How to Choose the Right eyeglasses For Your Eyes

For people with strong prescription and problems such as farsighted eye magnification and nearsighted eye minification, aspheric lenses are the right choice, as they are flatter and thinner in appearance.

Multifocal lenses are recommended depending on your life style, age and your vision need. They can be bifocal or trifocal. Mostly adults after the age of 40 need these but many young adults and children are prescribed these if they feel strain while reading or have a focusing issues.

Anti-reflective lenses are a great choice. Firstly it helps in getting rid of the mirror effect. They are coated with metal oxides which help in eliminating ghosting and eye strain caused by reflection and glare. Few of the options to consider in these lenses are scratch resistant coating, anti-fog and UV lens treatments.

People who want to avoid glare when they step out in the sun opt for polarized lenses. Glare occurs when light is reflected from the surface and is generally horizontally polarized. These lenses have vertical oriented polarizer resulting in no glare.

Tinted lenses can only reduce the effects of brightness. They do not eliminate glare and if they have no UV protection they can cause more damage to the eye than not wearing glasses at all.

A person belonging to any age group can need high definition lenses. Whether you one can be checked with Z-View aberrometer. You need these lenses if you feel even after having 6/6 vision after wearing your glasses you still feel some issues with focusing.

You must have heard the phrase killing two birds with one bullet. The Photochromic Lenses do exactly that. They are clear in doors and when you step outside in the sun they become dark converting into sunglasses. This is a great as you don't have to change your eyewear every time you step into the sun. One pair will work all day long.



Lenses that work great with kids are Polycarbonate Lenses. They are specially designed for people having an active lifestyle. They are lighter in weight than plastic lenses about forty percent thinner and are impact resistant. They have built in UV protection and added advantage something to consider before ordering your next pair.

Lastly are the Progressive Addition Lenses having the same function as the multifocal lenses but have no lines in the lens.

These are the main types of lenses available in the market. Make sure you know the benefits of each before you order one eyeglasses  for yourself. Good luck with finding the perfect pair.
