The Benefits of Anti-Glare Glasses
As is well known, glare is the excessive brightness caused by direct light or reflected light. It often occurs when sunlight bounces off a reflective surface like water or snow. Of course, anti-glare glasses can also be caused by other factors.
Standard plastic lenses are able to reflect approximately 8% of the light that reaches your glasses and high-index lenses often reflect up to 12% of available light. Hence, anti-glare glasses come in a lot of advantages.
The anti-reflective glasses can reduce eye strain and make your eyeglasses look more attractive because the anti-reflective coating can eliminate reflections from the front and back surfaces of your eyeglass lenses. With this feature, more light can pass through your lenses to improve your vision with fewer distractions and the lenses look nearly invisible.
In addition, anti-glare glasses are helpful to high-index lenses, which reflect more light than regular plastic lenses. In general, the higher the index of refraction of the lens material, the more light will be reflected from the surface of the lenses.
Anti-glare glasses can protect your eyes from UV rays (sunlight that doesn’t appear on our visual spectrum). This feature can be enhanced by some photochromatic or polarized lenses.
The Identification of the Quality
The frame that has good elasticity is usually of better quality. The frame that has a smooth and shiny coating is better in quality. If the solder joint is smooth, small, and uniform, the quality is better. The parts of the sunglasses are assembled closely. The size and shape of the left and right lens must be the same, and the bridge of the nose must be symmetrical.
Are progressive lenses expensive?
The PAL tends to be more expensive than other lenses because you are definitely combining three lenses into one. Digital PAL is more expensive, but they are more personalized and specific to your size. This is key to providing the best visual experience. The cost of progressive lenses depends on several factors, including your prescription, the brand of glasses you choose, and other factors. However, you must remember that one progressive lens can replace multiple pairs of glasses, which can save you money in the long run. The price of progressive multi-focus glasses is different with different styles and different brands, from more than a hundred to thousands of yuan. We must choose according to our own economic situation.
Who should wear low bridge glasses?
According to the website of the American Optical Association, low-bridge glasses are for people with a low bridge of the nose (when your nose is at or below the pupil level), a wide face, or high cheekbones. This pair of glasses fit anyone with a low nose. If you have a tall bridge, it's great to have a bridge near the eyebrow line. If you have a low bridge of the nose, a more curved brow or a lower bridge of the nose frame is a better choice. Because the dimensions of the bridge are measured from the inside of the frame, a thick-sided frame with the same bridge dimensions and a very thin frame will not fit. It may actually be too small. Because it allows for extra edges.
Phone can identify polarized sunglasses.
Take a mobile phone with an LCD screen, turn it to maximum brightness, and look at the LCD screen through the lenses. Make sure the lenses are parallel to the display, and then slowly rotate the phone. When the true polarized lens is rotated at a certain angle, the light from the display becomes obviously darker, or even pitch-black. If they're not dark, they're not polarized sunglasses.
The Disadvantages of Aspheric Lenses
Here, we will show some disadvantages of aspheric lenses.
The aspheric lens has a relatively small light area. When the eyeball rotates around, it will blur a little when looking at the outside through lens edge. In other words, the visual range of the line of sight becomes smaller.
Human’s eyeball is spherical and the eyeball rotates to the edge. Through aspheric lenses, the objects near the eye appear protruding.
What Is Photophobia?
There are a lot of reasons causing our eyes discomforts, such as moving between indoors and outdoors on bright sunny days, staring at computer screens all day, driving at night, or watching TV. If the discomfort worsens over time with accompanying symptoms such as intense pain, excessive squinting, excessive tearing or burning sensations, it may become an eye condition called photophobia or light sensitivity.
One of the symptoms of photophobia is intolerance of light. To some degree, most of us are sensitive to bright or fluorescent lights, but those suffering from photophobia may experience a range of symptoms - from minor or mild irritation to serious debilitating reactions. The symptoms can include dizziness, headaches, migraines, server eye pain, excessive blinking, blurriness, and eye inflammation.
So, they are a few ways to combat photophobia.
