The Cons of Transition Lenses
However, besides the pros of transition lenses, there are also some negative voices of transition lenses.
The transition lenses are not effective in cars because the windshield blocks the UV rays so that transition lenses won’t darken very well in the car.
Different brands of photochromic glasses have different levels of darkness and different reaction times. So, you may need to ask the doctor to find the brand that works best for you. Transition glasses are affected by colder weather. So it means that it may take a bit longer to react to UV rays in winter. Most transition lenses are not polarized which may result in harsh glares.
So, if you need transition glasses, try Koalaeye Optical, which provides the Koalaeye photochromic glasses. Besides these, Koalaeye Optical also provides other kinds of glasses, such as blue light blocking glasses, polarized sunglasses, progressive sunglasses, and so on.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of bifocal reading glasses?
The advantage of bifocal reading glasses is a large field of vision, and they can be used with the same pair of glasses to see far, near. The cost is lower. But different areas have obvious intervals, and the appearance is not beautiful. The middle distance is fuzzy. They need to adapt to the period. Bifocal reading glasses lens is divided into two parts, and the degree of the two parts is not the same. The upper part is the mother of the flat area to see far, and the next part is the child of the reading area to see near. There is an obvious interval. The appearance is not beautiful. There is no transition area between two different areas, so its vision is fuzzy, easy to produce a 'jump image'. Long-term wearing will make people dizzy or fall down when climbing stairs.
What are bendable glasses called?
Bendable frames, or memory metal frames, are metal frames that can be twisted, bent, and shattered without breaking or losing their original shape. It's made of a kind of smart metal that has a memory. Its microstructure has two relatively stable states. At high temperatures, the alloy can be changed into any shape you want. Memory metals are mainly nickel-titanium alloy and other materials. The structure of these alloys varies with temperature in the solid-state, the shapes of these alloys can be changed as needed, and will automatically return to their original shape at a given temperature. One unique aspect is its ability to return to its original shape, although the frame has been twisted, bent, or crushed. They are lighter and more durable than traditional metal frames. The bendable frames are made of composite metal alloys for bending properties. These lenses can be twisted and bent, and when they are released, they return to their original shape.
Features of pure titanium glasses frame
Due to the lightweight (ordinary nickel-based alloy frame weight 48%-60%), high strength, corrosion resistance, surface easy coloring, beautiful and durable features of spectacle frame made of pure titanium, they have been loved by most consumers. But the elastic modulus of pure titanium is higher (about 120GPa). The temples of the frames made from them are not elastic enough. After wearing the glasses for a period of time, the temples of the glasses need to be adjusted due to the relaxation of the stress. The processing plasticity of titanium metal is worse than that of other metal materials, so the processing technology of its wire is difficult. The surface quality is difficult to control, and the technical content is high. The surface quality of pure titanium wire produced by a few domestic manufacturers is poor.
How to adapt to progressive lenses?
People who are prone to motion sickness or have inner ear diseases may suffer dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms due to their inability to tolerate the slight deformation of the visual objects, so they need to pay more attention when wearing them. For people who have not worn reading glasses before, it is not recommended to wear graded multi-focus glasses directly because their eyes will not be able to adapt quickly.
Polygonal frame
Polygonal glasses frame is derived from square glasses frame. Some of the frames belong to mechanical cutting, and the lens has an exquisite diamond design, very popular with consumers. The irregular frame makes the glasses more angular and makes the frames less monotonous. It's more stylish and trendy. Gold is more popular, but the price is not high.
Can you buy prescription glasses for night driving?
Your eye doctor may prescribe special night driving glasses with an anti-reflective coating. AR coating helps reduce glare, improves vision, and helps you see better on the road at night. The lenses developed using wavefront diagnostics reduce halos, stellar bursts, glare, and other visual disturbances.
