Posted on July 31, 2010 by dee

Recently shopping online is more and more popular and it is becoming a new fashion, especially increasing people are choosing to shop online for eyeglasses. Why are there so many people shopping for eyeglasses online? The answer is that most of them are attracted by the low price of the eyeglasses online. If you have ever paid attention, you will notice that the price of a pair of eyeglasses online is several times cheaper than the price of that pair of eyeglasses in the mortar-and-bricks stores. However, as a life necessary, eyeglasses have some relation with your health. I understand it’s important to save money, but it’s more important to take quality of eyeglasses into consideration. The eyeglasses with low quality will harm your eyes. If the quality of your eyeglasses is not good, you won’t feel comfortable with it. As time passes your eyes are tending to be easily tired, as a result this will influence your life. Eyeglasses are supposed to rectify your vision. While if the quality of your eyeglasses is not good, then they won’t rectify your vision, on the contrary, they will damage your eyes and let your vision decrease gradually. There is a lot of suchlike harm. Therefore, the first thing to consider when buying eyeglasses is their quality.

There is a great deal of online eyeglass stores, many of them are selling eyeglasses at a low price. But the quality of eyeglasses is hard to lay it on with a trowel. If you have bought eyeglasses in this kind of online eyeglass stores, you will understand that the frames are so frail to be broke, the lenses are so bad that it’s quite easy to be frayed, and the quality of assembly is not so good that after wearing those eyeglasses for a certain time some eyeglasses’ parts will become less crowded.

Well, do all online eyeglass stores sell eyeglasses at a low price with bad quality? The answer is negative. There are many excellent online eyeglass stores. As far as I know, Glassesshop is one of the outstanding online eyeglass stores. All eyeglasses in her are from the world eyeglass center—Dangyang, China. Dangyang is the biggest eyeglass manufacture base in China where has low-cost labor force and high quality raw material resource. Therefore, without reference to frames or lenses they all have high quality. Its eyeglasses are worth your trust. So if you buy a pair of eyeglasses made there, you make a profit.

Thus online eyeglass stores such as Glassesshop are some place you are able to buy perfect eyeglasses. In a word, when you shop for eyeglasses online, do not only care about price, the quality should always be the first thing you consider while you are choosing eyeglasses. Just leave price alone. However, this doesn’t mean totally regardless of price. I mean you have to find some online eyeglass stores selling eyeglasses at low price but with good quality.

Put a Safety Coat on Your Eyes

Posted on June 21, 2010 by dee

Summer is coming, and the burning sun threatened our brittle skin again. In this torrid summer day, I think many people have prepared sunscreen or parasol or sun bonnet like I did. Is that enough? Definitely not. When I go shopping or do some outdoor activities, I feel very unwell the sun shines on my eyes. Most of time my eyes are really tired and sore, or even become vision blurred. So I know I need a pair of sunglasses. But how to choose proper sunglasses is not an easy thing. Next I want to share with you some information about the sunglasses choosing which I collected for several days. I hope it’s useful for your guys.

First, you should know your purpose of choosing sunglasses.

There are so many kinds of sunglasses which are for different groups and occasions. Before buying sunglasses, the first thing we must assure is what we look for in a pair of sunglasses? For sun-shading or just as a decoration? Do we need the UV protection besides sun-shading? Do we have the special require about lens? Only after clearing these purposes and combining the patterns of sunglasses and our face shapes, we can choose the most proper sunglasses.

Second, try to understand the product marks.

1.       Marks about the function of anti- ultraviolet.

Most of people wanna have a pair of sunglasses to protect their eyes from harmful UV rays, and reduce eye strain in bright conditions. So they put UV protection on their must-have list. When we choose a pair of sunglasses, we must check labels to make sure the sunglasses provide 100 percent UVA and UVB protection. The label should read either UV 400 or 100% UV protection.

2.       Marks about safety performance.

Some sunglasses have safety performance and their lenses are made by some impact materials like PC lens. In the labels and instructions of this kind of sunglasses, we should find the following marks, such as impact resistance, in line with the highest standard of Europe and the United States, and so on. If the product is printed these marks, it’s a good choice for drivers and motorcyclists who are have special demand of safety.

Third, we should learn some knowledge of sunglasses lens tints.

Recently, sunglasses lenses are coming in all colors. Many people may have this kind of question “do these sunglasses with different color have the same effect of UV protection?” Actually, there is no relationship between color and UV protection. Many people think that the lens color like pink or yellow is bad to our eyes. Oppositely, dark lenses with no UV protection are worse for the eye than light lenses with UV protection because the dark color allows pupils to dilate and be more susceptible to UV damage. Different colors have different function of light intensity adjustment. Usually, gray seems the better choice because it can equably reduce brightness, but do not distort color. Other colors like blue, will distort color to make the object you saw tend to blue; and yellow lens tints reduce the haze from blue light, so they really sharpen up the view, but they cause more color distortion.

Ok, the above are some useful knowledge I collected about choosing sunglasses. Hoping all the people can learn something from these, and don’t forget to put a safety coat on your eyes which will keep your eyes beautiful and healthy in this hot summer.

Sense of Belonging

Posted on June 8, 2010 by dee

“Well, everything is OK. I have many friends here, yeah, boss treats me well. Err…mom; I have to go back to work. I’ll call you later.” I hang the phone, again. I have to hang the phone, I don’t want to let mom hear my sad voice. I always tell mom I’m leading a good life, but actually I’m really lonely, extremely lonely.

I was born in a beautiful village. Life there was simple and happy. My parents hoped me to spend my whole life there happily, without any misery. However, I wanted to see the world outside the village. I wanted to be a big fish in the sea, instead of the pond. I studied very hard and passed the college entrance examination. It was New York University. I still remember how crazy I felt when I knew I made it! Filled with excitement and hope for my colorful future, I left the village and came to the most fashionable city, New York.

In the university, I made some new friends, but I could see that they didn’t like me very much, because I was a country girl. They went to parties and changed boyfriends frequently. However, the only thing I did in my college time was study.

Luckily, after graduation, I found a job in a big company. I became an office lady. Better future lies in our own hands. So I worked very hard, sometimes, I stayed in my office until ten o’clock in the evening. My eyesight became very poor, I had to wear glasses. But I had to keep good image, so I wore contact lenses.

Unconsciously, it has been seven years since I left home. I have been a workaholic for three years. Sitting in front of computer for more than 12 hours a day, my eyes feel tired. My heart is tired, too. I have stayed here for seven years, but I don’t even have a good friend. All people to me are just acquaintances. When I’m sad or happy, I look at the phone number but don’t know who I can call. I’m always busy studying or working. I can earn enough money but I’m lonely. In the dark night, I can only hear me crying in the empty house. Finally, I have the feeling that I should go back home. But that means I have to give up everything I struggle for in New York. What should I do?

I take off my contact lenses and put on frame glasses. I think of my happy childhood in the village. It’s like a relief. I miss my family. Maybe I should follow my heart. If I don’t have sense of belonging, you are a tramp wherever you are.

The Invisible Killer for My Glasses

Posted on May 12, 2010 by dee

This summer has already gone away. However, I feel my eyes get injured. My eyes often feel tired and uncomfortable.

 This is quite strange, because I think I have taken good care of my eyes since I knew I got short-sighted. I would always prepare a pair of ray ban sunglasses with resin lenses in my car and wear it when I am driving. Therefore, what the problem is?

 I go to see my doctor to get the answer. At first, I can’t help complaining my situation and told him about the above things. After that, my doctor tells me that he may have found the killer, both for my eyes and glasses, which is the high temperature. I suggest you take a good look at your sunglasses in the car now.

 As the doctor has speculated, the lenses of my ray ban sunglasses have been obscure. He told me that the structure of the resin lens often consists of three layers and each layer has different dilatation. If the temperature reaches 60℃, the lenses will become obscure.

 For a short-sighted driver, he will take off the sunglasses and wear the short-sighted glasses after driving. Then the sunglasses will be left in the car. There is an experiment showing that temperature in the car could over 50℃ when the outdoor temperature reaches 32℃. In this case, the sunglasses in the car are subject to damage.

 It is also a reminder of not going to places where high temperature is predominant with a pair of resin glasses, such as sauna field.

 In addition, the abrasion of resin lenses will cause big damage to eyesight. When the transparency of the resin lens declines, people will easily get the weary feeling, especially the short-sighted and astigmatic people. This is extremely harmful to the drivers who need to concentrate on driving. If drivers feel tried, it is likely to cause traffic accidents. What’s more, the change of the resin lenses caused by the high temperature may even cause frame deformation, which will hurt the eye muscle.

 Therefore, we have known that the high temperature can also be the killer for our glasses, even eyes. My advice is do not leave your resin glasses in the car in summer and keep it away from high temperature in order to protect your eyes. Do not make the same mistake as I did.

Posted on April 29, 2010 by dee

The sun shines right overhead, so on large streets and small lanes there are more and more people wearing sunglasses. Certainly, as a health product of visual acuity, the sunglasses can prevent the intensive stimulation to human eyes of sunlight. As the improvement of people’s material and cultural levels, sunglasses which could be considered as special ornaments for beauty and showing one’s personality are also being accepted and loved by people. However, ophthalmologists warn you that:”Not everyone is suitable to wear sunglasses, in addition, many people show a lack of knowledge when selecting sunglasses, your eyes are likely to be injured if the sunglasses are not suitable.”

Sunglasses are sold on large streets and small lanes:walking on the steets, you can see all kinds of sunglasses full of large and small stalls and they are many times cheaper than those sold in special sunglass stores. Among them, there is a kind of sunglasses that originated from the 1960s and 1970s. They have super large frames and fashionable designs and are classic as well. They are popular around the world and loved deeply by the consumers. However, few people can realize that except cheapness such sunglasses do no benefits to eyes and even do harm to the eyes. The majority of the people who wears short-sighted glasses will buy their glasses in the standard eyeglasses stores. However, as for sunglasses, many people allocate them as “adornments”. So they always opt for the fashionable design and appealing appearance regardless of optical shops or small boutique or even the stall with goods spread out on the ground for sale. For many people, brand glasses are really expensive. So someone choose to buy sunglasses on the Internet. In general conditions, the standard on-line shops can provide products whose qualities are guaranteed.

Glaucoma patients are not suitable to wear sunglasses, ” improperly selected and poor-quality sunglasses are highly likely to do harm to eyes.” Numerous eye experts state that glaucoma patients or persons with suspected glaucoma are not suitable to wear sunglasses. As soon as glaucomatous patients wear sunglasses, the visible light coming into the eyes decreases which is easy to cause acute about angle-closure glaucoma. Meanwhile, experts remind everyone, some people wear sunglasses regardless of time and occasion, outdoors and indoors, strong and weak sun light and even at dusk, in evenings or in the course of watching TV. It will aggravate the burden of the eyes and cause tonus of ocular muscles, blur visual sense and even dizzy and not able to watching for a long time in a more serious condition.

In addition, children under six whose visual performances are not fully developed are not suitable to wear sunglasses. Because if children wear sunglasses for a long time, the macular area below the eyes couldn’t be stipulated effectively which would influence the development of visual sense and it could even cause amblyopia. If the children have to fend UV because they have many outdoor activities, people can consult oculists for notes for children wearing sunglasses.

Sunglasses of bad quality can not prevent the harm of UV: experts believe that some sunglasses labeled “anti-UV” on the market actually don’t have anti-UV function. Therefore, we have to buy sunglasses in regular shops, in order to choose the sunglasses which are produced by regular manufactures of good credit, and the sunglasses can prevent UV. At the same time, the lenses must be smooth and has no bubbles and scatches.

When the eyes receive the strong light, the human body have the instinct reaction of protection. The pupil will naturally narrow to reduce the energy of ultra-violet ray falling into the eyes. If you wear sunglasses with no anti-UV function, your pupils will become larger instead; The sunglasses can not resist UV and instead a large amount of UV will inject into eyes, doing great harm to your eyes. Eye doctors say that shoddy lens can also lead to symptoms like sickness, short memory, and insomnia and so on.

It Is Time for a Change

Posted on April 19, 2010 by dee

People nowadays use eyes in a wrong way, particularly children and young people. They use their eyes in unhealthy ways, namely the misuse and abuse of eyes—too hard, too close, too long, without looking up and away and taking any rest. By doing so, larger pupils, pains, strains, and headaches, eyes are developed through the normal into myopia. This occurs to over ten out of a hundred children and young people. Twenty-five years ago it was only a few per thousand. So here is the consequence: more and more of them are wearing eyeglasses.

The first pair of glasses is not offered as a panacea for eyes. Eyes stay the same. So eyeglasses should be replaced by new ones according to the changing condition of eyes.

Generally speaking, after getting the first pair of eyeglasses, most of people will not change them until they are broken or they can not be used anymore. According to a recent large-scale investigation, among customers who use plastic lenses, about 30% of them change their glasses every three years or even longer. Worse still, many of them will not have a change until the glasses are broken. Without any exceptional circumstance, eyeglasses should be changed about every two years for adjustment and upgrade. If there is a scratch on the lens, the optical correction of eyeglasses will be affected. If the frame of eyeglasses is twisted or loosened, the focus of eyeglasses will not meet the pupil center, which is harmful to our eyes. So it is necessary to check them regularly, take good care of them and thus put them under good working condition.

For teenagers whose eyes deteriorate at a faster speed, they need to change eyeglasses every six months to one year. They sit too close to the television or computer for a super long time, which causes ciliary muscle fatigue and the strength of their eyes progress to two or three diopters. If eyeglasses are not fit for the improving diopter strength where the increased myopia comes from, eyes will grow worse and worse.

As for seniors, presbyopic glasses should also be changed at regular intervals. Presbyopia is caused by ageing lens. When people grow older and older, lens aging problem becomes worse, and at the same time the glasses will not fit the changing eyes. When seniors have problems in reading newspapers even with their glasses and they also feel pain and discomfort in eyes, it means they need a change.

It is true that if eyeglasses are overused, they will make eyes worse, which is not well known to most of people who wear eye glasses, but some people do know that they need a change. However, they would not do so by taking money and other troublesome things into consideration. It is difficult for people to find a gorgeous pair of glasses at a low price. And changing a new one requires going to the hospital and having a recheck of eyes. In addition, a perfect match is not that easily to be found.

Besides, never underestimate the value of the right pair of glasses, which can flatter your face, give you a right and bright look and make a brand-new you! So go home, look yourself straight into the mirror and say to yourself, go get a new pair of glasses now!
