What Are the Advantages of High-Index Lenses?
In this section, we will show you the advantages of high-index lenses.
- Thanks to the slim shape and narrow edges, high index lenses offer wearers the flexibility to choose from a wide array of fashion-forward frames. Their size means that they can be easily paired with sleek metal frames or incorporated into rimless eyewear for an attractive barely-there look.
- High index lenses are more comfortable for extended use because they are lighter than the traditional counterparts.
- High index lenses are available with many of the same options as traditional lenses. For example, they can be either single-vision or progressive.
- For users with strong prescriptions, high index lenses mean no bulky, bottle-glasses appearance. This can reduce the unwanted bug-eye look traditionally associated with very thick lenses.
However, there are some negative voices of high index lenses.
Early glasses
The first inventor of wearable glasses is not known. However, it was the Romans who first discovered the use of glass to enhance their ability to see small words, creating small magnifying glasses with spheres. The first known wearable glasses in history appeared in Italy in the 13th century. They were used mainly by monks, and became popular little by little during the Renaissance, as the technology improved. As their popularity grew, the Italian glasses spread throughout Europe, mostly within reach of the wealthy. Because learning was a prized attribute during the Renaissance, glasses were a status symbol of wisdom and prosperity. With the temple extending above the ear, the glasses are no longer required by hand.
Although glasses are the tool that corrects myopia, a lot of people like to dress up fashion with it now. Men's fashion frames allow you to express your taste and fashion sense and can increase your appearance and image. An eyeglass frame is an important part of a pair of glasses, mainly playing the role of supporting the lens. While the beautiful appearance of the eyeglass frame can play a certain role in aesthetics. Handsome frames add points for appearance.
Sports goggles
With the improvement of people's sports concept and sports protection concept, sports goggles are also widely welcomed. Safety glasses are worn during sports must have four major functions, safety (PC lenses), protection (TR-90 frame, soft and flexible), comfortable (non-slip nose pads and foot covers), and beauty (match sports and leisure clothing).
Sports goggles with shatter-resistant plastic lenses and side shields can prevent balls or sand from hitting the eyes. It can be fixed on the head without worrying about falling off during intense movements. The unique design of the rim of the frame makes the glasses very close to the human face and has a proper external isolation effect so that the human eye is not easy to be attacked by bacteria. The special lens has the functions of anti-fog, anti-shock, and ultraviolet rays, which is very suitable for outdoor activities.
The frames should be the right size.
When choosing glasses for kids, pay attention to the size of the frame. Be careful not to choose frames that are too big for your child, and avoid frames that will create shadows or blind corners.
How Do Bifocal Glasses Work?
After learning some basic information about bifocal lenses, you should know how the bifocal glasses work.
With a pair of bifocal glasses, it would be convenient since they combine all your vision needs into a pair of glasses and you do not need to switch two pairs of glasses frequently. Bifocal glasses are usually designed to for those people who are over the age of 40-45 that need additional help with their near vision due to the effects of presbyopia where the crystalline lens inside the eye naturally begins to lose its ability to focus on near objects.
If you work in the office, you may need a pair of bifocal glasses. The top distance vision in the top of the lens can be used for meetings or presentations and the near vision in the bottom of the lens can be used to look at the computer screen or at documents.
What is blue light?
Our daily lives are inseparable from mobile phones, computers, tablet computers, and other electronic products. Many people's eyesight is also going downhill due to long-term exposure to strong light electronic screens, and their eyes are more or less potentially adversely affected. It is found that many optical stores sell blue light filter glasses, which have the function of blocking 99.9% UV and scattered blue light, alleviating visual fatigue. They claim that these glasses can block short-wave blue light emitted by electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, and even prevent age-related macular degeneration so they are much sought after by consumers. The price of these so-called anti-blue-light glasses varies greatly, ranging from dozens of dollars to several thousand dollars. Do these blue light blocking glasses really have so many magical functions?
The natural light seen by the human eye is composed of a spectrum of different colors, including red light, orange light, yellow light, green light, blue light, indigo light, purple light, which gives people a visual feeling of white. Different wavelengths present different colors visually, and the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. At present, products with electronic screens such as computers and mobile phones use LEDs and other materials to emit light mainly in three colors of red, green, and blue, and blue light accounts for the main part. Blue light belongs to the range of visible light, belongs to short waves. And the wavelength is between 400 nanometers and 500 nanometers, which is close to ultraviolet and carries a large amount of energy. And this part from 400 nanometers to 450 nanometers is called high-energy short-wave blue light.
