The Pros of Progressive Lenses

In this section, we will show you the benefits of progressive lenses.

One of the major advantages of progressive lenses is that the design of progressive lenses blends the prescription. There is no image jump or visible line on the lens. This enhances your comfort with your lenses and can be safer when performing tasks such as driving.

With progressive lenses, you don’t have to switch other glasses frequently. Progressive lenses correct distance, intermediate, and reading vision within one lens. So, it can bring you great convenience.

Benefits of glasses without nose pads

Glasses without nose pads are mostly used for sheet materials because the sheet material is lighter and not allergic. From the viewpoint of aesthetics and comfort, no nose pads are more suitable. Glasses without nose pads have a relatively small contact area with the bridge of the nose, so it is not easy to have obvious indentations on the bridge of the nose, while glasses with nose pads will have obvious indentations after wearing them for a long time.

In addition to supporting the frame, the nose pad has another function to prevent allergies and avoid discomfort caused by allergies to metals or other materials. Whether it is better to have glasses with nose pads or without nose pads, depends on your personal situation. If your nose is sensitive to weight or the bridge of your nose is lower, you should choose glasses with nose pads. If you are particularly looking for beauty and don't want any marks on your face, then choose glasses without nose pads.

In fact, it is hard to say which one is better between nose pads and no nose pads. The key is to look at personal preference and wearing comfort. Generally speaking, a high nose bridge is suitable for choosing frames without nose pads. It is more suitable to choose the frames with nose pads for people with flat nose bridges in order to prevent the glasses from sliding off and affecting the visual effect.

Are blue light glasses good for driving at night?

Are blue light glasses helpful when driving at night? The answer is not necessarily. Anti-reflective coating on glasses is beneficial. But blue light blocking won't have any effect on your driving at night. If your glasses have an anti-reflective coating, then they might be helpful for night driving. Otherwise, they won't have any impact.

How Do Progressive Lenses Work?

So, how do progressive glasses work? Progressive lenses allow you to see at all distances with one pair of glasses. They start with your distance prescriptions at the top of the lens and increase as you move toward the bottom of the lens. You can move your head position to allow you to focus through different areas of the lens.

Move your head upwards to see something in the distance, and hold it straight for intermediate or arm’s length vision and down for near vision for objects that are close up. Apart from the aesthetic improvement of the lens without the line segments, progressive lenses avoid the visual discontinuity or image-jump when your eyes shift from one zone to the other in non-progressive multifocals.

Why do blue light glasses turn yellow?

The glasses are used for a long time. Blue lenses are usually light yellow. If the yellow is too deep, the resin lenses will oxidize and become yellow due to the long-wearing time. The lenses need to be replaced in time. Yellowing of the lens is related to the excessive secretion of facial grease, which leads to yellowing of the lens. The most direct way is to replace the lens glass.

Polarized vs non-polarized sunglasses

1. Non-polarized sunglasses generally only have the two basic functions of shielding strong light and filtering ultraviolet rays, and their efficiency in filtering ultraviolet rays is low. In our daily life, in addition to strong light and ultraviolet light, when light passes through uneven roads, water surfaces, and other places, irregular diffuse reflection light will be generated, which will cause blurred vision and fatigue in the eyes.

2. Polarized sunglasses can filter out this kind of light, only absorb the reflected light of the object itself, truly present what you see, make the field of vision clearer, and reduce visual fatigue. In addition, polarized sunglasses have a 99% blocking rate of ultraviolet rays due to their high-efficiency filter layer, which can effectively reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the eyes.

3. When judging whether the sunglasses are polarized lenses, you can rotate the sunglasses up to 45° clockwise. If the color of the lens changes at this time, and the color of the sunglasses returns to normal after turning the sunglasses back to the original position, then it can be judged that the sunglasses are polarized. And if you can’t see the change in the color of the sunglasses lens no matter how you turn it, then you can judge that the sunglasses are not polarized.
