Glasses Size - Temple Length
The length of the temple is the length of the arm of your glasses. It's how far the arm is bent, all the way to where it intersects the frame. Although lengths may range from 120 to 150 mm, there are some common industry standards:135, 140, 145, and 150 mm. The temples are long enough to extend beyond your ears, so the ends can be changed to match the contours of your head behind your ears.
Do you need to wear glasses to drive?
In the evening, lights from street lamps, buildings, and other vehicles create a lot of reflection on the windshield, making it hard to see. It's even worse when it rains. But if your glasses have an anti-reflective coating, they can reduce the glare and reflections, allowing you to see more clearly while driving at night.
The style of prescription glasses
Choose the material, and then choose the style. The width of the appropriate frame should match the distance between the two pupils to ensure that the eye can pass through the optical center when looking at things. Choose the right style according to your face shape. Generally follow the complementarity principle, such as choosing square frames for round faces and round frames for square faces. After choosing the frame, you should try it on for a while to see if the weight is appropriate and the style is suitable.
Don’t Do When Cleaning Glasses
Here are something you can’t do when cleaning the glasses.
1. Don’t use your shirttail, blouse, or other clothing to clean your glasses, especially when the lenses are dry because they will scratch your lenses.
2. Don’t use the saliva to wet your lenses.
3. Don’t use some surface cleaners to clean your eyeglasses because they may damage glasses lenses and coatings.
4. Don’t use some paper to clean your lenses, such as paper towels, napkins, or some tissues. They may scratch or smear your lenses or make them full of lint.
5. Don’t try to remove a scratch on your lenses by buffing away. This action can make the situation worse.
Production technology of progressive lenses
In addition to the evolution in design, the production technology of progressive lenses is also constantly improving: the most representative one is the free-form technology. The emergence of free-form surface technology makes the production more flexible and rapid and can realize a more personalized design. For now, progressive lens design is done on the inside surface of the lens by a computer-controlled lathe, as if a master engraver could carve a piece of stone into a work of art.
Glasses Size - Lens Height
Lens height is the length between the top edge of a lens and the bottom edge of that lens. Lens height is the distance between the lowest point of the lens and the top of the frame above it. This number may be influenced by the style of your glasses.
Who should wear low bridge glasses?
According to the website of the American Optical Association, low-bridge glasses are for people with a low bridge of the nose (when your nose is at or below the pupil level), a wide face, or high cheekbones. This pair of glasses fit anyone with a low nose. If you have a tall bridge, it's great to have a bridge near the eyebrow line. If you have a low bridge of the nose, a more curved brow or a lower bridge of the nose frame is a better choice. Because the dimensions of the bridge are measured from the inside of the frame, a thick-sided frame with the same bridge dimensions and a very thin frame will not fit. It may actually be too small. Because it allows for extra edges.
