A Fierce Argument on Adjustable-Focus Glasses: TruFocals Eyeglasses

A new invention in eyeglasses industry the adjustable-focus glasses reported on New York Times draws public attention and causes their great interest & argument.

August 18, 2009 — The report on New York Times published on August 3, 2009 with the title “Making Eyeglasses That Let Wearers Change Focus on the Fly” attracts the eyes of eyeglasses wearers and people involved in eyeglasses industry, and thus igniting a heated debate about its prospect.
According to the NY Times report, the inventor Stephen Kurtin has created a new kind of glasses with a tiny adjustable slider on the bridge of the frame that makes it possible to focus alternately on objects in different distances.
Researches show that people over 40 years old are likely to suffer from presbyopia and in need of progressive eyeglasses. In the United States of America, there are 4000,000 people presbyopia sufferers every year, most of them are middle aged around the age of 35 to 50. Kurtin has spent nearly 20 years to create trifocals eyeglasses, which he believes can free nearly 2,000,000,000 people from multifocal eyeglasses.
While, since the report was released on NY Times, an intense discussion has been sparked.
As to the design, some questioned that the designer has obviously never worn progressive glasses because people don’t decide to focus on something and adjust the slider accordingly in real life. Everyone who wears progressive eyeglasses knows that people are always adjusting the focal points unconsciously.
Still, the glasses lens has three components and seems much thicker and bigger, which goes against the pursuit of most modern people. Most of net citizen show although they are in desire of adjustable-focus lenses, they don’t want heavy, large and round lenses. However, the company’s founders of TruFocal eyeglasses do not think the shape will be an obstacle for its popularity.
When it comes to the popularity, TruFocals glasses are hard to be accepted by all eyeglasses wearers due to its usability, while they may take some market share among office workers who need to look at computer screens and read books, magazines and newspapers as well.
Speak of the price, one of the most important points consumers would take into consideration when they are engaged in shopping, TruFocals glasses show no preponderance. A pair of TruFocals eyeglasses is sold at $895, which is rather expensive than any other eyeglasses. One net citizen shows, thousands of regular prescription glasses in sound quality are available online less than $100; no one will spend so much on a pair of eyeglasses.
It is the general rule that anytime a new thing is born, there is sure some discussions arousing. Newly-emerged things always have to experienced difficulties and setbacks as they grow. Let’s wait expectantly for the prospect of the new invention in eyeglasses industry.

www.glassesshop.com-Eyes and Ears

Noise can do great harm to hearing organs. In worse cases, it can even lead to hearing loss. This fact is known to all. However, do you know that actually eyes also have delicate relationship with ears? When noise affects the hearing organs, our eyes will also be badly influenced through the neural system and thus the eyesight will be weakened.

It is pointed out by recent research that noise can cause eyes in loss in sensitivity of brightness. Some people did an experiment before: when the intensity of noise reached 90 decibels, the sensitivity of brightness in the cells of the retina began to decrease and the time spent on identifying the brightness of different rays also prolonged; when the intensity of noise around reached 95 decibels, the pupils of two fifths of people on the spot would enlarge; when the intensity reached 115 decibels, the adaptability of eyes to the brightness would be down by 20%.

Noise can also decrease the stability in the definition of eyesight. For example, in the environment where the intensity of noise is up to 70 decibels, it will take 20 minutes for the definition of the eyesight return to normal state, while when the intensity come further up to 85 decibels, it’ll need more time of, maybe at least one hour.

Besides, noise can make eyes in failure in reacting to the changeable state of the moving objects. It is discovered by scientific research that noise could activate and restrain the nerve system, so people who work under the condition of noise are likely to get neurosis. For instance, most of the stewards are becoming less and less insensitive to the changeable state of the moving objects.

What’s more, the abnormity in colorful field of vision can be caused by noise. It is shown by recent investigation that, among a group of eighty workers that have a constant contact with the noise, the proportion of people who have visual contraction in red, green, and white field of vision comes up to 80%, increasing by 85% in comparison with the other group without any contact with the noise.

At present, lots of people have found the impact that noise works on eyesight in daily life. In fact, this impact reflected in everywhere. For example, when you are shopping in a quiet and bright shop, you may feel comfortable and select calmly all of what you want. But when you are brought to a shop full of loud and noisy pop music, you would become uneasy and dazed, and thus what you need forget to buy but those you have bought are also not exactly what you really want. The main cause of the different effect in different environments is that the noise has an impact on eyesight.

Computer Users, Please Pay Attention

Computer Users, Please Pay Attention

Nowadays, millions and millions of people are spending most of their working time before the computer screens every day. And most of them report vision problems as a result of their long time computer use.

As an office worker, do you have symptoms like dry and irritated eyes, difficulty in focusing, headaches, neck strain and so on? If you do have some of these above symptoms, there is obviously no doubt that you are among the millions of sufferers by computer using.

Most importantly, you need to know how the computer you’re using can do harm to your eyes. Physically, our eyes were not made to look at a computer screen. The screen we are viewing right now is actually made up of thousands of pixels. Our eyes cannot focus directly on each of these pixels. Instead, we have to focus over and over to keep the images sharp—the cause of the strain and tension in the eyes.

Instead of quitting our job, what else can we do, at least to compensate? Here are some advices: Firstly, try to reset your monitor which should be squarely in front of you at a distance of about 30 inches, with the top of the monitor level with your eyes. You may also have to adjust the angle of your monitor to allow your eyes to remain in a natural position, that is, straight ahead and slightly down. What’s more, you should also pay attention to the light in your office. Modifying the lighting will eliminate glare and harsh reflections. Adjust shutters or curtains to minimize the strong sunlight. Turn down overhead lights so that the brightness of the screen and the surrounding room are balanced. At the same time, never forget to take a break after staring at computer for a while. Every time you are performing close vision work for over 30 consecutive minutes, look up and focus on anything that is at least 10 feet away, for at least 1 minute.

The above 3 simple approaches can help prevent the damaging effects of the near-point stress caused by working in front of the computer for a long time and could even save your eyesight!

How to Choose the Color for Your Room

How to Choose the Color for Your Room

In old days, people tend to decorate their house simply and cheaply, mostly with the color white, which can make our room look much larger and brighter. However, in the modern world which emphasizes individual development, people now tend to choose more kinds of colors to make their rooms unique and fashionable.

However, some expert room designers have pointed out that customers should think from different aspects when choosing the colors for their rooms. The beauty of the room may be very important when we plan to decorate our room, but we should also pay attention to the function and structure of the room when we choose the colors for it.

Most of us may ignore the importance of color choosing when they are decorating their room, that is to say, we tend to choose our favorite colors for our room, while we are unaware of the feelings the color may bring to us, which can do harm to our health, especially to our eyes. Then how can we choose better colors for our rooms? Here are some tips.

First of all, whether choosing the cold color or the warm color is dependent on the lighting. Rooms facing east and north had better choose the light warm color, for the duration of the sunshine are shorter there. While rooms facing south can choose neutral and light cold colors, which can make us comfortable. And the rooms facing east, which is most affected by the setting sun, can choose deep cold colors.

In addition, rooms which have different functions had better be separated by different colors. The living room should choose some lively colors so as to enlarge their areas. The color of the kitchen shouldn’t be too deep in order to appear clean and tidy. The bedrooms can be decorated according to the owner’s appetite, but pay attention that the color for the children’s room should not be too strong, for it may cause stimulation to children’s eyes and it will have a bad effect on the development of their eyesight. The bedroom color for the old should also pick some light colors, which can improve the quality of their sleep.

Last but not least, there should be more than three colors in a room in order to prevent vision pollution, which can cause stimulation to people’s optic nerves, resulting in overexcitement and poor sleep quality.

Many Factors Causing Low Vision

plastic glasses

According to visual function, vision can be divided into light vision, color vision, depth vision and form vision. Vision that we usually call is form vision. Normal people’ vision is 1.0. However, people who are with 1.5 to 2.0 also exist. In sunny days, they can see trees and buildings clearly about 1.6 kilometers away. It was reported that there was a German woman, who could see people in the distance of 1.6 kilometers. Perhaps, her vision was 20 times higher than normal people.

Gledes fly in the height of 3000 meters, but they can see clearly about chicks on the ground. This mainly relates to lots of selenium in the retinas of gledes. In resent years, scientists found that when short of selenium, people may get cataract. Food with a lot of selenium includes pluck, fish, shrimp, kelp，mushroom, edible tree fungus and meat。

There are also plenty of people with low vision. Apart from the reason that eye diseases cause low vision, there are also many other reasons. Some people calculate that with the speed of more than 70 kilometers, vision of drivers may decrease from 1.5 to 0.7. The solution is that the more speed is, the less distance drivers can see clearly. In addition, listening music in car can help people feel relaxed. But when the noise is more than 95 db, the combination of music and car engine has a bad effect on people’s vision. So experts suggest that it is safe for drivers to keep stereo sound lower than that of car engine at night.

It is proved that people working in circumstances with intensive noise will easily get harm in their vision. The noise of 90 db can decrease the sensitivity of eyes. And when the noise is 115 db, the harm is much more. This is because noise affects hearing organs as well as visual organs so that the functions cannot be operated well.

Optical experts discovered that the disharmony between family members, for example, parents’ mistreatment to children and usual quarrels between parents, have bad influences on little children. Besides, smoking is another reason for low vision. If you smoke usually and heavily, that may result in toxic optical pathological changes and the lost vision is hard to recover.

In sum, there are many reasons for low vision besides eye diseases.

Take Good Care of Your Eyeglasses

Generally speaking, when maintaining eyeglasses, wearers often pay much attention to maintain the lens, and ignore the cleaning of frames. In fact, the frame is as important as the lens. Once, there are spots, dusts, smudges… on the surface of lens, we can not have a clear visual sense from the lens. This is true of the frame. For example, if the frame is loose, the focus of the lens can not level at the pupil, so then make the eye burden more seriously and eyeglasses can not play the role of correcting vision. Hence, wearers should take a good care for frame when maintaining plastic glasses.

At the bellowing, there are several tips for caring frame.

1. Use both hands to take eyeglasses off, instead of one. Generally, wearers are accustomed to take off their eyeglasses with one hand. Yet, this is a wrong habit. Because take them off with one hand can result in stretching frame out and making frame loose. So then the loose frame can influence the effect of vision correction and easily cause the eye fatigue. However, use both hands to grip the temples and push gently over ears can keep the earpieces straight and in the right alignment.

2. Don’t put your eyeglasses on the top of your head. This is a common phenomenon. Most of people like to put their eyeglasses over their head for fashion, cool, beauty… However, they ignore the fact that this behavior can distort the shape of the frame, and make it is much easier to fall down the frame and damage it. Hence, for the sake of our money, I think that no one like to replace a pair of new and costly eyeglasses just because of this small reason.

3. Wisely use the free glasses accessories, especially the screw driver. Generally, almost each pair of eyeglasses comes along with a hard case、cleaning cloth、and a screw driver. For the hard case, besides the function of protecting lens from getting scratched, it also can prevent frame from being pressed and distorted even being corroded by chemical substances. For the screw driver, it is a quite important and indispensable tool to maintain frame. When the screws which hold the frame arms on come loose that make frame unable to hang on the ears, wearers themselves can use the screw driver to tighten them. Do not need to go to the distance optical stores to repair plastic eyewear which waste both time and money. Hence, begin to give a wise and full use of the free glasses accessories.

4. Like lens, frame also need to occasionally clean. Generally, wearers can wash the frame with soap and warm water or cleaner and then gently rub all parts of the frame. Clean the entire frame thoroughly to remove skin oils that can damage its coating.

All above mentioned tips is for you to keep your eyeglasses healthy and safe, and make it suitable to your eyes, so then protect your eyes from a further injure.

How to Protect Your Resin Lenses

Resin lenses are one of the lenses which are popular among people. They are widely used in making the prescription glasses.

After the resin coating has put on the surface, you can see things more clearly and their function of protecting the eyes will be greatly improved since the ultraviolet radiation can be blocked. However, you should pay enough attention to the work of maintenance, so that the lenses’ surface will not have corrosion layer by abrasion. If you do not care about the lenses, they will gradually reduce the resolution function and affect the effect of unisex eyewear Therefore, special attention should be noted.

A coating resin lenses should be away from high temperature and avoid contact with erosion such as the acid fumes. In daily life, it is better not to wear the plastic eyewear with resin lenses in the kitchen especially when the kitchen has the poorly ventilated fumes. At the same time, it is better not to wear them when you are in the shower. When you do not wear them, you have to ensure the convex side of the resin lenses are usually placed upward and should be carried in the glasses hard box. Not put those in any pocket or bag, or else the film will be easily brought to abrasions.

Second, the resin coating films are more prone to get dirt, and not easy to wipe. If you wipe the dirt by the general cleaning cloth, it will often scar the surface of the lenses since they are harder than the fiber. The simplest method is to wash the lenses by the running cold water. Your hand hold the edge of the frame beams, then you can use the other hand’s thumb and index finger to get some alkaline soap or detergent to clean the lenses. Paste alkaline soap or detergent on both sides of the resin lenses and rubbing lightly to wash. Afterwards, you can wash away the foam with clean water. Finally, you can use cotton towel or paper caps net to absorb extra water. They should be rubbed gently or these will injury the lenses. In this way the lenses can be very easily to wash clean and in a safe way. In a common situation when it is not convenient to wash the lenses with certain soap, you can just wipe them with clean and tender cloth.

If you protect your glasses carefully, it means that you are protecting your eyes carefully. Thus, I hope these advice will do you well for you resin glasses and for your eyes.

Ugly Betty’s eyeglasses

I think that people who are fond of American soap operas must know Ugly Betty. This warm-hearted, good and illumined, but actually owing mouthful tooth band and ugly rustic girl Betty after having thrown into the fashionable clothing company full of beautiful women, has fallen in love with the handsome and rich boss. During the days in the company, Betty has initiated a series of farces and the laughingstock. Ugly Betty once was broadcast hotly in 35 countries in the North and South America. The 50% above high viewing ratio not only started the huge reception of TV upsurge but also lead a batch of entertainment related industry selling well. Anna Austria Roscoe who acts Betty is willing to smear herself in order to play Betty well becomes very famous due to Ugly Betty and has won a lot of prizes.

But do you ever notice the eyeglasses with big and black frame which are wore by Betty? Under the contrast of this pair of eyeglasses, Betty appears very stereotypical and does not have a young girl’s vigor, just like an old lady. The extremely fat stature and this pair of glasses with vice-big black frame help Anna Austria Roscoe to present this ugly girl perfectly. I must say that without the help of the eyeglasses, it is impossible for her to act Betty so successfully.

In the recent years, eyeglasses are put into application in the movie and soap operas widely day by day. The eyeglasses with big and black frame seem to have become a necessary stage prop when people want to create a typical character of an ugly girl. Because after putting on this kind of eyeglasses people can appear silly, pure and simple. Therefore the directors also make fully use of the effect of this kind of eyeglasses, helping them to deduct each kind of character well.

As a matter of fact, different eyeglasses with different styles can have different effects when people deduct different kinds of characters. Choosing the right eyeglasses as stage prop is becoming more and more necessary in films and soap operas. A successful film or a soap opera need right stage prop necessarily.
