Reading Glasses are not Exclusive to the Old People

March 2nd, 2011 by Paul Benjamin No comments »

“Oh my god! I cannot see the books clearly! What’s wrong with my eyes?” screamed by my aunt. All of us were shocked by her cry while we were watching TV at the living room. At the beginning, we all deemed that she had suffered from some kind of eye disease and never thought she had got presbyopia because my aunt was only 38. Fortunately, one of my uncles living in another city was a doctor. We gave him a call and told him my aunt’s symptoms immediately. Finally, we confirmed that my aunt had indeed suffered from presbyopia and we intended to buy her a pair of prescribed reading glasses.
In fact, my aunt couldn’t accept the truth that she had got presbyopia at such a young age since we often associated the reading glasses with old people. My aunt didn’t want to be regarded as old, so she refused to wear prescribed reading glasses and warned us if one of us dared to buy such unpleasant thing for her she would take him/her as her enemy. However, it was not absolutely true that only the old people might suffer from presbyopia. Actually, presbyopia was related to the individual’s refraction and job nature. For this reason, one could get presbyopia even if he/she was under the age of 40.
After a very long time of persuasion and explanation, my aunt was convinced to buy a pair of prescribed reading glasses eventually. There were two reasons for why she made this decision: 1. She really needed a pair of reading glasses to see the books or other near objects clearly; 2. She would no longer worry about being regarded as an old woman.

Therefore, don’t hesitate to buy yourself a pair of prescribed reading glasses to get a clear vision if you have suffered from presbyopia, no matter how young you are. And never think that the reading glasses are exclusive to the old people.

Don’t Let Vision Problems Deprive Your Right to Wear Sunglasses

March 1st, 2011 by Stephen Simon No comments »

Summer is approaching, and most of the people would like to wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from the strong sunlight and UV ray. But for people who have suffered from nearsightedness or astigmatism, the common sunglasses cannot meet their needs. In such occasion, there are several ways to solve this problem, such as the combination of contact lenses and common sunglasses, using photochromic eyeglasses, matching prescription sunglasses and wearing clip on sun glasses. Here I want to discuss the fourth method.

Clip on sunglasses refer to the prescription eyeglasses that are attached with plain sunglasses by clamping or with magnets. These sunglasses are inexpensive and convenient to assemble and disassemble as well as use. But they are heavy in weight and may press the nose bridge and check. More over, they will affect your beautiful appearance. So if you are a person who pays great attention to look, clip on sunglasses may not be your best choice.

As for how to choose clip on sunglasses, there are three aspects you should concern, namely the anti-UV function, the lens color and the lens quality. First, the anti-UV function of the sunglasses has nothing to do with its lens color. On the contrary, your eyes will be damaged if you choose the dark colored sunglasses clip ons that are with bad anti-UV function. Second, it is better to select grey and brown sunglasses lenses as they have the best visual clarity and the optimum anti-UV functions. Last but not the least, if there is movement of the object in front of the lens when you shake it, this means the lens has a bad optical quality. You will feel swollen in the eyes or dizzy if you wear such sunglasses.

Finally, I want to mention that don’t wear clip on sun glasses of which the color is too dark if you are a driver because the dark color will prolong the response time of the driver to the emergency by 100ms, consequently the traffic accidents will be more likely to happen.

Tortoise Eyeglasses Are Really Luxuries

February 28th, 2011 by Cliff Krause No comments »

Yesterday, I saw a piece of sales information about an old pair of tortoise crystal eyeglasses on the internet. I was shocked by the price that was $8,000. I had never heard that a pair of eyeglasses could be sold at such a high price, so I searched some information about tortoise eyeglasses to check why they could be so expensive.

After searching, I have come to know that tortoise is a kind of international protected species whose carapaces can be used for making exquisite decorations. Tortoise lives in the deep sea, hunting the inhabited islands of South Pacific Ocean. Its carapace is smooth and with unique luster. For the tortoise eyeglasses made by hand, most of which the colors are closed to amber; moreover, they are warm, exquisite, luxurious and elegant. For this reason, the eyeglasses frames made from tortoise carapace are quite expensive and worth collecting.

In addition, our ancestors deemed that if someone wore a pair of eyeglasses consisting of the lenses that were grinded from natural crystal and the frame made from tortoise carapace, he would have a cool feeling and his eyes could be protected in this way. Nowadays, a pair of tortoise eyeglasses of the Ming and Qing dynasties is priced at approximate $13,000; even a pair of processed tortoise eyeglasses can be sold at $3,000~$4,000. They are luxuries through and through.

Here I want to mention that if you see a pair of tortoise eye glasses being sold at several hundred dollars or even less, don’t expect it is true. Such eyeglasses are only knock offs or fakes. So if you want to buy authentic tortoise eyeglasses, you must check the price first.

An Interesting Eyeglasses Deal

February 27th, 2011 by Richard Schneider No comments »

I was attracted by a piece of interesting news when I was surfing the internet today. It said there were several men peddling clairvoyant glasses to the passerby on the street, with billboards in their hands. After knowing this, a journalist intended to counsel with the peddlers about the clairvoyant glasses as a buyer.

When the journalist asked one of the peddlers why he sold such high-tech eyeglasses on the street the peddler answered, “Clairvoyant glasses are banning products, so any deals related to them can only be done by telephone instead of at the counters.” The journalist was very surprised since he had never heard such interesting eyeglasses deals. Afterwards, the peddler called the seller and agreed to examine the goods at a digital mall. The appearance of the clairvoyant glasses brought by the seller was similar to the common sunglasses. After trying it on, the journalist found that it had the same visual effect with the ordinary sunshades. The seller explained immediately, “It will not work unless you spray such special potion.”

However, when the journalist required the seller to spray the potion on the glasses to check if it really worked, he was told that he must buy the eyeglasses by paying $1,200 before trying the potion. The journalist was not satisfied and about to leave. The seller told him there was another kind of infrared clairvoyant camera which could penetrate the clothes of the women, so as to photograph their bodies surreptitiously. But the price of such cameras was more than $10,000.

The experts indicate that the wave length of the infrared light is longer than that of the visible light, therefore, by using the infrared light filtering device, the clothes will become translucent and the body will seem to be naked. But it is illegal to do this. The clairvoyant glasses sold by the peddlers are not supported by any scientific evidence; hence the so-called clairvoyant glasses are all deceptious.

Yinchuan Ferrets out Knock off RayBan Eyeglasses

February 25th, 2011 by Brian Wallace No comments »

Just because of the difference of two letters, it is difficult for the customers to distinguish a pair of knock off RayBan eyeglasses. On September 16th, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau Suboffice of Xingqing in Yinchuan City ferreted out more than 900 pairs of RayBan knock off eyeglasses according to the report.

In early September, the Zhenguan Intellectual Property Agency Ltd. complains to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of Yinchuan that knock off Rayban eyeglasses with high simulation degrees are found in Yinchuan’s market. Each pair of these knock off eyeglasses is sold at 200~300 Yuan, however the authentic RayBan glasses are priced at 900~3,000 for each.

Yesterday, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau Suboffice of Xingqing in Yinchuan ferreted out a large amount of RayBan eyeglasses counterfeits at the East Xinhua Street, North Yuhuangge Street, South Gulou Street, Yinchuan Mall, etc. These glasses are almost the same with the authentic if judged from their appearances and the only difference is that the letters on the trademark of the counterfeit are “Rag・Bau” which are quite similar with that of the Ray.Ban eyeglasses manufactured by Italy Luxottica Group. This is a suspect of infringing the Italy company’s exclusive right to use trademark.

According to the investigation of the law enforcement officers, the knock off Ray.Ban eyeglasses that have been ferreted out are produced by Hongyun Eyeglasses Factory of Linhai in Zhejiang Province and the labels are sticked by the distributor itself. The law enforcement officers have withheld these knock off eyeglasses. At present, the case is under further investigation.

Be Cautious When Doing Business

February 24th, 2011 by Randa Fritch No comments »

Duqiao located in Zhejiang province is famous for producing eyeglasses, so there are numerous eyeglasses factories. At the beginning of the last year, a man who called himself “boss” placed a big order in an eyeglasses factory in Duqiao. The manufacturer was very glad and delivered his goods priced 400,000 Yuan on time.

However, when it was the time for paying, the “boss” delayed again and again. Then the eyeglasses manufacturer recognized that he was cheated. So he reported it to the police immediately. At the same time, the “boss” placed an order of more than 800,000 Yuan at another eyeglasses factory in Duqiao in the name of the “boss” of a business corporation. But he was arrested by the police finally.

Through further investigation, the police find that this man is from Hubei province and is not a boss at all. He has just been an employee in an eyeglasses factory and familiar with the eyeglasses industry. Therefore, when talking about eyeglasses he can speak out freely and convince his partner that he is indeed capable of doing this business successfully. That’s why he can cheat the partner unconsciously.

Here, I want to remind all business owners to be cautious if you are encountered with such a thing, especially about placing an order. It is important to know more information about your partner. In fact, after knowing the details, you will find that there are some suspicions. If you are careful enough, I don’t think you will be cheated so easily.

Are Magnetic Eyeglasses Frames Harmful to Our Health?

February 23rd, 2011 by Andrew Rabinowitz No comments »

In order to meet the demands of the people who have suffered from vision problems but want to wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from the harmful rays of the sun as well, the eyewear manufacturers have produced magnetic clip-on sunglasses. This kind of sunglasses is made of two parts, namely a pair of common prescription glasses and two clip ons which are secured on the frame with magnets. With these sunglasses, the people with vision problems will no longer need to take two pairs of glasses, one is for vision correction and another is for eye protection, at all times.

Even with this great convenience, some people will doubt whether the magnet embedded in the sunglasses is harmful to our health. In my opinion, magneto therapy apparatus, cellular radiation, radiation inducing variation and sunlight all influence the organisms via electromagnetic wave, so if there is electromagnetic wave, there must be certain effect. As for whether the effect is positive or negative, I am not sure. From the perspective of variation, there are beneficial and harmful variations. Therefore, it is uncertain that the interference of the electromagnetic wave is going to induce cancer cells or arouse the potential.

When it comes to the magnetic eyeglasses frame, I suggest you use it when necessary. Just like the foods we have every day, they include nutrition and unnecessary elements. The later will become toxin if a large amount of them are accumulated, but a majority of them are excreted from the body. For this reason, if you love such sunglasses frame, just go and purchase it. However, if you worry about that it will do harm to your health, you are not suggested to buy it as any mutagens have both positive and negative effects.

Consequently, we cannot say the magnetic eyeglasses are harmful to our health surely, they just have some effects to our health. As for whether the effect is good or bad, god knows.

My Experience of Buying Discount Eyeglasses Online

February 22nd, 2011 by Angela Garrana No comments »

I always like to keep up with the fashion trend. And I’m the first person to try shopping online in my families and friends. At first, I planned to buy clothes at online shops, they persuaded me not to buy things from there. They worried about that I would be cheated by the online retailers. Finally, when they saw my ordered clothes were high-qualified, they began to buy some daily necessaries from the online shops one by one. It seems that they have enjoyed the benefits.

Nowadays, I also begin to purchase eyeglasses online. I have worn eyeglasses for many years because of my near-sightedness. At early time, I like to walk into the optical stores to try on eyeglasses. After having a comprehensive eye exam, I can get accurate prescription. And then with the help of optometrist, I will pick out glasses depending on my face shape, skin tone and personality. All the people in the local optical stores are friendly. And the relaxed air makes me feel comfortable.

One time, I took a fancy to a pair of designer glasses in the local eyeglasses market. However, its high price made me stupefied. Oh, my god. It really will cost my one-month salary. I would pinch and save in the next days if I bought it. So, I decided to have a look at from the Internet. To my surprise, I really found the same one as my beloved one. However, they are much cheaper. As I liked it very much, I bought them without hesitation after telling prescription. About four days later, I received my glasses. To my delight, they didn’t let me down. My friends said that these glasses looked good on me.

I dare say that I have rich experiences in shopping online. And most online optical stores offer discount eyeglasses. But you should make comparison between different shops and pay close attention to the feedback from the former customers.
