About celluloid glasses
In 1929, the first large-scale production of sunglasses made of celluloid was made by SamFoster, an American who ran a women's accessories company facing bankruptcy and made it convenient to use the injection molding technology used to make hairbrushes. Sunglasses made of celluloid were sold on the beach of Grand West, New Jersey, and became very popular. Indeed, celluloid glasses were once popular because of their high-cost performance, but celluloid gradually faded out of people's eyes due to its poor chemical stability, flammability, and other shortcomings, with the emergence of new materials for glasses.
How do I know what size glasses frame I need?
With unified factory product size, why others can wear without problems, but there is a problem when I wear the glasses? There are differences between the contours of each person's face, including factors such as the width of the head, the distance between the ears and the corners of the eyes as the crow flies, the thickness of the bridge of the nose, and so on, which involves ergonomics. But there is one thing we can agree on. When people with the same ear distance wear the same type of glasses, they have different feelings, even if the arm length of the glasses is the same. People with fatter faces will feel uncomfortable. The face will be uncomfortable because the ear distance is the same, but the face width is not the same, resulting in an increased oblique distance of the temple, resulting in a sense of pressure.
It is very simple to solve this problem. You need to look at a variety of parameters in the frame of the glasses, including the total width of the frame, the length of the arm. These parameters will be reflected in a qualified spectacle frame.
Clean Glasses Properly
If the glasses are dirty, don't just wipe them with other cloth. If you use some hard cloth to wipe, it is easy to cause scratches in the lens. Generally speaking, the following cleaning methods are all feasible.
1. Use neutral or alkaline cleaning agent. Remember, toothpaste cannot be used as a substitute for the cleaning agent for spectacle lenses. General optical shops also sell lens cleaners in small bottles, which are easy to carry.
2. Go to the optical shop for professional ultrasonic cleaning. General optical shops provide free cleaning services. The ultrasonic cleaning machine can fully clean every gap and groove of the glasses.
3. Rinse the lens with tap water. Hold the frame in one hand and the cleaner in the other hand. Rub it slowly against the lens, and then rinse it off with clean water. Then wipe it with a glasses cloth or let it dry naturally.
In addition to the glasses cannot be cleaned with alcohol, you should also pay attention to their placement for daily maintenance. Try to avoid putting it under high temperature, and avoid oily, smoke, etc. If you don't use them, put them in the glasses case.
The style of prescription glasses
Choose the material, and then choose the style. The width of the appropriate frame should match the distance between the two pupils to ensure that the eye can pass through the optical center when looking at things. Choose the right style according to your face shape. Generally follow the complementarity principle, such as choosing square frames for round faces and round frames for square faces. After choosing the frame, you should try it on for a while to see if the weight is appropriate and the style is suitable.
What Are Progressive Lenses?
Progressive lenses have grown in popularity and are one of the most common solutions to treat vision loss that occurs with age or presbyopia. This eye condition occurs when the eye loses some of its flexibility and ability to adjust to clear seeing objects at different distances. Presbyopia often occurs among adults who are over age 40 and is very easy to correct with a proper and prompt diagnosis.
Progressive lenses are often used to correct this eye condition. Progressive lenses are a modern alternative to bifocal glasses, which provides two prescriptions in a single set of glasses. Bifocal glasses are a better solution than carrying around multiple pairs of glasses. Progressive lenses were developed to resolve some of those common issues and to provide better aesthetics. Progressive lenses provide a smooth transition and can accommodate up to three prescriptions and are a replacement for both bifocals and trifocals.

How to Keep Glasses from Slipping
Stick-on Nose Pads
Nose pads would be a good choice to prevent glasses to slide down your nose. Hence, you can stick a pair of rubber pieces in the nose pads of your glasses or you can choose a pair of glasses with rubberized nose pads. If you want to try a pair of nose pads glasses, the Koalaeye Optical may be a good choice. The rubber nose pads will make you feel steadier and better and the additional resistance on the nose pad will surely provide more support. So, if your glasses often slip down from your nose, try this way.
Wax Coating
To keep glasses from slipping, you can try wax coating which is a smart move. Use the wax on your nose pad area along with the temple where the glasses come into contact with the skin. In general, it works fine and it is nearly invisible.
Temple Ear Hook
The temple ear hook is a good way to keep glasses from slipping. It can provide mechanical support behind the ear and you will feel the support from the back of your ears. But the drawback of the temple ear hook is that it is quite visible. When you take off the lenses, you need to lift the temple higher so that the ear hook could clear the ear’s crest. Besides, the cheaper one might cause some discomfort to the back of your ears because of the pressure.
Rubber Bands and Hair Ties
To keep glasses from slipping, you can also try hair ties and rubber bands. You can tie one around the temple tip behind your ear so that it can provide both slight mechanical support and friction forbidding your glasses from moving around. What’s more, this is a low-cost method.
