What are TR90 glasses?

TR-90 (Plastic Titanium) is a kind of polymer material with memory. It is the most popular ultra-light material in the world at present. It has the characteristics of super toughness, collision resistance and abrasion resistance, low friction coefficient, and can effectively prevent the damage caused to the eyes and face due to the fracture and friction of the frame during the movement.


Use them in exchange for a new pair.

A trade-in would be an excellent option. The old eyeglasses can be recycled by taking them to the optical shop, which is a low carbon and environmentally friendly.



Essilor Lenses

'Seeing the world better' is the goal that Essilor has always pursued, and 'people-oriented, winning with quality' is the basic point of Essilor's business philosophy. Essilor believes that the competition of talents is the foundation of all competitions. Only the personnel with professional ethics and professional ability can a company start from nothing and grow from small to large. The establishment of brand image and recognition by consumers can become a reality.

At the same time, they establish a good relationship with retailers and distributors, so that they can develop together for a long time, and pursue a real 'win-win'.

Essilor’s flagship brands include Varilux, Crizal, Airwear, etc. Varilux myopia lenses are mainly progressive lenses with super high refractive index and high-quality visual field, and the lenses are ultra-light and ultra-thin. Crizal lenses have excellent anti-fouling, abrasion resistance, anti-glare functions, and good light transmittance. Airwear lenses are PC lenses, and their chemical name is polycarbonate, which is a thermoplastic material. PC lenses are extremely tough and will not break (2cm can be used for bullet-proof glass), so they are also called safety lenses, which are currently the lightest materials used for lenses.


Benefits of glasses without nose pads

Glasses without nose pads are mostly used for sheet materials because the sheet material is lighter and not allergic. From the viewpoint of aesthetics and comfort, no nose pads are more suitable. Glasses without nose pads have a relatively small contact area with the bridge of the nose, so it is not easy to have obvious indentations on the bridge of the nose, while glasses with nose pads will have obvious indentations after wearing them for a long time.

In addition to supporting the frame, the nose pad has another function to prevent allergies and avoid discomfort caused by allergies to metals or other materials. Whether it is better to have glasses with nose pads or without nose pads, depends on your personal situation. If your nose is sensitive to weight or the bridge of your nose is lower, you should choose glasses with nose pads. If you are particularly looking for beauty and don't want any marks on your face, then choose glasses without nose pads.

In fact, it is hard to say which one is better between nose pads and no nose pads. The key is to look at personal preference and wearing comfort. Generally speaking, a high nose bridge is suitable for choosing frames without nose pads. It is more suitable to choose the frames with nose pads for people with flat nose bridges in order to prevent the glasses from sliding off and affecting the visual effect.



How to know if lens is polarized?

Make use of LCD screens. Point the glasses horizontally at the LCD screen and then rotate them upward by 45 degrees clockwise. If it is a polarized lens, it will show a change in color deepening. If it does not change no matter how you rotate it, it is not a polarized lens. You can borrow another person's polarized lens or have previously worn a known true polarizer, and place it crossover with the new glasses you want to buy. At this time, you should see the object clearly from the crossover part with your eyes. Then cross the glasses vertically and horizontally, and at this point, the opposite object should not be visible from the intersection. If this condition is satisfied, it means that a true polarized lens is being tested.


What Is Blue Light Glasses?

Blue light glasses are designed to absorb excess blue light from the many kinds of digital screens in our home and the office spaces. Blue light glasses is becoming more and more popular because it can protect the eyes from the invisible but harmful blue light projected by digital screens.

The lenses of prescription glasses

Common materials for lenses include glass, resin, and PC. The glass is fragile and heavy, and few people wear it anymore. PC film is tough and not fragile, but it is not resistant to high temperature and the surface is easily scratched. The most common type of lens on the market today is the resin lens, which is light in weight, hard to break, and reasonable in price. At present, it is generally recommended that you choose resin sheets, and it is recommended that people with ultra-high myopia choose glass sheets.

Generally, lenses can be divided into spherical and aspherical surfaces according to different curvature designs. When choosing, refer to the degree of the eye. For people with lower degrees, There are fewer differences between the two shapes. For people with moderate to high myopia, aspherical lenses will have better imaging effects and clearer vision.

When choosing a lens, a parameter that is often mentioned is the refractive index. Common refractive indexes are 1.56, 1.60, 1.67, and 1.74. With the same degree, the higher the refractive index, the thinner the lens.
