Doctor’s advice on size and nose sensitivity of eye glass frames

November 2nd, 2009 by Ray Didia No comments »

Each pair of eye glass frames has a size, for example 48-22-135. Here 48 means the length of the lenses. 22 is the number of the bridge width, and 135 represents the length of the temple of the eye glass frames. One person can fit well on one frame in this set of numbers, while this set of number may not work well on other pairs of eye glass frames, as they may differ in shape and style. Patients better go to optical stores to try on eye glass frames or use the virtual try-on offered by some online retailers.

Some patients may turn to be allergic to the silicone on the nose pads on the eye glass frames. Eye doctor suggests use vinyl nose pad instead. In most of the cases, this nose sensitivity is also related to the uneven pressure allocation. So the adjustments of eye glass frames by some store professionals will be necessary. By adjusting the temples of the eye glass frames, especially by adjusting the ear-hooking part, the pressure of the nose pads on the nose can be reduced, therefore decreasing the possibility of silicone sensitivity for some patients.

How to Buy Sunglasses

November 1st, 2009 by Randa Nahl No comments »

It is generally believed that sunglasses which can keep off sunshine protect eyes. However, things are more complicated than expected. A pair of unqualified sunglasses would hurt your eyes, which is worse than not wearing one. Therefore, more caution is needed when we are going to buy sunglasses.

The first and foremost step when buying sunglasses is to check whether the lenses are smooth or not, for warping ones lead to the deviation of sight line while those mixed with air bubbles make one dizzy. In the meantime, do not buy sunglasses with too thin lenses, because they are inclined to deform in heat.

What comes next when buying sunglasses is to make sure the lens materials applied are capable to cut off UV rays. In fact as we can not discern this function with naked eyes, they only reference is the information—labels reading “100% UV-cut” or “UV400” marked by manufacturers.

Moreover, try not to buy sunglasses that are blue and purple. Because the deeper the color is, the more capable they tend to cut off UV. Therefore, buy sunglasses that are dark grey, chocolate and black should be wise choices.

The last step is to try them on. It’s best to buy sunglass in a sunny day when the light is strong. Walk out the store and look around. If you feel dizzy or uncomfortable, this pair may be unqualified or not suitable to you.

Different people buy different sunglasses for different uses, but the basic principle for buying sunglasses is to choose one that guarantees security and eye protection.

Definition of legal blindness

October 29th, 2009 by Jay Furlong No comments »

Blindness is an important health care issue that exacts both economic and social costs. It is easy to understand that blindness is a vision problem of lacking visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors. Blindness is a kind of vision loss. The most common eye disease causes of blindness including: cataracts, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Besides, abnormalities, injuries, genetic defects and certain chemicals may also lead to blindness.

In order to determine which people may need special assistance because of their visual disabilities, various governmental jurisdictions have formulated complex definitions for legal blindness. In 1934, the American Medical Association (AMA) adopted the following definition of legal blindness: central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with corrective glasses or the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angular distance no greater than 20 degrees in the better eye. And now, blindness is defined according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and North American criteria for the better-seeing eye. The WHO divide vision problems into five levels: moderate low vision, severe low vision, profound vision loss (central visual acuity from 20/500 to 20/1000 or visual field < 10 degrees), near total vision loss, and total vision loss in which clinically recorded is “no light perception”(NLP). The last three levels are defined as blindness. Note that low vision does not meet criteria for a definition of blindness. While North American and most of Europe still uses the previous definition by AMA since 1934.

Blind people with undamaged eyes may still use light in order to keep the 24-hour light and dark cycle.
