Is blue light blocking worth it?
There are two main problems with anti-blue glasses currently on the market. One is that the place to be prevented is not preventable, and the other is that people have color casts due to wrong protection and aggravate visual fatigue. Studies have shown that our eyes are the most intolerant of blue light in the 400-440 nanometer band. Therefore, current manufacturers mainly block blue light in this band when producing anti-blue glasses. However, the blue waveband of electronic products is between 450 nanometers and 490 nanometers, so most anti-blue glasses have little protection in this waveband. In addition, the blocking rate of anti-blue glasses is 20%~30% to achieve a good anti-blue light effect, but now the blocking rate of anti-blue glasses on the market has basically reached 80%~90%. All in all, these blocking blue light glasses cannot prevent the blue light in the 450-490 nanometer band, and their high blocking rate will also cause a color shift, which makes people more likely to have eye fatigue and headache.
In daily life, the intensity of blue light is low, not enough to cause damage to the fundus, so ordinary people do not need to wear anti-blue glasses unless they are working in extremely strong light conditions or working in special environments. To protect the eyes, it is more important for people to develop good eye habits. For example, wear a pair of suitable glasses and read insufficient light and at an appropriate distance. Avoid using electronic products for a long time. Take a break for 20 to 30 seconds every 20 to 30 minutes, and look at the distance regularly. If you have dry eyes while reading the electronic screen, remember to blink to 12 times per minute. It is best to wear sunglasses when outdoors.
What effect does a lens with the hard film have?
In order to improve the wear resistance of the lens, it is necessary to coat the surface of the lens with hard film. At present, silicon atoms are used to stiffen the membrane, that is, the stiffening solution containing organic matrix and inorganic superfine particles including silicon element is used to make the hard film have toughness and hardness at the same time. Because the common resin lens is far easier to wear than the glass lens, so the addition of hard film is mainly used for resin lens. It is usually applied to the front surface of the lens, and the anti-wear ability of the resin lens with the film will be enhanced a lot, and the light permeability will be strengthened.
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.

TR90 glasses frame
TR90 is not easy to deform and break, and it can withstand high temperatures and strong impacts. In addition, its material is relatively light, so many young people also like such glasses frames.
Progressive lenses and single vision lenses
An optical lens that has only one luminosity on a single vision lens and does not have special functions.
The curvature of the front surface of the progressive lens increases continuously from top to bottom, and the refractive power increases gradually and continuously from the distance zone located on the upper part of the lens until the near zone at the bottom of the lens reaches the required near-use refractive power. A pair of glasses can be used. You can see far away, you can see close, and you can see objects in the middle distance.
Study On the Night Driving Glasses
Researchers at Harvard's Schepens Eye Research Institute recently conducted a study to find out if wearing night driving glasses while driving at night is good for vision. All 22 participants drove under four conditions that simulated night driving, wearing either yellow night driving glasses or glasses with clear lenses. Each participant drove with or without the headlight glare simulator activated to simulate the effect of oncoming traffic. The study found that wearing glasses while driving at night didn't seem to improve: how well the participants were able to recognize pedestrians at night and negative effects of headlight glare on pedestrian detection. Our data suggest that wearing yellow lenses while driving at night does not improve performance at the most critical task: pedestrian detection, the study's authors said. A small 2019 study showed that night driving glasses can actually slow down visual reflection by a fraction of a second, making night vision worse.
