Introduction of Bifocals with Typical Designs

April 1st, 2010 by Jean Caster No comments »

Bifocals are some of the most widely used products to deal with several particular eye problems, like astigmatism, presbyopia, myopia, etc. that may occur simultaneously. And now, with the development of technology, great achievements are also gained in the making and design of bifocals. Here are bifocals of different types with personalized designs in the market. This is what Benjamin Franklin, the legal bifocal lenses inventor, has never thought of when he had created them initially.

Generally, bifocal lenses can be catheterized into two major types, namely, conventional bifocal lenses and progressive bifocal lenses. The first type is very old and has helped people a lot in the past years. And the latter sort is the latest invention in the industry. It is bettered on the base of the first type. The Conventional lenses have typical division lines in their middle parts and this has lead to very radical vision changes. And some wearers can not get used to them easily. On the contrary, no such line can be found in progressive lenses. The vision transition in them is very natural and nice, and wearers will not suffer from any dizziness as conventional bifocal lenses may cause. Therefore, progressive bifocals become much better alternatives for many wearers. But there is a predicament- progressive bifocal lenses cost much more than other lenses. This is because the making and manufacturing of those lenses are in need of great accuracy in very meticulous ways. Of course, people of different social stratum can choose the ones they can afford.

From another viewpoint, there are some particular bifocal lenses for spectacles. Some wearers of bifocals have to appear on different occasions. But they have to dress up and behave accordingly, so as to meet the needs. So, they may choose to replace different lenses for the same frame.

The designs of bifocals are aimed at wearers of different age group. For example, there are bifocal glasses children. Those glasses are some of the best alternatives for children if they do not want to worsen their vision. The reason is very simple- those special glasses can help enhance children’s eyesight and prevent any sort of vision deterioration.

Later, designers of bifocals have noticed that many wearers have their eyes burnt if go outdoors often. And they prompted bifocal sunglasses. Those sunglasses have benefited people a lot, especially when they have to walk or work outdoors.

Vision therapy introduction

March 31st, 2010 by Jean Caster No comments »

Also known as visual training or vision training, vision therapy include a wide range of techniques for preventing the development of visual problems, such as strabismic and non-strabismic binocular dysfunctions, visual motor disorder, visual perception disorder etc…Vision therapy is so important because nowadays a large group of people suffer from eye problems and diseases and vision therapy helps them in developing visual abilities and efficiency.

Vision therapy has evolved since centuries ago, though in different terms. The formal concept of vision therapy appeared in the nineteenth century for strabismus treatment, which corresponded to the orthoptics vision therapy today. After the collaboration of eye experts and neuroscientists, vision therapy was expanded into the treatment of other vision problems, including binocular and dysfunction in visual focusing, perception and motor skills.

Vision therapy includes various non-surgical methods and has developed into two common categories: orthoptic vision therapy and behavioral vision therapy. Eye problems suitable for orthoptic vision therapy include strabismus and diplopia. They need the cooperation between orthoptists and ophthalmologists. Behavioral vision therapy is also called non-strabismic visual therapy. Optometrists alone can manage it. People who suffering from eye strain and visual-induced headaches also need behavioral vision therapy. Professional athletes may take behavioral vision therapy to improve their sensitivity to peripheral vision on the field.

In US schools, vision disorders affect one out of four students and cause difficulty in their daily lives, such as school work and sports activities. Vision therapy is effective in treating many acquired and congential vision dysfunctions. Vision Therapy Academy at visiontherapyacademy.com and Vision Therapy Group at visiontherapygroup.com are the professional organizations offering vision therapy information and treatment.
