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.

Injury to Your Eyes Due to Choosing Improper Sunglasses

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!

A Way to Survive the Economic Crisis

Posted on April 12, 2010 by dee

Are you still struggling to make your ends meet monthly? The crisis has no doubt had an impact on our daily life. We have to make provisions for the possibility that one day we may be the target of our company’s cutting job. Industriousness and frugality seem to be the common virtue of people who are now threatened with the chance of being fired. They have tried every means at their disposal to reduce their expenses.

Therefore, inexpensive commodities are especially popular with them. It is said that cheap hamburger has got its way in France. People begin to pay more attention to the practicality of goods rather than its brand. Pursuing name brand products is the privilege of the rich. The averages seem to be keen on the online shopping where prices are usually acceptable for most customers.

Recently, I am engaging myself in shopping online. I find it marvelous to place an order by simple clicking my mouse instead of running hither and thither to pick out what I really need. The only thing I have to do is sitting comfortably at home, and waiting for my parcel. I have been thinking about changing my glasses for a long time.

Several weeks ago, when I settled on a pair of frame in a substantial store, the salesgirl politely told me that I have to wait for a whole week for they are out of stock at that time.

A week later, when I reentered the store to take my glasses, I was informed that I would have to wait for another week for their supplier had made a late delivery of order. Why do I have to be responsible for the supplier’s late delivery?

Then I gave up and tried to search for the glasses online. When I came across a website called GlassesShop.com, to my surprise, I found the price of the exactly same frame I long for was much cheaper than in the store. Moreover, the virtual shop provides me with a wide range of choices.

At first, I was skeptical of its quality. But when I signed for my package, my misgiving was turned out to be senseless. Ever since, I became crazy about shopping online. Now I am skillful at picking what I do want from a mess.

If you are struggling against the crisis, you might as well turn to the online shopping for help. I am sure that there won’t be any difficulty for you to get what you need at the lowest cost.

Good News to the Myopia Group who is Fond of Swimming

Posted on April 2, 2010 by dee

Nowadays, there are more and more people fond of swimming. Among these people, there is a special group, which is the myopia suffers. In the past years, as to those who are myopia suffers, swimming is nearly impossible, because once removed the eyeglasses, they would not be able to step any more. If wearing the contact lenses when swimming, you will easily lead the infection of eyes. And once the contact lenses lose in the swimming pool, if you want to find them just like to find a needle in a haystack. Then how should the myopia group get the suitable swimming goggles? Here I will tell you some points.

As to the myopia group, when choosing the swimming goggles, they should take the optical and medical performances into consideration. And the comfort is also an important aspect. Besides, the appropriate performance can not be ignored. What’s more, since the myopia can not act conveniently in the water after taking off the eyeglasses, I recommend them to select the goggles with appropriate degree.

At present, the goggles designed for those who are short-sighted mainly use the steel processing, the polycarbonate and the silicone as materials. In addition, the performances of anti-ultraviolet and anti-fog are also be added and strengthened.

When the consumers are choosing the swimming goggles, generally speaking, they should base the principle that is according to the degree of the eyeglasses, they should decrease 50-100 degrees to purchase their swimming goggles. For example, if your degree of myopia is 500, then when you are selecting the goggles, you should choose the goggles with the degrees of 400 or 450 lenses. If the consumers have astigmatism, they can divide the degree of astigmatism by 2 and then combine with the degree of myopia. This is the ideal degree of the goggles. For example, your degree of myopia is 500 and your degree of astigmatism is 100, you should choose a pair of goggles whose lenses have the degree of 450 or 500. As to the consumers whose eyes have the different degrees of myopia, they must also choose the goggles whose degrees of the two lenses are different.

As myopia, the people must pay more attention to the selection of goggles compared to those whose eyesight is pretty good. And I hope what I have listed above will help you more or less when you are choosing your own swimming goggles.

How to diminish computers’ harm to your eyes

Posted on March 1, 2010 by dee

The final examination is coming. I’m faced with several papers in front of me. To finish them before the deadline, I have to spend several whole days in front of my computer, to search for information and to write the papers. It’s really a tough job.

After a long day’s work, I feel dizzy and weak. My eyes feel dry and ache, as if they just come from a vast desert. I know I have to rest now; otherwise my eyes are going to be blind. 

So have you ever had such experience? I’m sure you have. To those who have to sit before computers everyday, problems in terms of eyes are inevitable, but adjustable.

First, change the color of your computer screen. That’s easy. Open “control panel” and you will see Display. Then choose Appearance, and then Advanced and you will get Items, in which you shall choose Windows, then Color and “Others”. Here you need set Hue at 85, Sat at 90 and Lum at 205. After all these steps, you click “Add” and then you “add to custom colors”. Finish all these and all you need do is to click “Ok”. When you finish these clicks, you will get an eye-friendly color for your computer screen. As to what the color exactly is, well you have to see yourself.

After changing your window’s screen, next step is to change your Internet background color. First open IE, click Tools, choose Internet Options, click Assessibility at the right bottom and then choose “Ignore colors specified on web pages”. By clicking OK, you will see IE background color be changed into the same eye-friendly color as your screen. 

Only some clicks can give your eyes a different feeling and a magic protection. At first, you may be unaccustomed to this new color since you are used to white for so long time, but believe me, try it and you will get surprised.

Second, if you have to work for a long in front of computers, you are advised to grow some small plants in your computer room. Plants, on one hand, will generate oxygen and help clean the air in your room. Clean air can help you keep a clear mind. On the other hand, plants will increase moisture in your room and therefore do good to eyes. Also with green plants by your side, you’ll in a good mood.

Eyes are really important to us. When you are working hard and your eyes begin to protect, never ignore them. Try to rest or give eyes some protection.

Contact Lens for the Presbyopic May Not Suitable for All

Posted on February 21, 2010 by dee

A lot of old people will occur various eye problems, at the same time, eyewear with all kinds of features has also come into being, and become popular. The development of high technology has brought us a lot of convenience. Take glasses for example, many types of glasses have emerged and brought great help to different groups of people .

For example, some contact lenses are also available to presbyopia persons in the market, but the eye experts have pointed out that the use of presbyopic contact lenses must meet certain conditions. For instance, he or she is shortsighted, and has been used to wearing contact lenses, thus it is certainly easy to wear presbyopic contact lenses. But presbyopic contact glasses probably could not deal with astigmatism, so they are not suitable for myopic people with deep degree of astigmatism.

As to those who never have myopia and want to wear presbyopic contact glasses, they might need some time to learn and adjust. Maybe some people can not wear it because of adaptation or their own problems like dry eye, finally they still choose other ways. In addition, this kind of contact lenses only help patients to see objects in a close distance, not are accepted by everyone .

Eye expert says that if you change shortsighted contact lens to presbyopic contact lens you will find your ability of seeing long-range view is not good than before. But the general white-collar workers wear short-sighted insead of long-sighted glasses, because their work mainly is to look through documents by computers. As long as they can see clearly the short-term things ,it doesn’t matter a lot when they see the long-term worse.

The most common way to rectify presbyopica is to wear the glasses with right degrees, including two kinds below, which normally are used for nearsighted people. Bifocal glasses: two focus; wearers should use different areas of lens to see near or far. For example, look far with upper focus, such as watching television; lood near with lower focus, such as reading. The double-focus eyeglasses bring convenience to a certain extent, but meanwhile they are different from general shortsighted glasses. As a result, it requires process to adapt this kind of glass.

progressive spectacles: which has multiple focuses and the degree varies from up to down, ususlly the up for far view, the down for close objects and the midst for middle-distance things. The convenience of gradual glasses is favored by many people. Not only the middle aged and elderly people, even some parents let their little children to choose gradual glasses.

Furthermore, presbyopia sufferers without myopia can wear reading glasses only for near vision. This kind of glasses is only to pick up when reading, and take off on the other time. People who wear contact lens duo to nearsightedness can wear presbyopic glasses at the same time according to the instructions of oculists.
