Prescription eyeglasses help in correcting focus problems like myopia (nearsightedness or short-sightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness or long-sightedness). In addition to these corrective eyeglasses, you may have been prescribed safety or sunglasses to protect your eyes from the very harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Prescription eye glasses may be developed from the following different types of eyeglass frame styles:
-
A full rim frame is very common and comes in different shapes such as circle, oval, rectangle, teardrop etc.
-
The rimless glasses have just the lenses, the nose bridge, the temples, and no other thing. It is the lightest and most expensive amongst all frame styles. At the same time, extra care is required as these are the least durable.
-
The semi-rimless frames cover only half of the lens. A wire is generally used to connect the lens to the temples. These are medium weighted frames.
-
The horn rimmed frames are the traditional frames. These are not as popular as they were a few decades back.
-
The brow bar frames give an aviator look with the double bridge over the nose bridge.
You might have noticed aged people getting bifocal and trifocal lenses developed. It is because their ability to focus has decreased and they wish to cover all aspects of vision. These new prescription multifocal lenses have two to three horizontal viewing areas. Select the desired lens to view from each of these areas by easy refocusing. Hence, it allows for using a single eye glass for each distance or task. You may have the same eye glass while reading/writing, watching television, and using computers.
Again, you may have your corrective lens fit into a wide range of fashionable eyeglass frames available today. Always go to good technicians to get your lens ready as a good quality eye lens will enhance your eye glasses and provide for great comfort and optimum protection.
Get the desired shape and structure of the frame to ensure maximum comfort and ease of use. After all, you have to wear these for the almost the entire day!
