How to Get Used to Progressive Lenses?
It is common that your vision may change when you are over age 40. You can find it is happening when have to hold your favorite book, the daily newspaper, or a restaurant menu farther away just to read it. This is an eye condition called presbyopia. It is normal and almost all of us get it as we reach middle age.
This eye condition often can be corrected by progressive lenses which allow you to see objects from far to near clearly. With progressive lenses, you do not have to switch your glasses to see far or near objects frequently.
However, since progressive glasses have three different prescriptions in one lens, it may be difficult for some people to adapt to the new ones. So, in this post, we will show you how to get used to progressive lenses.
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.
Wear glasses timely.
You must pay attention to that whether it is myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism, it is recommended to wear glasses in time. Especially for children, for the first time, it is recommended to have professional ophthalmic optometry. If it is pseudomyopia, temporarily they do not wear glasses. Drugs, physiotherapy, and other methods can be used to promote rehabilitation. If it is true myopia because the axis of the eye has increased, it should be corrected as early as possible, and then take comprehensive prevention and treatment measures to control the deepening of myopia. Otherwise, it will not only affect study life but can make myopia more and more serious.
Women's glasses are increasingly fashionable.
As for the color, there are a variety of metallic colors, unreal colors, transparent or translucent tones. The frame design is gorgeous and dazzling. There is an implicit low-key style with the brand logo embedded in the frame. Many models combine two or more materials, such as metals and plastics, in a unique way. There are both very bright colors and natural hues, with a wide selection.
What is the cheapest way to buy prescription glasses?
The choice of frames is not only good-looking but also has a lot to do with whether the polished glasses can be worn correctly. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the selection of spectacle frames, and the pupil distance and the optical center of the spectacle lens should be placed in a suitable position. It should also match the shape of the face so that the paired glasses are not only beautiful but also comfortable to wear. If you don’t choose a frame according to this, but choose anyone according to the general rules, the pupils will not match the optical center of the glasses, and the deflection center of the glasses will appear, causing the prism effect, which is very harmful to the eyes. How do choose a frame? Glasses are worn on the face after all, and they have a decorative effect, so you still have to see if they fit your face shape. In addition, the weight should be light and the frame size should be appropriate. It is best to measure the interpupillary distance, otherwise, it is easy to cause squint and cross-sight. It is safer for children to choose a plate frame with resin lenses. There is a wide range of options for adults. Glass lenses have higher hardness and are not easy to wear, while resin lenses have lower hardness but lightweight, good clarity, and higher protection against ultraviolet rays. Although crystals are expensive, they have high ultraviolet and infrared transmittance.
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.
Benefits of glasses
You don't need a special cleaning plan, and they don't require much care. You can choose from a variety of frames to suit your style. If your vision stays the same, you won't need to change your glasses as often. You don't need to touch your eyes to wear them, and in addition, glasses can adjust the amount of light entering your eyes for optimal comfort and vision. Glasses are more powerful modifiers than contact lenses. Glasses are not only used as a tool to correct vision but as accessories. On different occasions, the different dresses should match different frame glasses, reflecting the person's different temperament.
