Different types of nose pads for glasses
The fixed nose pad is usually used on the plate frame. The nose pad and the frame form an organic whole. The maintenance is more convenient, unlike the movable type that should often twist a screw. It is not easy to hide dirt and dirt. But the disadvantage is that the angle of the nose pad can not be adjusted, and it can not fit the bridge of the nose greatly. The movable nose pad can be automatically adjusted up and down according to the shape of the bridge of the nose to ensure that the compression part of the bridge of the nose is evenly stressed and the local pressure is reduced. But the disadvantage is to often check the tightness of the screw, but often scrub clean. The silicone material usually used in the nose pad is easy to yellow after a long time, which affects the appearance.
What is night blindness?
Diminished night vision can also be called night blindness. When you suffer from night blindness, it does not mean that you can't see anything at all at night. This means that you have difficulty driving or seeing things in dark or dim lighting conditions. Night blindness also makes it difficult for the eyes to change from bright light to dim light. This is why night driving in oncoming vehicles can be challenging for some people with night blindness.
Many people have experienced a condition called night blindness, which can make driving at night difficult. Driving glasses at night should help alleviate this situation. However, research shows that night driving glasses are generally ineffective.
If you encounter problems while driving at night, please make sure that all reflective surfaces in your car are clean and free of dirt. You should also see an ophthalmologist determine the cause of the problem. Many causes of night blindness can be easily corrected, making you and others safer during the journey.
What Glasses Are Made Of?
In general, most glasses are made of plastic lenses. Why are glasses lenses made of plastic? In fact, plastic glasses are lighter than traditional glasses lenses used in eyeglasses, which means they are more comfortable to wear. At the same time, it is easy to apply lens coatings like anti-reflective to plastic lenses.
Besides, children’s glasses are also made of plastic because it is more resistant to impact. There are four main types of plastics used to make eyeglasses and sunglasses lenses which are plastic, Trivex, polycarbonate and high-index plastics.
The plastic lenses made from CR-39 were first introduced. CR-39 is an abbreviation for Columbia Resin #39, the 39th plastic of that type made by Columbia Resin.
Then the polycarbonate glasses were invented. Polycarbonate became out of this world once it found use in aeronautics. Polycarbonate is a type of plastic that can be produced as transparent and easily shaped, making it great for glasses lenses. Polycarbonate is impact resistant so that they are a good lens choice for kids. And the polycarbonate lenses have 100% UV protection.
Next, high-index lenses are available. High-index lenses have a high refractive index with a thin lens. Although high-index lenses are thinner, they are heavier due to the higher density of these plastics.
So, what glasses are made of? Most glasses are made of plastics. Then how are glasses made? To get the answer, keep on your reading.

Disadvantages of Plastic Frames
The disadvantage of injection molding material is that most of them have surface spray paint processing. They are not wear-resistant, easy to fade, easy to peel off the paint layer. PC material comfort is poor, and durability is not good. The frames cannot be changed to suit different face shapes. Because of its good elasticity, TR material can not be changed, which means that poorly made lenses are easy to fit into the frame. Plate material is hard, if the change is not appropriate, it will be not comfortable. Acidic material can not match the lens made of PC material, which will cause the lens to crack.
What are driving glasses?
Driving glasses refers to the glasses that are specially used for driving, with functions of anti-glare, anti-strong light, anti-rain and fog, anti-fatigue, and other functions. They are suitable for drivers in the day and night to wear glasses for vision protection, better-ensuring traffic safety. They are recognized as the driver's glasses, driver glasses.
What Are Varifocal Glasses?
Varifocal glasses, also known as varifocals, varifocal lenses, or progressive lenses, have a gradual change in strength from the top of the lens to the bottom with multiple focal points in between. Unlike bifocals, varifocals glasses have no specific area of lens strength, but progressive lens zones.
As mentioned above, varifocal glasses have three different prescriptions in one pair of glasses, allowing you to correct near and far vision. So, they bring you great convenience since you don’t need to change the glasses frequently.
However, there are also some common problems with varifocal glasses and we will show you the disadvantages of varifocal glasses.
So, in the following section, we will show you the disadvantages of varifocal glasses.
