What Is Progressive Lens?
Progressive lenses, also called multifocal lenses, have three prescriptions in one pair of glasses. So, it allows you to see near, middle distance, and far objects without changing your glasses. The progressive lenses are designed for people who are over 40 years old who are both nearsighted and farsighted. The progressive lenses come with the following features:
- There is no distinct line between all visions(near, intermediate, and far).
- Most popular lens for anyone with presbyopia who wears
- Expanded intermediate zone for better computer vision.
From the above information, you may have known the differences between bifocal lenses and progressive lenses. As for progressive vs bifocal lenses, which one is better? It is difficult to judge because each of them has unique features. So, if you do not know choose which, you can listen to the eye doctor.
Glasses frame material
Children with glasses can choose a soft silicone material frame. Soft silicone is light to wear and soft at the same time. It is comfortable and does not break easily. The child is young and still in the stage of development, so consider comfort when choosing the frame. A light frame is more comfortable, such as a titanium frame, TR plate, silicone. Or the glasses should be matched according to the child's face shape and pupil distance.
Frame Selection of Progressive Sunglasses
Choose a proper frame range. Only if the frame is not very large and beveled, the frame can be very flat. Because the distance from the glazed to the optical center of a progressive multi-focus lens is 19-17 mm, and the distance between the edges of the frame will be no less than 28 mm if the area inside the lens can be used at close range while maintaining the far sighting field.
What Should You Do If Your Glasses Are Broken?
Adjust the frame by yourself. If your frame is tilted, place your glasses on a flat surface to determine which arm is higher than the other. If the right arm looks raised, you'll need to use pliers to bend the left arm down at the hinge. Or, if the left arm is raised, bend the right arm at the hinge. You can bend your metal-framed arms inward. You can turn the nose pad inward if the glasses slip under your nose. To make the frames more flexible, you can heat them with a hairdryer. If the metal frame has broken into pieces, you may need to take it to a professional. However, if your metal frames just bend, you may be able to repair them by yourself.
If you need reading glasses when using a computer, you may want to choose a lower reading glasses power. This is because most people view their screen from a greater distance from their eyes than when they are reading a book or a magazine.
However, if you need reading glasses for looking at something very close or very small, you may need a pair of stronger power glasses.
In most cases, when two reading glasses’ powers seem equally suitable, choose the glasses with the lower power. Picking reading glasses that are too string typically will cause more discomfort problems than reading glasses that are a little too weak.
How to drive at night with glasses?
If you need to wear glasses while driving, you'll need special glasses when driving at night, because common lenses reflect oncoming lights, which produces a faint glare. This will reduce your visibility. It's OK to wear contact lenses while driving. As you get older, your eyes become more sensitive to glare. Ordinary sunglasses or goggles are only suitable for wearing during the day, driving at night will seriously affect the vision (national standards stipulate that light transmittance of night driving glasses must be greater than75%). Although the all-weather driving glasses can weaken the strong lights, the vision darkens and affects road safety which does not meet the national standards for driving glasses at night. You should choose functional driving glasses that can block strong light, glare and increase the field of vision. This can effectively reduce the glare of the car lights but can filter out the extra harmful light. When worn at night, it can soften the strong lights and make the vision clearer. In this way, the safety of drivers is ensured, the fatigue of eyes is alleviated, and the radiation damage of harmful lights to glasses is prevented.
Contact Lens Material - PHEMA material
It is the earliest material used in the production of contact lens hydrophilic material. The main advantage is water absorption, with a water content of about 38%. The material is soft, but its disadvantage is only partial oxygen permeability.
