What is worth knowing about eyeglasses?

Today's eyeglasses are very different from those manufactured a dozen years ago. The manufacturing technique allows perfect adaptation to individual needs. It's worth learning about the solutions available and how best to fit them to our eyes.

Today's corrective glasses are relatively rarely made from classic glass. To reduce the weight of the glasses, plastics are used, m.in. popular CR-39 material. They are not only lighter, but have increased resistance to damage and scratches.

Types of eyeglasses

How many eye defects, so many types of glasses. Due to the purpose and differences in the construction of corrective glasses, we distinguish between:

- Monofocal lenses - spherical, in which the optical power is located at the optical center only, and aspherical, where the optical power is actually on the entire surface;

- Bifocal lenses - composed of two segments with different powers. The upper part corrects long distance vision, while the lower part corrects near vision;

- Progressive lenses - with a so-called smooth focal length. Enable simultaneous correction of long distance, near distance and intermediate distance vision. They are most often used to correct presbyopia and other eye accommodation disorders.

Proper selection of eyeglasses

Choosing the right eyeglasses is a matter worth your time and attention. For visual comfort and overall well-being, it will be important not only to choose the right values (diopters), but also to determine the pupil distance (PD). Even millimeter deviations in this range can cause fatigue, headaches and malaise. It is best to entrust the selection of glasses to the professionals from the online store EyeWear24.net .

Types of coatings on eyeglasses

Today's eyeglasses can be coated with additional coatings to enhance vision in a variety of situations. The most popular of these are:

- Hardening coatings - to further protect the glass from scratches;

- Anti-reflective coatings - eliminating light reflections formed on the glass, give better visual contrast and clarity. They are recommended for people working in front of computer screens;

- oleophobic coatings - ideal for those annoyed by the slightest dirt on their glasses. This is because they cause dust, grease and other dirt to adhere less to the lenses;

- Anti-electrostatic coatings - to prevent electrification of the glass and reduce dust settling;

- Blue Control coatings - to protect the eyes from so-called blue light emitted by the sun, LED lighting, and modern digital devices. Blue light in large amounts can cause health problems, such as the sensation of dry eyes, fatigue, irritability and even insomnia;

- Polarized coatings - great for driving, as they protect from the sun and enhance visual acuity;

- UV coatings - to protect against UV radiation falling on the inner surface of the glasses.

Tinted or photochromic glasses - effective protection from the sun

A modern optical solution for people who require vision correction, but at the same time protection from the sun's rays, are tinted glasses. Photochromes are also a popular choice to protect the eyes from the sun's rays. These are smart glasses that darken when exposed to UV rays and brighten when you enter the room. They can be fitted with any of the frames available in the EyeWear24 online store.net, e.g. bvlgari glasses.
