Difference Between Driving Glasses And Night Vision Goggles
The special effect of polarized glasses is to eliminate and filter the scattered light in the beam of light effectively so that the light can be put into the visual image of glasses with the right track, and the field of vision is clear and natural. The effect of night vision goggles is that they allow the wearer to observe the surroundings at night without being affected by light. For example, aviation accidents can be greatly reduced through the use of navigation winches equipped with forward-looking infrared cameras on aircraft and by requiring pilots to wear goggles fitted with night vision goggles.
Choose the right lenses for blue light glasses.
Since visible light is made up of yellow, green, and blue light, the blue lens blocks the blue light, leaving only yellow and green light. Yellow plus green is yellow, so what we see is a yellow lens. If it is viewed from the side, we will find that the lens is also transparent, with no background color, and most of it is yellow-green. The dark yellow blue lens appears chromatic aberration, and it can be more serious. So to block blue light and do not hurt an eye again, you had better choose light yellow lenses to prevent blue light.
Choose frames according to the face shape
For example, children with round faces should not choose too round frames, while children with long faces should not choose too long frames (the two rules apply to wearers of all ages). Choose the shape of the frame to beautify the face shape. It can be the primary judgment criteria.
Why Do Replace New Lenses for Old Frames?
First, if your glasses frame is in good condition, glasses lens replacement is a good choice since it can help you to save money.
Second, if your eyeglasses have been part of your signature look for years, replacing the lenses with your new prescription is smart. Your family, friends, and customers won’t have to get used to a new you.
What are progressive lenses?
Progressive lenses, also called progressive multifocal lenses, are lenses that have multiple focal points. If it is divided from the focal point, the lenses can be divided into single focal lenses, bifocal lenses, and multifocal lenses. The original intention of progressive multifocal lenses is to provide natural, convenient, and comfortable correction methods for presbyopia patients. A pair of glasses can see far away, close up, and mid-range objects. After wearing them, one pair of glasses is equivalent to using multiple glasses. Because of the different nature, characteristics and applicability, progressive lenses are more expensive than single vision lenses.
Glasses Size - Lens Width
Lens width is the width of a lens, measured in millimeters, from one side of a lens to the other side of that lens. This is the most important measurement to make sure the frame fits your eyes.
