“Met by your glasses, sent by your
brain...”
The spectacles and the spectacle lenses in particular belong to the high-tech products of modern civilization together with the computers and space technologies. Regardless of all predictions for decline of the spectacles, we find an amazing progress in all aspects – scientific, fashion etc. The spectacles are not only not in decoy but also turned from a “prosthesis” to a perfect technological and vanguard fashion accessories that underlines the personal style and individuality of their owner.
All these things have its logic, because such a perfect apparatus as the human sight is needs the corresponding perfect device for restoration when disorder breaks it's normal functions. In the end the spectacles are one of the first to create an impression upon the others and to tell something about their owner. The proper frame is a necessary but not sufficient agent to turn your spectacles into an aesthetical and useful product.
For your best choice it is not necessary to be an optician or an engineer.
The kind of the lenses, tint, coatings and filters should be chosen according to your individual demands and resources. One of the most important things is to refer to an optic where you will find guaranties and whose officials will give you information for all products offered by the world lens’s manufacturers on a comprehensible language.
An improvised test. Have ever happened to you to:
- To skip your friends on the street not recognizing them?- To blink that you may see better?
- Feel your eyes wearied off after long drive?
- Work for long on your computer still unable to finish all the work because you need some rest. Your eyes are hot and dry.
- Your daughter learned not her words again because she was not able to copy them correct from the blackboard.
- Your son bends his head too close to the writing pad when writes his homework and you have to make him a constant remarks
- You would like to go out skiing, but the sun dazzles you.
If your answers consist more than one affirmative answer it means that you or some of your relatives needs a sight correction. Trust to a qualified ophthalmologist who will determine the refraction abnormality you have.
Correction for one kind of distance – myopia.
If you have to correct one distance only - for far sight /glasses for permanent use/ or for close sight /for reading etc./ you will need single vision lenses.The variety of these lenses is immense and as with other lenses you will find standard ones as well as special kinds that allow an individual mounting according to the specified requirements and needs of each customer – a major difference between R and L powers, too strong power, astigmatism etc
Presbiopia
If you never been in need of spectacles, but now you start to take away your reading bit by bit until your hands become “too short”, that means that you entered the so called presbiopia age. It is nothing to be ashamed of or to fear – it is a simple physiology phenomenon. There are a few ways to correct that refraction irregularity.“Reading” glasses
They will correct only the distance that is not sufficient – 30cm.Office-lenses
For a person that has presbiopia is recommendable to use office-lenses. Their usage allows the communication to remain in order until he/she works. These lenses have a special design that allows a clear sight not only at 30cm of distance, but also for objects outlying at 1.5/2.5m such as monitor, mates, customers – the workable space in the modern office. If the ophthalmologist determined necessity of correction for different distances you have several alternatives.
Two pairs of spectacles
+ cheap + you are not forced to wait your new spectacles for long
- they are not able to correct the frequently used middle distances – from 40cm up to 2-3m.
- you should change them often – that causes damages and you risk to lose them.
Bifocal lenses
+ combine a portion for far distance and built-in segment for close distance. + the inconvenience of unceasing change of spectacles is avoided.
- there is a visible dividing line that injures the middle portion
- that kind of spectacles makes you to appear older than you are
Progressive lenses
The top in technology and functionality are the multifocal lenses. These lenses correct all distances without any dividing line. The last generation of the progressive lenses permit wider vision field especially for near and middle distances. These spectacles are made with individual design of the progressive channel that corresponds to the specific powers of the customer. The admonition of FOX OPTICS:
Pleasant and proper usage of progressive lenses is a complex factor. It starts with a qualified and competent medical check up goes through the right choice of proper lenses and ends with the precise centering and mounting according to the individual measure of each eye.
You should never compromise with these conditions if you going to have a perfect sight for each distance that does not impose you to move your head and eyes in unwonted and uncomfortable way.
