, the opposite object should not be visible from the intersection. If this condition is satisfied, it means that a true polarized lens is being tested.
How long does it take to get used to progressive lenses?
Because the adjustment of each eye is different, so there will be some differences in the adaptation period. It usually takes about two weeks to get used to it. Probably many young people are familiar with this kind of lens, so they adapt to them for only a week or so and can restore the normal visual effect. If it's been two weeks and you still feel that you can't see clearly, or you have the feeling of nausea, etc., then you need to test and adjust. You need to go to the hospital to see the specific case, to find out whether it is a quality problem of the sunglasses, or there are some artificial reasons. If there is a problem, we should also replace the lenses in time, otherwise, it may lead to the problem of visual fatigue. Therefore, it is still necessary to promptly confirm the case of optometry, and then replace the appropriate glasses.
Should I wear driving glasses at night?
In fact, it is not safe to use any colored lenses while driving. You might consider how much color plays in your average driving experience. Red, yellow, green, orange traffic signs, and other vital signs are designed to remind you to pay attention to safety signals and directions while driving. However, if you see everything turn yellow, you may miss a sign and end up making the wrong decision at the traffic light, or worse, an accident.
Another disadvantage is that they do not have a prescription. If you are looking for a pair of standard night driving glasses on the market, you will find that most of them are standard over-the-counter glasses. To have night-driving glasses that can correct vision, you must customize them in an optical shop, and the price is much higher. Under the hype of the night vision feature, you can expect the cost of prescription night driving glasses to be too high.

Costs are lower for online stores.
The most fundamental reason is cost. The cost is not just the cost of the glasses, and there are many other aspects of the cost. If it is an online store, it only needs a warehouse, a computer, a customer service, which can meet the needs. And if it has the factory direct sales, then the product purchase cost is lower. The online shop needs publicity fees. For a physical store, the superior location, high rent, water, electricity, and labor costs, a variety of optometry processing instruments are valuable. There is a lot of brand publicity, decoration costs. These aspects are the cost of physical stores to pay.
The advantages are not the same.
The cellulose acetate frame is acetate plastic, belonging to a kind of thermoplastic material, and it is a material for nearly 20 years. It is widely used in the glasses industry material. Now with the progress of processing technology, it can be divided into plate and injection molding. The acrylic frame of the propionic acid fiber belongs to a kind of thermoplastic material. The appearance is transparent. The main feature is that the material density is high. They are hard to burn and are not easy to change color, with Impact resistance. It has softness, dimensional stability, and good processing formability. Many high-grade plate glasses are based on these high-quality plates, so the quality is more reliable. It is designed for a large number of people and the pursuit of quality of life students, especially for women.
What should drivers notice when wearing polarized glasses?
Many drivers like to wear polarized lenses. Indeed, the polarized lens can reduce strong light, eliminate glare, so that the line of sight is natural and soft, but the polarized lens is more suitable for fishing, skiing, and other large areas of the reflective environment. Drivers sometimes have to face the tunnel and another dark scene, the polarized lens is easy to make people suddenly feel dark at the moment. In addition, polarized lenses can make LCD screens and LED traffic lights dim. Therefore, when choosing polarizers, it is best to choose good quality optics, and when going through the tunnel, it is best to take off your glasses ahead of time and blink a lot. Before wearing the driver polarizing lens, try it on and observe whether the polarizing film of the lens is smooth. If the polarizing film is uneven, there will be inflow in the imaging, which may lead to visual fatigue and migraine.
