Q: What are polarized sunglasses?
Polarization is a contrast enhancement technique that can reduce back reflections and bring out features not readily visible with normal viewing.
POLARIZED LENSES eliminate glare. Any surface can create glare in sunlight, including water, sand, snow, buildings, windows and vehicles. They are recommended for driving in daylight, rainy days, and at night. They in fact can reduce the glare that comes off a long, flat surface such as the hood of a car on the highway. They are the top recommendation for hunters, boaters and fishermen, golfers, drivers, bikers and joggers, just to name a few. For these activities they offer a clearer view by eliminating the glare. POLARIZED LENSES can also be used indoors by those persons with light-sensitive eyes or those exposed to bright light through windows or while on the computer.
POLARIZATION eases eye stress and fatigue from bright light and comes in several colors and density options. The brown or copper lenses increase the contrast between colors and are the preferred tint for driving. This contrast sharpens the imagery. This lens color is also very good for golfers, and when used on rainy days. The gray, smoke or green lenses are the most popular because not only do they cut the bright light but they also help keep the colors appearing the most natural and true.
Q: What are Reflection Free coatings?
Reflection Free Coating reduces both internal and external reflections on lenses creating a nicer cosmetic appearance. Internal reflections appear as rings that make lenses look thick. External reflections mask your eyes from a clear, complete view when someone is looking at you. So with a Reflection Free coating, eyeglass lenses appear thin or non-existent, and your eyes look more natural.
A Reflection Free coating on your glasses can also be beneficial if you spend a great deal of time on the computer. Working on a computer for an extended period of time can lead to eye strain, as your eye muscles struggle to view specific areas of the monitor and battle the glare. Typical symptoms of eyestrain while working on the computer include blurry vision, dry eyes, and irritation. Reflection Free coating can reduce eyestrain and make it possible to work on the computer for longer periods of time without difficulty
A Reflection Free coating can also be beneficial when driving at night. Often, individuals who wear glasses or contacts experience a halo effect around headlights and streetlights when driving in the dark. An anti-reflective coating eliminates this effect and can make night driving less of a distraction.
Q: What are Scratch Resistant coatings?
No eyeglass lens material is scratch-proof. However, a lens that is treated front and back with a clear, hard coating does become more resistant to scratching, whether it's from dropping your glasses on the floor or occasionally cleaning them with a paper towel.Since a scratch-resistant coating can't completely protect your lenses from wear and tear, keep your glasses in a case, and clean them with a microfiber cloth and the cleaning solution.
Q: What are Transition Lenses?
Transitions lenses are lenses that change from clear to dark in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, such as when exposed to sunlight. Indoors and at night, Transitions lenses are as clear as regular clear lenses. Outdoors, when exposed to the sun's UV rays, they turn sunglass dark, enhancing the quality of vision by reducing glare thereby minimizing eye strain and fatigue, and improving contrast in all light conditions. And it's all automatic. Because the lens must be exposed to the UV rays they are not the best solution for driving as the windshield of the vehicle will block a lot of the UV rays from getting to the lens. In this situation a Polarized lens is the best option.
Q: When should I consider reading glasses?
When you reach the point of not being able to read up close without stretching your arms to the limit, you may need to consider single-vision reading glasses. One drawback to purchasing ready-made ("drugstore") reading glasses is that they are essentially "one-size-fits-all" items. The prescription is the same in both lenses, and the location of the optical center of the lenses is not customized for each wearer. Most people do not have exactly the same prescription in both eyes, and almost everyone has at least a small amount of astigmatism correction in their prescriptions. Headaches, eyestrain, and even nausea can result from wearing reading glasses that are too far off from your actual prescription or that have optical centers too far away from the center of your pupils.
Invisible Bifocals - often referred to as progressive lenses or no-line bifocals. We have superior invisible bifocals that will enhance your vision.
Q: What is the best way to clean lenses?
- Spray both sides of lenses with Vogue Optical Anti Reflective lens cleaner.
- Rub gently between fingers to loosen any debris.
- Wipe dry with a soft cloth
- Use polishing cloth to remove finger prints or smudges
