Take care of your eyelgasses

Contacts never fail to fascinate modern people. They serve the same purpose as the traditional glasses do, but the former are lightweight and almost invisible which make them more convenient and aesthetics for wearing. But wearing contacts also have some disadvantages which you should always take into consideration. 

I am also a contacts user and here are the experiences I want to share with you after wearing them for almost 3 years. I never wear contacts all day and everyday, except when I am going outdoors with friends or having a party. Because wearing contacts too regularly may cause some eye diseases like dry eyes and may also thins the cornea. Scientific researches have already proved that the eyes’ surface condition depends on the following factors: the adequate content of tears and the adequate content of oxygen. So try to wear traditional glasses in normal times as it is easier for your delicate eyes to get enough O2.

In addition, wearing the contacts may lower your eyes sensitivity because of the constant irritation. We blink eyes to keep eyes moist and prevent the dust from coming into our eyes. Thus, a lack of sensitivity won’t benefit the eyes. What’s more, you should pay particular attention to the hygiene. Infections transmitted by bacteria and fungi can pose severe threat to the eyes in case you carry on using an unhygienic pair of contact lenses. Thus, the proper methods of cleaning, storing and replacing your contacts are of the utmost importance.

What’s also worth noting is that if you carry some eye diseases like trachoma you’d better never try to wear it as the contacts may make your condition even worse. Do not forget to bring a bottle of eye drops with you to keep your eyes moist when your eyes feel dry and uncomfortable.

Wearing contacts is a lot more convenient and aesthetic than the common glasses or spectacles, but you should keep it clean and use it correctly in order to protect your dear eyes. After all, healthy eyes are a lot more important than just looking good.

Progressive glasses were invented in 1950s. Having been developed for more than half a century, its performance acts better and better. Generally speaking, progressive glasses are mainly suitable for the elders. However, with the development of technology in progressive glasses, now it can also be used to prevent and control myopia on youngsters.

It is reported by Essilor International that, in France, eighty-four percent of the elders wear progressive glasses. But in United States, the rate is fairly low. Few elders have enjoyed the convenience brought by progressive glasses in US. It is probably due to the following two reasons.

Firstly, some elders think the price of the progressive glasses is so high that they can’t afford it. Generally speaking, the price of a pair of ordinary progressive glasses in the entity shops is four hundred US dollars or more. Most of the elders think that just a pair of glasses is not worth so much money. Is there any way to enjoy the convenience of wearing progressive glasses but also cost less money at the same time? It is suggested by some experts that they can buy one in some e-shops such as bigeyeoptical.com. In these e-shops, the price of the progressive glasses is generally less than one hundred dollars. Besides, most of the owners of the e-shops pledge that consumers could ask for exchanging or replacing a purchase at their pleasure within five days from the day they receive the glasses.

Secondly, the ophthalmology and prescription of the progressive glasses needs high and new technology, so lots of medium and small-sized glass shops can’t afford much investment in the technology. Therefore, right now, there are not many glass shops supplying the progressive glasses in the market.  

According to a professional ophthalmologist, the progressive glasses are very suitable for the following two kinds of people.

First: people who are more than forty-five years old, and have need in watching objects constantly in near distance, medium distance and far distance with a long history of wearing glasses. The last point, a long history of wearing glasses is very important, for the long-time wearers have already been used to the image difference caused by glasses, while the new wearers feel uncomfortable even by wearing glasses with no strength, not to mention the progressive glasses.

Second: teenagers whose strength of myopia increases at the speed of more than one diopter per year. It is proved by scientific experiments that the degeneration of their eyesight could be controlled and the condition of their myopia could be improved after they wear the progressive glasses.

The professional opthalmologist also remind that it is better for the following three kinds of people not to wear the progressive glasses. 

First: people whose refractive difference between two eyes is more than ±2 diopters and strength of astigmatism is more than ±2 diopters. The eyes of these people are in a special condition in which the refractive power of one eye differs from that of the other, so they aren’t able to put up with the prism effect caused by focusing of eyes.

Second: people who have need in enjoying a broad sight in medium and near distance. Therefore, drivers, library screen-watchers, accountants, etc. should not wear progressive glasses.

Third: people who are able to see objects in far distance clearly, never wear glasses before and hope to select a pair of glasses that can be applied in watching objects in near, medium or far distance. The glasses they want are commonly called the progressive glasses with no strength on the up part but with the effect of presbyopia lenses on the down part. Briefly speaking, these kinds of people are particular about their glasses, so they can hardly select a suitable pair of progressive glasses.
