Characteristics of Carbon Fiber Glasses
Carbon fiber frames have pretty impact resistance. Carbon fiber is made of carbon, the core element of diamonds. It is ten times stronger than iron, and it weighs less than steel. The maximum stress it can withstand before breaking is 7 to 9 times that of steel. Carbon fiber is more resistant to corrosion than metals like titanium. It has high-temperature resistance, radiation resistance, good elasticity. Carbon fiber is not only flexible, but durable, so it won't break if you drop it. Carbon fiber has many benefits, including high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high-temperature resistance, and low thermal expansion.
The origin of aspheric lens
The Visby glasses, unearthed in Gotland, Sweden, are the earliest aspheric lens found. The Vikings in the 11th century used it as a magnifying glass, and some of the best ones were made of silver, making them look like handicrafts. In 1667, Francis Smethwick grinds the first high-quality aspheric lenses and presents them to the Royal Society. That's a telescope with three aspheric elements. In 1956, Elgeet, which originally designed and manufactured optical instruments for the U.S. Navy, produced the world's first mass-produced aspheric lens for photography (Golden Navitar 12mm F1.2) for a 16mm film machine. Today, aspheric lenses are found in everything from tall telescopes to missile guidance systems to camera lenses. In the glasses we wear, the aspheric lens is familiar to consumers.
What Are Varifocal Glasses?
Varifocal glasses, also known as varifocals, varifocal lenses, PALs, or progressive lenses, have a gradual change in strength from the top of the lens to the bottom with multiple focal points in between. This allows you to see all distances and focus points through just one lens. Varifocal lenses are typically used when you have two prescriptions, one for distance and one for reading.
There are three regions of a varifocal lens which are distant zone, intermediate zone and, near/reading zone. Usually, the upper portion of the varifocal lens is the distant zone and the bottom portion of the varifocal lens is the near or reading zone.
One of the benefits of varifocal glasses is that you do not need to prepare 2 separate pairs of glasses or need to switch between frames for different vision needs.
The glasses slid up your nose.
Although glasses often slide up your nose and pushing them up can be annoying, it's easy to pull them tight. If your nose frame is metal, use your thumb to shrink the nose pad until the frame no longer slides. If you have plastic frames, soak the arm in warm water for 30-60 seconds, then apply slight downward pressure to the end of the arm. This will make it fit more behind the ears, which will tighten the overall fit and prevent slippage. If tightening the frame doesn't work, try using eyeglass wax to stop it from slipping.
The birth of progressive lenses
In 1907, British optometrist Owen Aves first proposed the concept of progressive lenses and got the first patent of progressive lenses. In 1910, Henry Orford Gowlland designed and made a similar lens in Canada, but technical limitations prevented it from succeeding. In 1959, Bernard Maitenaz, a French optical and mechanical engineer, developed the first progressive lens, which was successfully put into the commercial market for the first time and became a milestone in the history of world optometry. With the development of science and technology, the design of progressive lenses has been greatly developed.
Advantages of carbon fiber glasses frames
The main reason for choosing carbon fiber to replace traditional plastic and metal materials is that carbon fiber has the characteristics of lightweight and high tensile strength. Spectacle frames made of carbon fiber materials are significantly lighter than traditional metal spectacle frames. In addition, such spectacle frames are impact resistant, has high hardness, wear resistance, are not easy to deform, and will not fade. Also, the carbon fiber material has good biocompatibility and is often used in medical equipment, so it will not cause allergic reactions, and it is not easy to corrode and rust. The lightweight carbon fiber frame is easy to carry, and it is not easy to deform the bridge of the nose when worn on the bridge of the nose, relieves the burden on the nose and ears, is not easy to slip, and is comfortable to wear.
Promises and Warranties of Optical Stores
They have a quality guarantee. Under normal use, the glasses will be replaced with the same value free of charge within six months if there is any quality problem attributable to the product itself. If there is any incompatibility within one month, the lenses will be re-checked and replaced with the same quality lenses free of charge. If you are not satisfied with the style of the frame, you can replace the frame of the same value free of charge within one week.
