The frame of prescription glasses
At present, the more common materials for frames are non-metal and metal. Non-metals mainly include TR90, sheet material, etc., and metals include alloys, titanium, and so on. TR90 and sheet material are actually plastics, but they are firm and are not easy be deformed at room temperature. Also, they have good formability so that they can be made in many fashionable styles. The general alloy material has good firmness and flexibility, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to fade. The pure titanium frame is corrosion-resistant and very strong. It is about 40% lighter than the general alloy frame. It must be welded and electroplated in an oxygen-free state, which requires high equipment and technology. Relatively speaking, the price of TR90 and alloys will be lower, and pure titanium will be more expensive. You can choose according to your budget.
Plano Lenses vs Demo Lenses
When talking about the plano lenses, demo lenses will be talked about, too. Plano lenses are different from demo lenses. Demo lenses are nothing but lenses that are fitted into the demo frames at the optical showroom and workshops. The only purpose of demo lenses is to give a realistic aesthetic of the frame to the users so that they can get an idea of how it would look with corrective lenses. However, there is also no corrective power on demo lenses.
Compared with demo lenses, plano lenses provide good quality lenses that give your protection against harmful UV rays and blue light emitted from digital screens like laptops and desktops. In addition, you can also add an anti-glare coating to the plano glasses.
The development of glasses
In 1451, Nicholas of Cusa of Germany invented a lens that was thinner in the middle and thicker at the end to help short-sighted people. In 1727, Edward Scarlett, an English optician, invented modern frames that could be worn over ears and noses. Benjamin Franklin, an American scientist, and philosopher invented bifocals, which divide the lenses into far and near parts. The two lenses are held together by a metal frame. Frame construction has improved over the centuries, and today frames have come in different kinds of styles and designs. Unbreakable lenses were invented in 1955, and in 1971 a new type of lens combining plastic and glass properties was invented.
The categories of rimless glasses
Rimless glasses can be divided into metal rimless glasses and plastic rimless glasses according to the material. According to the metal category, they can be divided into nickel-copper alloy, memory titanium alloy rimless frames.
According to the elastic order of the frame, the softest and elastic kind is the plastic rimless glasses. The benefits are the lightest weight and the lowest price. The disadvantages are the short service life, faded look after the sun, and single appearance, which are suitable for children or teenagers in the stage of corrective treatment. The second elasticity is the memory titanium alloy rimless frame. They use aviation metal titanium as the raw material, suitable for people with sensitive skin, and have lighter quality, better durability, more styles.
Anti-fog lens cloth
Anti-fogging glasses cloth is composed of multiple layers of material pressed together, and the material absorbed a sufficient amount of antifogging agent. It can be directly wiped on any lens. Like spray anti-fogging agents, anti-fogging time is relatively short, and can not be wiped or washed. Long time use will affect the life of the lens. The range of lenses available is limited.
Choose a frame for your face
People with round faces should try to avoid round frames, which can make your face look fatter. You can choose a square frame, having a decorated effect, and can make a person look more energetic. Circular lenses are recommended for square faces. Rectangular faces are also suitable for circular lenses. There are not too many restrictions on the choice of lenses for heart-shaped faces. Circular or square pieces are very appropriate, but you can choose slightly larger frames to add momentum and can create a retro sense.
