Technology has had a major impact in just about every essential product, including eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses. Chief among these is that you can now purchase them on the internet, which adds to your convenience.
Here are 3 tech advancements that improve glasses in life-changing ways.
Eye-Friendly Glasses
Today’s glasses are not only for making you see better, but also for protecting your vision and health for the long term.
Features such as blue light filters and similar coatings reduce eye strain so people won’t experience discomfort even if they wear their glasses for extended periods of time. Currently, there are ‘computer glasses’ or gaming-related eyewear that reduce glare from light sources and computer screens, and you can buy them separately or as an added coating to your prescription lenses.
Omnifocal Lenses
Omnifocal lenses are remarkable advancements as they automatically adjust the optical power of a glass that has it. They’re considered the natural evolution of multi-focal lenses, or glasses that have prescriptions at the lower part.
These lenses can change prescription via a low-power electrical current when the user needs assistance. With it, multifocal lenses are no longer required and are more intuitive to use. Automatic corrective lenses may sound futuristic, but they’re here and are available to those who need them.
High Performance Lenses
Glass wearers can also opt for high performance lenses so they could have an improved quality of life. High performance lenses tailor to its wearer and are customized to provide 24/7 protection against bad light forms and prevent early cataract conditions.
You’d normally see them in major sporting events, such as rally driving, tennis and golf where filtering out the sun’s glare, UV light and harmful spectrum is important. It’s more expensive when you add them in but it’s usually worth the cost, especially if safety and preserving your natural vision is a must.
