Production technology of progressive lenses
In addition to the evolution in design, the production technology of progressive lenses is also constantly improving: the most representative one is the free-form technology. The emergence of free-form surface technology makes the production more flexible and rapid and can realize a more personalized design. For now, progressive lens design is done on the inside surface of the lens by a computer-controlled lathe, as if a master engraver could carve a piece of stone into a work of art.
Qualified Optical Shop
Qualified opticians are determined not to sell substandard glasses. It is not recommended to keep the lens frames unless the same type can be found. If not, customers will be told directly that the data is likely to change. Optical shops using imported edge grinding machines can better ensure the accuracy of the data of the glasses. The processing engineer must pass a strict examination before he will process glasses for customers. And each pair of glasses needs another person to check, and then pass to the customer to wear. When customers take glasses, they should be informed of the correct steps for cleaning glasses.
What are polarized lenses for?
Polarized lenses contain a layer of polarizing plates in which molecular chains form a light-grating structure in which dichromatic pigments, which absorb polarized light, are evenly distributed. A beam of light is absorbed when it vibrates in the same direction as the bars of the molecular chain of the polarized lens. The grating direction formed by the molecular chain of the polarizer is the axial direction of the polarizer, which is generally horizontal. When polarized lenses are worn, they absorb all the light that vibrates horizontally, thus absorbing the glare and preventing it from reaching the eyes.
How To Use Contact Lens Correctly?
It is not recommended to use contact lenses when they are dry. Because when they are dry, even the nursing vacuole is used, the parameters change. It will affect the comfort of wearing, so it is recommended to replace the new lens. After the nursing liquid is used every time, you should cover the lid tightly. Do not touch the mouth of the bottle with your hand. If expired and unused, it should be discarded and replaced with new nursing fluid. As for your discomfort, you should return to the store for inspection.Contact lenses and glasses should be used interchangeably.
How Long Does It Take to Get Used to New Glasses?
Most people are excited when they get a new pair of glasses for the first time. But sometimes there is an adjustment period before your vision is fully comfortable. So, how long does it take to get used to new glasses?
In most cases, it takes only a few days to adjust to a new pair of glasses. When you are adjusting to your new glasses, you might experience some symptoms such as mild dizziness, blurry vision, or eye strain. This would be a normal situation. These symptoms are common with new glasses and typically last only a few days.
Even though the new glasses come with the same prescription, different frames or lenses can alter your vision until you get used to the new frame style, frame material or lens type.
Besides, other factors will affect the adjustment time, such as the complexity of your prescription, the type of lens, and so on.
How long does it take to adjust to new glasses? It usually takes a few days. However, if you experience eye strain, distorted vision, and especially headaches for a few weeks, you had better contact the eye doctor or the optician. They will check your eyeglass and the prescription.
What is hard coating on lenses?
Lenses are mainly added in two kinds of film: anti-reflection film and hard film (and some manufacturers produce anti-fogging film and mirror film, but not common). The anti-reflective film is mainly by coating the front surface of the lens with multiple layers of transparent materials with different refractive index and thickness to reduce the excess reflected light on the surface of the lens, by using the principle of light interference. The film can be applied to both glass and resin lenses. The way of hard film plating is usually a soaking process. After many times of soaking and cleaning, soaking in an organic solution containing ultrafine silicon element for a certain time, and then keeping it at a certain temperature for 4-5 hours, the fixed polymerization process of the film has been completed. The surface wear resistance of CR-39 coating can be increased by 2-4 pH, which is similar to the hardness of optical glass lenses.
The Advantages of Polycarbonate Glasses
In fact, polycarbonate glasses come with several benefits and this section will show some of them.
First, polycarbonate glasses are safe and are virtually unbreakable. A study found that polycarbonate glasses were more impact-resistance than glasses or other types of plastic lenses.
Second, polycarbonate glasses are thinner than other types of lenses. This feature makes them ideal for people who have strong prescriptions. Lighter and thinner eyeglasses are less likely to slip off your nose and are more comfortable for everyday wear.
Third, extended exposure to UV radiation from the sun can cause damage to your eyes and lead to some eye conditions such as cataracts or macular degeneration. Of course, polycarbonate glasses can block out harmful UV rays from the sun and provide good protection for your eyes.
However, there are some negative voices of polycarbonate lenses.
