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.


Understand the impact of frame selection on the lens

Frame size is an important consideration when using progressive lenses because some progressive lenses work better in frames of different sizes. Since progressive lenses allow you to see at all distances, it's important that the whole range of vision fits within the frame. Therefore, very short lenses and larger lenses are not suitable for progressive lenses.



How to Perform Glasses Measurements?

If there is no number on the temple of eyeglasses, you can perform glasses measurements by yourself. Now, we will show how to do that.

To measure the glasses’ size, you need to prepare a ruler or a tape first. To measure the frame width, measure the entire horizontal front of the frame, from the furthest extended point on either side. As for lens height, you should measure the vertical height of the lens. As for the bridge, you should measure the part that goes across the bridge of your nose. The temple arms include the front of the frame on either side and the rest behind your ear. The lens width is the horizontal diameter of one lens. So, when measuring these, you should be careful.
