How to Choose Reading Glasses?
Find the right power. When choosing reading glasses, finding the right power would be the most important thing. All reading glasses will have signs or stickers indicating their power. In most cases, they will range from +1 to +4 diopter, in increments of +0.25. So, when choosing reading glasses, try the lowest power first.
Test-drive the glasses. If you have brought reading material with you, try reading it at a comfortable length. If you hold the material too far out to be able to read it, you should increase the power. Keep testing the differences powers until can read clearly at the distance that’s more comfortable for you.
Why are blue light glasses yellow?
The material of the lens makes it turn yellow. If it's just blue and the lens is yellow, that's the material itself. Blue light glasses can weaken blue light entering human eyes. Blue light is mainly produced by mobile phones and computers in life. The blue light on the electronic screen is unchanged, so a film can only be designed on the lens to absorb blue light. This can effectively reduce blue light. The complementary color of blue light is yellow, so the yellowing of the anti-blue lens is normal. The material of an anti-blue light lens can effectively shield the blue light. If the blue light is removed from the white light we usually see, it will show yellow, which is a normal phenomenon.
Progressive Lens
Standard progressive lenses are multifocal lenses with three observation areas, farsightedness, intermediate vision, and nearsightedness. Unlike bifocals, there are no visible lines between each viewing area. They have a seamless, invisible design, where the optical power changes 'gradually' throughout the lens. Many people confuse 'bifocal' or 'trifocal' with 'progressive' but remember that bifocals and trifocals have visible lines in the lens, while progressive lenses do not. Because progressive lenses have no lines in the lens, they are more popular multifocal lenses than bifocal lenses.
The main observation area of the progressive lens is a far distance, the smaller area at the bottom of the lens is used for myopia, and the middle area in the middle is smaller. Standard progressive glasses are very suitable for general purpose glasses, focusing on hyperopia activities (such as driving and walking) and sufficient area in the lenses for nearsighted activities (such as reading and computer use). The left and right sides or 'convex corners' of the lens are deliberately blurred to achieve an invisible design. The clearest line of sight in the gradual process is from the center to the top of the lens.
Pay attention to the color of your blue-blocking glasses.
For children, their lenses are relatively clean and clear, and the blue light transmittance is higher than that of adults, which is more harmful to the eye. On the complementary color principle of optics, a good pair of blue light glasses should not be deep orange, but light yellow. The complementary color to cyan is orange. So, in order for the glasses to absorb blue light and filter it out, they must appear blue's complementary color yellow, otherwise, they violate the optical principle of absorbing blue light.
Disadvantages of polarized sunglasses
Polarized sunglasses have many benefits. However, in some cases, non-polarized lenses are a safer choice. On cloudy days, drivers find that non-polarized sunglasses are better than polarized sunglasses due to the lack of glare and extreme sunlight.
Driving with polarized lenses after snowing can be dangerous for drivers. As the glare of polarized sunglasses is blocked, ice or snow on the road will not be visible. In this case, the advantages of polarized sunglasses will become the disadvantages that may cause accidents.
In addition, when driving along a dark road with few street lights at night, wearing polarized lenses will make it harder to see the road conditions because they dim the available light better than non-polarized glasses. Of course, in low-light conditions, it is best to avoid wearing sunglasses completely while driving.
The most significant disadvantage of polarized sunglasses is that they do not perform well on digital screens and displays. They can cause the images and information on the LCD screen to blur or disappear at certain angles. Don’t wear polarized sunglasses to use these devices while driving.
Colored translucent frame
Colored translucent lenses have been popular since 2016. Some stars like a warm tan lens. Besides translucent lenses, what's popular this year is that the frames are made in a colorful translucent style. Wearing them can automatically cool down. Stella Mccartney 2020 spring/summer sunglasses are designed with colorful translucent material and a thick frame. In addition, a metal chain is added, which is all the popular elements this year.
What Do the Numbers on Glasses Mean?
In this section, we will show you the glasses numbers meaning. These numbers on glasses frames are the measurements that indicate and describe the size of your eyeglasses frames, specifically:
- The eye size number (it is the size of the lenses on your frame).
- The bridge size number (the distance between the lenses).
- The temple length number (it is the size of that part of your eyeglasses frame, which rests upon your ears).
The three numbers mentioned above are the key measurements that describe the glasses measurements of the frames in eyeglasses. For example, you will see three numbers like 51-17-145 at the temple of your glasses. These numbers help the optician to choose the best-fitted frame for your head size and facial features.
All of these three numbers are measured in millimeters. These variations in frame numbers are fitted by a skilled optician so that it should be best fitted, be comfortable and look good on the appearance.
