Nylon and nylon-based materials are mainly used in making sports eyeglasses frame which features its strength, durability and lightweight.

How were night goggles invented?

December 16th, 2009 by Richard Schneider No comments »

Night goggles are the optical instruments enabling people to see in the darkness. Before inventing night goggles, people knew that some creatures living and hunting at night can capture more light and see better than human does. People knew these animals have different eye structures, but physiologically scientists could not arm human with the same eye system as animals’, so scientists started to think about electricity.

Electricity is easy to be amplified. When the lenses of night goggles capture the light from vicinity, the electronic system in the night goggles turn the dim light into electronic signals, then amplify the signals to much greater scale, and finally turn the boosted signals into light image. This new clearer image can be seen by the user of night goggles on the small screen of the night goggle.

The principium of changing the dim light entering the lenses of night goggles to electronic signals is pretty similar to the principium of solar panel, but the for former is more precise and more sensitive.

The image we see finally on the night goggles screen is of green color. Actually when the light image is boosted in the night goggle, the colors are in black and white. The green color is intentionally added to the new image as human eyes are more sensitive to the green light, so viewers can see better in green. Also looking at green images makes viewers feel easier for extended long time viewing.

Night goggle is now used in military forces and civilian areas, people finally realized the dream of seeing objects even in the pitch darkness.

How to adjust a pair of rimless eyeglass

December 16th, 2009 by Mark Burns No comments »

Rimless eyeglass is good in look but it also has some drawbacks. One problem that most of the rimless eyeglass users encounter is the loosening of screws on the lenses which join the temple and bridge together. Another headache is the frameless glasses are easily crooked.

When we have all these problems, best way is to ask for help from professional opticians. But if you want to adjust the rimless eyeglass frames yourself, here are some tips.

First, please take the rimless eyewear off the turn it over and let it sit on a table. By sitting the frameless glasses on the flat surface, you will see one higher temple and the other lower. Apply pressures evenly to the temples to make the higher lower and make the lower one higher. Then fasten the screws if they are loosened.

Second, you can only apply moderate pressure on the temples and nose bridge, as rimless eyeglass is the most crispy kind. For rimless eyewear, all the strength and joining depends on the lenses, while lenses are just two pieces of special resin. Too much of force used on the lenses will break the whole rimless eye glasses.

One good suggestion for taking good care of rimless eyeglass is to put thce frameless glasses in a protective case whenever they are not in use. When taking off the rimless eyeglass from face, use two hands. One-handedness is not a good habit which will break and crook the rimless eyewear easily. Always keep in mind frameless glasses require more delicate care than regular frames.
