Study On the Night Driving Glasses
Researchers at Harvard's Schepens Eye Research Institute recently conducted a study to find out if wearing night driving glasses while driving at night is good for vision. All 22 participants drove under four conditions that simulated night driving, wearing either yellow night driving glasses or glasses with clear lenses. Each participant drove with or without the headlight glare simulator activated to simulate the effect of oncoming traffic. The study found that wearing glasses while driving at night didn't seem to improve: how well the participants were able to recognize pedestrians at night and negative effects of headlight glare on pedestrian detection. Our data suggest that wearing yellow lenses while driving at night does not improve performance at the most critical task: pedestrian detection, the study's authors said. A small 2019 study showed that night driving glasses can actually slow down visual reflection by a fraction of a second, making night vision worse.
Thin frame glasses
Curved-rimmed glasses are very popular and common nowadays. It feels serious and intellectual. It is suitable for all face shapes. There are many colors to choose from. Fairies who especially like square frames can choose thin square glasses with gold wire. The border is not too obvious but it has edges.
Disadvantages of Progressive Lens
There are deformation areas under the left and right sides of the lens, which make the image blurry and irregular. It takes 1-3 weeks to get used to it. In addition, it has a narrower field of view in the near and middle distances, and long-term concentration on the narrow focal point can easily make the eyes tired. Suitable for people who need to alternate between distant, medium, and near vision.
However, with the development of science and technology, more and more progressive multifocal glasses have emerged that have a wider field of view, more comfortable wearing, and better meet the needs of eyes. Nowadays, the use rate of progressive lenses among middle-aged and elderly people abroad is quite high. Single-lens and double-lens reading glasses are gradually being replaced by progressive multifocal glasses.
Why should children wear blue-light-blocking glasses?
Due to the short wavelength of blue light, the focus will fall in the front of the retina. In order to see clearly, the eyeball will be in a state of tension for a long time, causing visual fatigue. Studies have found that exposure to blue light at certain doses can damage epithelial cells on the surface of the eye, causing or aggravating dry eye. Harmful blue light has extremely high energy and can penetrate the lens directly to the retina, leading to the atrophy and death of retinal pigment epithelial cells. The death of light-sensitive cells will lead to vision loss.
Benefits of Progressive Lenses
Progressive lenses are different from traditional reading glasses and bifocal glasses in that bifocal reading glasses have to constantly change the focal length, causing fatigue. And there is no clear dividing line between the two focal lengths. They are more comfortable, more beautiful. When you see far or see near, a pair of glasses can be done, so they become the best choice for old people little by little.
Progressive lenses allow multiple fields of view to be merged into a single lens with no discernible difference between the fields themselves. Degrees of the lens vary gradually from far to medium to your full reading. This is why progressive lenses are often regarded as no-line bifocals or trifocal points.
Shorter lens beam
When you choose a glasses frame for kids, you must pay attention to that the lens beam must be short. The size of the lens beam stipulated by the national standard is 13~22mm. As a child, it should be controlled under 18mm. Otherwise, the position stability of the glasses will be poor.
Finally, they can not casually wear other people's glasses. The strength of each person's glasses, the distance between the optical centers of the two lenses, the length of the temple are different. So they can not casually wear other people's glasses.
Different Types of Progressive Lenses
The first progressive lenses we want to introduce are computer progressive lenses, which are designed for clear vision in office settings. These lenses are ideal when using a computer for over 4 hours a day and help to reduce eye strain.
Computer progressive lenses are intended for indoor use and should not be worn over your regular glasses. The drawback to this is it requires you to have two separate pairs of eyeglasses.
