What are transition lenses?

Transition lenses, a lens with photochromic properties, automatically darken when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light.

How do they work?

A photochromic lens achieves its properties through embedding microcrystalline silver halides (silver chloride), or molecules in a glass substrate, which produces a reversible darkening affect when exposed to UV radiation.  (Thank you, Wikipedia)

In simpler terms, the lenses will darken gradually when exposed to sunlight, becoming gradually darker depending on how bright it is outside. This allows the correct amount of light into the eye to see well, while greatly reducing glare.

What happens if I walk into a bright room indoors?

The darkening effect only takes place when exposed to UV light, which is produced exclusively by the sun. Artificial light does not produce this type of radiation.

What if I am driving?

Windows block most of the UV light, so while you are driving your lenses will not darken much, if at all.

What are the benefits of transition lenses?

If you don’t want to have the worry or hassle of multiple prescription glasses for indoors and outdoors, transition lenses are a good option for you. Unlike sunglasses, transition lenses darken only to the degree required to allow enough light to reach your eye to see well, which is ideal for reducing glare on cloudy days.

Do transition lenses protect your eyes as well as sunglasses?

Yes. Transition lenses block out 100% of the harmful UV rays that over time, can damage your eyesight. Some may argue that they provide even more protection, as you are more likely to be wearing them on bright days when you may not bother with sunglasses.

Transition lenses are made from a variety of materials such as plastic and polycarbonate and available for all prescription types. Visit Eyeglasses123 for details and pricing options from only $99.

“If you cross your eyes too much, they can get stuck that way”

FICTION. Contrary to what your grandmother told you, this is simply not true. If your child has one eye that frequently crosses or wanders, schedule an optometrist appointment as this can be an indication of Strabismus.

______________________________________________________________________________

“Eating carrots can improve your vision”

FACT. Carrots are rich in Vitamin A which is essential for maintaining good vision. They are not alone however, as there are many foods that are rich in this nutrient; try asparagus, tomatoes, broccoli or milk products.

______________________________________________________________________________

“Long days at the computer can result in vision damage”

FACT. 75% of people who use a computer will suffer an eye or vision problem. The most common symptoms are eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision and dry or irritated eyes. If you must be at your computer for long periods, exercise your eyes twice an hour by focusing at something in the distance for 20 seconds, close you eyes for 20 seconds and repeat three times.

______________________________________________________________________________

“Wearing glasses all the time can make your vision worse”

FICTION. At some point in their lives everyone will probably need vision correction. This is due to genetics, environmental factors and aging. Your eyesight does change over time, however wearing glasses does nothing to change your natural vision. It is important to get your eyes checked every year and get your prescription updated to ensure optimal vision.

______________________________________________________________________________

“Reading in the dark will damage your vision”

FICTION. While reading in dim lighting will put strain on your eyes making the feel tired and irritated, it will not result in any long term vision damage.

______________________________________________________________________________

“UV rays can effect your vision, even when it isn’t sunny”

FACT. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can damage your eyesight even on cloudy days. If you find yourself squinting when outside, this is due to glare or UV rays bouncing off of reflective surfaces and you should protect yourself with sunglasses.

______________________________________________________________________________

“Too much sex can make you go blind”

FICTION. Syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection, can result in vision damage and even blindness when left untreated and is the root of this folklore.

When choosing glasses there are many things to consider. Face shape, complexion, lifestyle and personal preferences are all important factors, but one thing many people overlook is the type of prescription that they have.

If you are long sighted (you have greater difficulty seeing objects up close, but can focus long distances) the lenses of your glasses can act like the magnifying glass (think Sherlock Holmes), making your eyes appear much larger, depending on prescription strength.

Consider a thinner type frame to avoid the “coke bottle” effect or even a rimless style. As your prescription not only amplifies the appearance of your eyes but also flaws (wrinkles, age spots) and shadows, opt for a lens diameter not much larger than your eye size.

If you are short sighted (you have difficulty seeing long distances, but up close your vision is clearer) the opposite can occur, your lens can make your eye appear smaller than usual.

With this type of prescription, you may want to choose bolder frames that draw attention to your face. Thicker rims, high temples or  a lens diameter  a bit larger than your natural eye size are all good options.

The most important thing to remember when buying glasses, pick frames that fit your personal style, meet your needs and make you feel great – after all, glasses are jewelry for your face.

In today’s world most of us have hectic lifestyles, but are becoming more aware when it comes to taking a little time for our minds and bodies. We do yoga, moisturize our skin, whiten our teeth – but what about our eyes?

As we age our eyesight begins to fade, but there are many things that we can do to slow down the degenerative process and maintain good eye health.

Abstain

We all know the detrimental health benefits that smoking has on our lungs, but did you know that it doubles the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration? In fact, the likelihood of AMD effecting your eyesight is the same as developing lung cancer if you smoke. Yikes!

Be A Regular

An annual eye exam is imperative to maintain good eye-health, even if you already use glasses. Just like the rest of our bodies our eyesight changes as we age and your prescription can change from visit to visit.

Cover Up!

UV rays can cause a variety of problems for the health of your eyes – year round. Use only authentic sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection and cover up any time you feel the need to squint when outdoors, even when hazy but bright out. Luckily this is one of the easiest and stylish ways to protect your eye health, and with Eyeglasses123 there is no need to break the bank.

Diet

Maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals is vital to allowing our bodies withstand and repair from our daily grind. Vitamins A, B and E are essential to maintaining strong eyesight. Find them in green leafy veggies like spinach or kale, and in fruits such as oranges, kiwis and tomatoes. Supplements do help make up for a lack of these vitamins, but only to a certain extent. It is best to get as many nutrients as you can from organic sources to ensure proper absorption.

Prolonged exposure or even short term, frequent exposure of our eyes to UV rays from the sun can contribute to many chronic eye diseases, many of which are painful and sometimes irreversible.

Cataracts is a very common form of eye degeneration. This occurs when the natural lens on our eye used to focus light becomes clouded thus reducing vision and is a direct result of repeated UV exposure.

For those who work or spend a lot of time outdoors you are at a higher risk to develop pteryguim. This is a growth that usually begins in the corner of the eye and can grow large enough to block out vision completely.

Spending long days at the beach, skiing or on the water? Without proper protection you are at risk of photokeratitis, essentially a sunburnt cornea. Ouch! This can occur in as little as one day in bright sunlight, is very painful and can result in temporary vision loss.

Luckily, preserving your good eye health is easy. Choose authentic sunglasses that provide 100% protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Keep in mind, not all sunglasses are created equal and many “vanity” sunglasses from your mall kiosk or accessory store do not provide adequate, if any, protections from these harmful rays. Be sure to purchase from a reputable retailer and read all the fine print on the item’s packaging.

Kids have perfectly clear corneas and lenses, which let in even more light than adult eyes. Additionally, some studies show that many people will have spent 50% of their outdoor time by the age of 18 – the prime environment for UV rays to damage eyesight. While many parents think a hat is adequate sun protection it does nothing to protect the reflected UV rays from water, snow, pavement and other surfaces that your child comes into contact with everyday. Most manufacturers replicate their most popular designs in kids sizes, so you can find a stylish pair of glasses that are well made, and your child will actually want to wear them.
