What's the difference between optical frames and normal frame?
The optical frame is used in optical products, but decorative glasses and fashion frames are not in this category. Optical glasses require even treatment of lens pressure, so the inner wall should be even and smooth. Optical glasses require high levels of ergonomics, lens angle, and so on. The optical frame material is more consistent with the structure of the human body. It is more comfortable to wear without side effects.
Step-by-Step Glasses Size Guide
In this section, we will show you how to perform glasses measurements. But the first thing is to know what face shape you have. If you do not know, click here to have a check.
Then you need to know where to find the size measurement of your glasses. In general, you will find numbers that look like this 51-17-145 at the temples of your eyeglasses. Of course, these numbers come at different meanings.
The first number often refers to the lens width. Lens width is the horizontal diameter of the lens at its widest point. In optometry, another term is eye size.
The second number often means the bridge width. Bridge width is the part that joins the two lenses and sits over the nose. Some refer to this as the gap. The bridge width varies between 14 and 24 millimeters.
The third number often means the temple length. The temple is the arm that keeps the sunglasses on your face. That arm extends to the part that hangs on the ears. The length is usually 135, 140, or 145 millimeters.
Lens height measures the size of the lens vertically, that is from the top to the bottom of the lens. Although sizes may differ depending on the brand, the standard size is somewhere between 32 and 38 millimeters.
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.
Transition Lenses Problems
It is not convenient to rely on photochromic lenses when driving. It also may be unsafe if the driver depends on the prescription to see or is legally bound to wear prescription lenses when driving.
Besides, transition lenses are typically the size and shape of regular vision-correction lenses, which allows them to accurately correct the field of vision, but does not account for peripheral areas on either side of the visible range. Sunglasses operate by maintaining very dark glasses that expand over the field of vision and the peripheral with large, oblong lenses that block sunlight from both the front and sides. However, transition lenses are not typically dark enough for heavy sun and cannot block light penetration on the peripheral, leading to people having to resort to sunglasses again.
Of course, there are some benefits of transition lenses and you can click here to learn more.
Aluminum Night Driving Glasses
These night vision glasses feature advanced HD technology. The aluminum frame is lightweight, allowing you to comfortably wear your driving glasses and reduce glare for safe driving. Because the lenses are yellow, these glasses act as night vision goggles to reduce glare, reflections, and their negative effects, while improving and brightening the visual area. Polarized lenses have a special anti-reflective coating that eliminates intense reflected light and reduces glare and scattered reflections. They can double as day and night glasses, improving clarity around the clock.
What is a progressive lens?
Progressive multifocal lenses are lenses with different upper and lower powers for seeing far above and below for seeing near. The distance from the fixed far power above the lens to the near power fixed below the lens does not change suddenly, but a gradual transition between the two through the gradual change in refractive power. Compared with ordinary lenses, there are many advantages. The appearance of the lens is like a single vision lens, and the dividing line of the power change is not visible. Not only is the appearance beautiful, but more importantly, it protects the age privacy of the wearer, and there is no need to worry about revealing the age secret due to wearing glasses.
Since the change of the lens power is gradual, there will be no image jump. It is comfortable to wear and easy to adapt. So it is easy to be accepted. Because the degree is gradual, the replacement of the adjustment effect is gradually increased according to the shortening of the short distance. There is no adjustment fluctuation, and it is not easy to cause visual fatigue. Clear vision can be obtained at all distances in the visual range.
Such a pair of glasses meets the use of long-distance, near-use and various distances in the middle at the same time. It is especially good news for teachers, doctors, music workers, and computer operators, because these people not only need to see far and near objects clearly, but most of the time they also need to be able to see middle distance objects such as blackboards, piano scores, and computer screens. . This is not possible with any lens other than progressive lenses.
Adolescents and adults with myopia
Teenagers have heavy learning tasks, and excessive eye use is the norm, so pseudomyopia is the majority. And many of them have false and true myopia coexistence. As adolescents grow and hair, the eyeballs are also developing, and the wheelbase may be further lengthened, so myopia will continue to progress and deepen. The use of mydriatics by adolescents can force the ciliary muscles to relax and eliminate pseudomyopia. But after the pupil is dilated, the ciliary muscles will also lose their ability to adjust, changing from 'nearsightedness' to 'hyperopia', which will delay daily learning. And after the efficacy of the drug has passed, if you continue to use your eyes unscientifically, pseudomyopia will still occur. Therefore, the mydriatic agent is only used as an auxiliary method to eliminate false myopia when wearing myopia glasses, not as a treatment method for myopia.
Adult myopia is based on true myopia. In addition, the eyeballs of adults will no longer develop, so the degree of myopia is relatively fixed and rarely changes.
