4 Things You Need To Know Before Buying Glasses

  1. What is Anti-Reflection Coating (AR)?

The use of anti-reflective coating (AR coating) on lenses has many benefits. Firstly, AR coating improves visual clarity through the lenses. The use of the coating also significantly reduces strain on the eyes. The benefits of AR coating all stems from its ability to virtually eliminate all glare and reflections from the front and back of the lenses. As a positive result of the lack of glare, an increased amount of light is able to pass through the lenses which optimizes visual acuity. This leads to fewer distractions primarily at night time.

  1. What Are The Differences Between Polarized and Non-Polarized Lenses?

Generally, the difference between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses lies in how they impact and protect your eyes when exposed to the sun. Polarized sunglasses are able to reduce the amount of glare and sun haze you will be exposed to while in a sunny environment, while non-polarized sunglasses will not.

Benefit to Polarized Lenses

A valuable benefit polarized lenses offer is almost complete protection against the horizontal glare from the sun, making the suns reflection almost unnoticeable, resulting in a clearer more defined vision. The intensity of the emission of the sun waves is much higher than the scattered ones. Therefore making this kind of light far more harmful for the eyes and especially for those who are driving.

Polarized lenses are used to block the intense light from sun waves reflected off of flat surfaces. The reasoning behind this is that polarized sunglasses are created with vertical polarization, while the light from the sun that is reflected off of flat surfaces is horizontally polarized. Also, various polarized lens colors are made and each of them offer different benefits under various circumstances.

Benefits of Polarized Sunglasses:

  • Reduce Glare, Enhance Contrast,  Clarity, Light Sensitivities , Reduce Eyestrain

Benefits of Non-Polarized Sunglasses

Non-polarized lenses have a dark shade which in deed does reduce the intensity of light coming toward the eyes. However unlike polarized lenses, they are not able to counter and protect the wearer from horizontal polarization. Non-polarized lenses are unable to take into account that in which the direction the light is coming from, deeming them less protective than polarized lenses.

Even though polarized lenses improve visibility and are able to provide far better protection from the suns waves, there are some disadvantages. For example, polarized lenses may actually reduce visibility when looking at an image that is being produced by a liquid crystal display (LCD).

If you are one to be constantly under the sun partaking in activities such as jogging, outdoor sports, fishing or any outdoor activities, polarized sunglasses are most definitely the better choice for you when purchasing new sunglasses.

  1. The Importance of an Up-To-Date Prescription

The standard duration of validity of a prescription for adults is 2 years and 1 year for children under 18. Also, if you have diabetes, it is recommended that you get your eyes checked once a year. If you find that your prescription is outdated, you can call our location in Maple, Ontario to schedule an appointment with an Optometrist.

Below are some useful terms that you will find on your prescription:

  • OD(Oculus Dexter) refers to your right eye.
  • OS(Oculus Sinister) refers to your left eye.
  • Sphere(SPH) indicates the amount of lens power, prescribed to correct nearsightedness (-) or farsightedness(+).
  • ADD(for bifocals) is the added magnifying power applied to the bottom part of multifocal lenses to correct presbyopia.
  • Cylinder(CYL) indicates the amount of lens power for astigmatism.
  • Axisdescribes the positioning of the cylindrical power on your lenses (required for astigmatism).

Note: a contact lens prescription is different from an eyeglass prescription, the two are not interchangeable.

  1. Selecting the Right Frames

When trying to find the right frames, there are a few main factors you should consider when looking for the perfect fit.

Wearing the right frames can not only improve your vision, but can complement your facial features and provide a balance to your overall look. To assist in finding a frame that suits your face, we can categorize the shape of the human face into a few general categories.

FIGURE 1 (Chart sourced from RMRS (Real Men Real Style) online article)

Before buying a new pair of glasses and choosing your new frames, consider what your personal and professional needs are. Are you the creative professional? Are you the busy student? Or are you the stylish parent? Strictly business or young hipster? Concluding your style and looking for a frame that embodies and represents that will greatly help you find a frame that fits your personality and look.

Sizing and comfort should be your primary concern when on the hunt for finding a new frame. A frame can look great on your face but if the sizing is off they will be terribly uncomfortable. If you currently own a frame that fit you well, you can check the eyes size measurements printed on the inside arm of the frame. Also in some cases the eye size will be printed behind the nose bridge of the frame. The first number is the eye size which represents the measurements of the horizontal width of the lenses, this measurement ranges generally between 40mm-62mm. The second number following the eye size number is the bridge size. This number ranges generally between 14mm-24mm. The bridge size is the measurement between the two lenses.

astigmatism vision

What is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurred vision. It occurs when the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) is irregularly shaped or sometimes because of the curvature of the lens inside the eye. ... Most people have some degree of astigmatism.

Astigmatism is a refractive error, like farsightedness and nearsightedness, meaning it is not an eye disease; it's just a problem with how the eye focuses light.

In an eye with astigmatism, light fails to come to a single focus on the retina to produce clear vision. Instead, multiple focus points occur, either in front of the retina or behind it (or both).

Astigmatism Symptoms

Astigmatism usually causes blurred or distorted vision to a certain degree at all distances.

Symptoms of uncorrected astigmatism are eye strain and headaches, especially after reading or other prolonged visual tasks.

Squinting also is also a very common telltale sign that one has developed astigmatism.

What Causes Astigmatism?

Astigmatism is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. Instead of the cornea having a symmetrically round shape (like a baseball), it is shaped more like an American football, with one meridian being more curved than the meridian perpendicular to it.

The steepest and flattest meridians of an eye with astigmatism are called the principal meridians.

In some cases, astigmatism is caused by the shape of the lens inside the eye. This is called lenticular astigmatism, to differentiate it from the more common corneal astigmatism.

 

Types of Astigmatism

There are three primary types of astigmatism:

  • Myopic astigmatism. One or both principal meridians of the eye are nearsighted. (If both meridians are nearsighted, they are myopic in differing degree.)
  • Hyperopic astigmatism. One or both principal meridians are farsighted. (If both are farsighted, they are hyperopic in differing degree.)
  • Mixed astigmatism. One principal meridian is nearsighted, and the other is farsighted.

Astigmatism can also be known and classified as regular or irregular. In regular astigmatism, the principal meridians are 90 degrees apart (perpendicular to each other). In irregular astigmatism, the principal meridians are not perpendicular. Most astigmatism is regular corneal astigmatism, which gives the front surface of the eye an oval shape.

Irregular astigmatism can result from an eye injury that has caused scarring on the cornea, from certain types of eye surgery or from keratoconus, a disease that causes a gradual thinning of the cornea.

Astigmatism Correction Options

Astigmatism, like nearsightedness and farsightedness, usually can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.
