How Do I Know What Strength Reading Glasses To Get?

What kind of glasses are bifocals?

Bifocals are mainly used in presbyopia correction, providing presbyopic opticians with a clear vision for both near and far use in one pair of glasses. The bifocal lens can be divided into two separate areas, with the upper part of the lens providing clear distance vision and the lower part providing clear near vision. The two regions of the bifocal lens provide different refractive forces, and the difference between these two refractive forces is the reading proximal addition, which compensates for adjustment during presbyopic reading.


Bifocal Lens

Bifocal lenses have two observation areas separated by visible lines, a larger observation distance area, and a smaller reading area. It may take some time for people who are wearing bifocal glasses for the first time to get used to the lenses. This is mainly due to learning how to move the eyes between the observation distance area and the reading area. Some people will also find that there will be an 'image jump' phenomenon at the visible line between the distance and the reading area, especially for those with limited mobility, who must look down when walking. The best way to get used to bifocals is to wear them as much as possible.



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.


Characteristics of titanium frames

Titanium is widely used in the eyewear industry because it is not easy to deform, fade and has strong stability. The glasses frame made of titanium can highlight the noble taste and elegant temperament. The glasses frame made of titanium can be divided into pure titanium, titanium alloy, and beta-titanium frame three kinds. To learn about titanium frames, how to identify pure titanium frames?

Titanium frame has the benefits of low density, high strength, good mechanical properties, and strong corrosion resistance. The frame is very light and not easily corroded by moisture. However, due to the poor process performance of titanium alloy, machining is very difficult, the glasses frame made of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and other chemical impurities are more absorbed. The wear resistance of titanium alloy is relatively poor, and the production process is relatively complex, so the cost is relatively high and the workmanship is relatively complicated when using this material to make the spectacle frame. The price is much more expensive than the common spectacle frame.



What is blue light?

Our daily lives are inseparable from mobile phones, computers, tablet computers, and other electronic products. Many people's eyesight is also going downhill due to long-term exposure to strong light electronic screens, and their eyes are more or less potentially adversely affected. It is found that many optical stores sell blue light filter glasses, which have the function of blocking 99.9% UV and scattered blue light, alleviating visual fatigue. They claim that these glasses can block short-wave blue light emitted by electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, and even prevent age-related macular degeneration so they are much sought after by consumers. The price of these so-called anti-blue-light glasses varies greatly, ranging from dozens of dollars to several thousand dollars. Do these blue light blocking glasses really have so many magical functions?

The natural light seen by the human eye is composed of a spectrum of different colors, including red light, orange light, yellow light, green light, blue light, indigo light, purple light, which gives people a visual feeling of white. Different wavelengths present different colors visually, and the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. At present, products with electronic screens such as computers and mobile phones use LEDs and other materials to emit light mainly in three colors of red, green, and blue, and blue light accounts for the main part. Blue light belongs to the range of visible light, belongs to short waves. And the wavelength is between 400 nanometers and 500 nanometers, which is close to ultraviolet and carries a large amount of energy. And this part from 400 nanometers to 450 nanometers is called high-energy short-wave blue light.


About Polarized Sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses only absorb the reflected light of the object itself, presenting what is being seen, making the field of view clearer and thus reducing eye strain. In addition, the light through a bumpy road, water, and other places also can produce irregular diffuse light. The polarized lens can be this kind of optical filter, only absorbing the reflection of the object itself. Because of its high-efficiency filter layer, the UV blocking rate of the polarized sunglasses is 99%, which can effectively reduce UV damage to the eyes. And if you are driving, fishing, traveling, skiing, it is recommended to choose more powerful polarized sunglasses.

Which sunglasses are best for driving, polarized sunglasses or non-polarized sunglasses?

Polarized and non-polarized sunglasses are the same in the ability to protect against ultraviolet rays. But when you work as a driver, in addition to the front of the sun, sometimes there are highway road reflective lights, other car body reflective lights, and so on. Glare will make people's eyes uncomfortable and fatigue, and affect the clarity of vision, stimulating the eyes. Polaroid lenses can filter out light from different angles, so when you driving, is best to wear polarized sunglasses.
