The lenses of Walmart Glasses
When Walmart first entered the eyewear business in 1991, Walmart was known for its affordable lenses, which were similar to other big stores and eyewear chains. Then, in 2000, Walmart began offering high-end Carl Zeiss lenses. Customers have noticed the change and they continue to strive to become a leader in eyewear quality. Walmart has led the way in applying anti-reflection and anti-scratch coatings to its lenses. From the beginning, Walmart took steps to provide the best products on the market, with quality levels that exceeded industry standards. The upgrades now underway will continue to deliver on that promise.
How to Tell If Your Progressive Lenses Are Correct?
Progressive lenses are popular among people who are over 40 and they can be used to correct presbyopia. If you have a pair of progressive lenses, how can you tell if the progressive lenses are correct or not? If you do not know, you come to the right place. This post will show you how to tell if your progressive lenses are correct.
How do I know If I have progressive lenses? There are two parts of the lens you can check. The first is how the lens sits in front of your eyes. If you are not able to see in the distance, either centration is way off the lenses are too high or the lens power is not correct. However, when checking the lens sitting in front of your eyes, you should be able to maintain a natural posture in your neck and see sharp when reading or while focusing on the distance. If you raise your chin high while reading or hold it low to see in the distance, it is not correct.
What Are Computer Glasses?
Computer glasses or glasses for computer are prescription glasses that are designed to wear when doing computer work. They allow you to focus your eyes on a computer screen. There are other activities such as playing piano or shooting requiring a similar custom fitting.
Glasses for computer use are also known as blue light glasses. They block blue light that causes eye strain due to prolonged viewing of digital screens. Blue light is part of the color spectrum, and everyone is exposed to it through sunlight.
The glasses for computer use have a shorter wavelength than other colors and are emitted by electronic devices such as smartphones, TVs, computers and more. The glare from blue light is what causes digital eye strain or other symptoms. But the glasses for computer can protect your eyes from the damage of the glare.
Depending on an individual’s vision and type of work, there are several options while selecting glasses for computer use.
Monofocal: Monofocal or single-vision glasses are designed for computer work so that they provide the appropriate optical correction for the working distance between the screen and the user’s eye. These glasses allow users to view the whole screen with a minimum up-and-down head movement. However, the disadvantage of the monofocal glasses is that both distant objects and reading materials that are closer than the computer screen will appear blurry.
Bifocal: When it comes to glasses for computer screens, the bifocal glasses would be a choice. Bifocal glasses can be prescribed so that the upper segment is set up for screen distance and the lower segment for work. The disadvantage of these bifocal glasses is that it will blurry if the objects are farther away than the screen.
Trifocal: These trifocal glasses for computers have lenses that combine a segment for far vision, another for near vision and the third one for at the screen distance. The disadvantage of these glasses for computer screen is the limitation to view areas.
Can you wear blue light glasses while driving?
The damage of blue light has a cumulative effect. The longer the exposure time is, the more serious the damage of retinal cells will be, which will eventually lead to irreversible damage of the structure and function of the retina. Once the retina has permanent damage, degeneration will directly affect the metabolism and function of photoreceptor cells, resulting in vision loss. It depends on the glasses you're wearing. The function of anti-blue light glasses depends on the material of the glasses. Some blue light glasses have a special anti-reflective coating, which can reduce glare. These glasses are definitely helpful when driving at night.
Is it necessary to repair the glasses that are badly damaged?
If your glasses are badly damaged, think about getting a new pair. Maintenance is maintenance, not a replacement, so there are some traces of maintenance. The repair cost is far more than or can buy a new pair of glasses, so there is no need to repair them. For the kind of alloy that's used for cheap glasses and the kind of alloy that's used for high-end glasses, the texture of the welding is so different. There are differences in intensity. In order to make the cheap glasses strong after welding, it will definitely increase the welding marks (solder repair, etc.), so the marks will be obvious.
What Are Varifocal Glasses?
Varifocal glasses, also known as varifocals, varifocal lens, PLA, or progressive lenses, have a gradual change in strength from the top of the lens to the bottom with multiple focal points in between. Unlike bifocals, varifocal glasses have no specific area of lens strength, but progressive lens zones.
The way to look through varifocal glasses depends on what you want to look at. If you are looking at the distance, you look through the top of the lens. If you want to look at the close objects, you may need to move your eyes lower to keep the objects in focus. For the best close-up focus, you need to look through the bottom of the lens.
The benefits of varifocal glasses are that they do not need to buy or prepare 2 separate pairs of glasses or need to switch between frames for different vision needs.
However, if you wear the varifocal glasses for the first time, you may come across some problems.
What Is Plastic Lens?
In the above part, we have introduced what polycarbonate lenses are. In this section, we will show you what the plastic lens is.
The plastic lens was first introduced in 1947. Since then, plastic has become a popular and widely used material for making eyeglasses lenses. Since the introduction and use of plastic lenses, it has sealed its mark as the most preferred choice in the optical industry.
Plastic lenses are light. With this feature, plastic lenses are popular because they will not be heavy inside the glasses frame and permit for an easy fit in any type of glasses frame. In addition, plastic glasses are cheap and easy to obtain in desired amounts. So, they are affordable for most people. Plastic lenses are very durable. So, they do not shatter easily on impact which makes it a great choice for individuals who are active or tend to drop their glasses often.
However, compared with other lens materials, plastic lenses are usually thick due to their low index of refraction. The soft feature of plastic glasses makes them susceptible to scratching from a sharp object and why scratch-resistant coating is applied to form an additional protective layer. Plastic lenses do not provide ultraviolet protection.
