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.
Try to avoid wearing the following glasses.
If you need to wear glasses while driving, you'll need special glasses when driving at night, because common lenses reflect oncoming lights, which produces a faint glare. This will reduce your visibility. It's OK to wear contact lenses while driving. As you get older, your eyes become more sensitive to glare. Ordinary sunglasses or goggles are only suitable for wearing during the day, driving at night will seriously affect the vision (national standards stipulate that light transmittance of night driving glasses must be greater than75%). Although the all-weather driving glasses can weaken the strong lights, the vision darkens and affects road safety which does not meet the national standards for driving glasses at night. You should choose functional driving glasses that can block strong light, glare and increase the field of vision. This can effectively reduce the glare of the car lights but can filter out the extra harmful light. When worn at night, it can soften the strong lights and make the vision clearer. In this way, the safety of drivers is ensured, the fatigue of eyes is alleviated, and the radiation damage of harmful lights to glasses is prevented.
Do blue light glasses really protect your eyes?
Scientists at the University of Kansas in the United States summarized the results of studies around the world in the past 30 years and pointed out that there is not enough evidence in human trials to prove that blue light is related to macular degeneration, and there is no test showing that blocking blue light glasses are related to macular degeneration. Moreover, experts from the University of S?o Paulo in Brazil have observed after five years that patients who use anti-blue light intraocular lenses after cataract surgery have no difference in the incidence of macular disease compared with those who use ordinary intraocular lenses.
Full-Rim Frame Glasses
This kind of spectacle frame is relatively common. This kind of spectacle frame is relatively strong, not easy to deform, and can bear a considerable part of the thickness of the lens. Choose a pair of full-frame glasses according to your face shape. Wearing it is a fashionable choice. Women can choose thin-edged metal frames, while men choose sheet metal frames to look younger and more fashionable.
Eyeglass pinches your nose.
Not only can a pair of glasses that pinch your nose be uncomfortable, but chronic stress can also lead to headaches or migraines. How you solve this problem depends on your frame material. If you're wearing a metal frame, just use your thumb to widen the plastic nose pad until the frame fits comfortably. If wearing plastic frames, after soaking the glasses arm in warm water for 30 to 60 seconds, gently press the glasses arm outward to make the glasses more comfortable. If your glasses continue to clamp your nose after adjustment, seek help from a professional optician.
Can you use rubbing alcohol to clean glasses?
The stimulus effect of alcohol will damage the coating of the lens. If the coating of the lens is destroyed, the transmittance of the lens will decrease and the clarity of the lens will decrease. In addition, if the film layer of the lens is damaged, the scratch resistance and anti-reflective properties of the lens will decrease. Especially if the film layer of the lens is damaged severely, the lens is easily scratched, which directly affects the vision. Therefore, when cleaning the lens, you must be careful not to use irritating cleaning.
How to buy plano lens?
You had better not buy off-the-shelf plano lens, buy by fixed matching, just like matching with myopic glasses. The price is much more expensive than the finished product. However, the quality of the finished glasses is not guaranteed, and the materials are also poor, which is not only not helpful to you, but harmful for a long time. There is no essential difference between degrees and workmanship technology for the lenses, what should choose is the brand lens film of the lens, and the transmittance of the lens, and the design technology of the lens, to buy a good lens (including smooth lens).
