Why are eyeglass frames are so expensive?
The industrial chain has factories, brand owners, regional general agents, retailers. Each link needs to share the risk and profit. They have high operating costs. In addition to the well-known rent, they have the costs of labor, decoration, and so on. There is another important reason. It is the inventory loss because of the style problems. This aspect of the cost must be amortized. From the structure and appearance design of the glasses frame, the development and application of raw materials, processing technology, to manufacturing equipment and procedures, the actual cost may be much higher.
Zeiss lenses
Carl Zeiss AG is a German company that manufactures optical systems, industrial measuring instruments, and medical equipment. The name of the company comes from one of its founders, German optician Carl Zeiss (1816-1888). It was established in Jena in 1846 by Carl Zeiss, Ernst Abbe and Otto Schott.
Zeiss resin lens guarantees up to 99.4% of the lens light transmittance. The naked eye can no longer feel whether the lens is worn or not. So far, only Zeiss, the leading optical industry, can bring such extraordinary extreme effects. Moreover, in order to ensure the good imaging quality of the lens and make the lens longer life, Zeiss also adopted a new coating design, imported from Korea. The unique professional technology is combined with nanotechnology so that they manufacture the good quality of the top lens.

Are titanium glasses frames worth it?
In order to exert the flexibility of the material, the β titanium frame is designed to be mostly fine and delicate, and the style is limited by this. So the price of a pure titanium glasses frame is more expensive than the beta titanium frame, of course, the comfort is higher. Beta titanium has better strength, fatigue resistance, and environmental corrosion resistance than pure titanium and other titanium alloys. It has good shape plasticity and can be made into wire and sheet, which is lighter.
Because the texture of pure titanium frame is better, so it is more expensive than other frames, at least should the price reach more than 20 dollars, if the frame is only a few dozen dollars, then it must be fake and inferior. The most important thing to avoid buying fake products is to choose brands. For example, Seiko and other well-known brands rarely have fake and inferior products, so that consumers can be more assured to buy.
How to determine whether progressive lenses are worn correctly?
Once your glasses are back from the lab, the optometrist will let you put them on for an audition and make final adjustments to make sure they fit. If the prescription is not in the center of the lens, it will make it difficult for you to see clearly. The key is that the lenses match the wearer's eyes, especially the pupils. Before ordering a new lens, the optometrist takes two measurements: pupil distance and fitting height.
Different styles of glasses
If the style of new glasses is different from the old glasses, the angles of the glasses are also different. So the new glasses will cause visual differences. The symptoms of dizziness after wearing the new glasses will occur after a short period of time. If you adapt, you should be able to return to normal.
In order to avoid discomfort in wearing glasses due to inaccurate optometry, experts suggest that myopia should choose a professional eye hospital for medical optometry. When the glasses are damaged, they should be replaced in time to avoid injury to the eyes.
Why is a prescription for glasses different from a prescription for contact lenses?
The frame glasses degrees are the optometric degrees of the eye, and the difference between the frame glasses degrees and the contact lens degrees is mainly due to the different contact distances between the two lenses and the eye. Usually, degrees of contact lenses and glasses need to be converted by a professional through vertex diopter. The conversion formula is Fc=Fs/(1-d×Fs). In the formula, Fc is the diopter of contact lens, Fs is the diopter of glasses frame lens, and D is the distance between frame glasses lens and cornea. Assuming that the prescription of frame glasses is -4.00d and the distance between lens apex is 12mm, the prescription of contact lenses is -4.00/ [1-0.012×(-4.00)] = -3.82d.
