Why is choosing the right lenses so important?
When buying eyeglasses, the frame you choose is important to both your appearance and your comfort when wearing glasses. But the eyeglass lenses you choose influence four factors: appearance, comfort, vision and safety. A common mistake people often make when buying eyeglasses is not spending enough time considering their choices of eyeglass lens materials, designs and coatings.
What are the best kinds of lenses for glasses?
Aspheric lenses offer different degrees of curvature that may be flatter or thinner for using larger portions of its surface. People needing strong prescriptions benefit from high-index plastic lenses that aren’t as thick as traditional plastic lenses.
Photochromic lenses contain materials that react to sunlight by darkening gradually so you don’t need to wear sunglasses when outdoors. However, photochromic lenses don’t always darken inside vehicles because windows block UV rays. If you spend a lot of time driving, you might consider getting a pair of prescription sunglasses to wear while driving.
You can also choose to have your eyeglass lenses enhanced with a lens coating, such as anti-reflective, UV protective or scratch-resistant coatings. Tinted lenses help some people see better in bright light. Yellow tints increase contrast while gray tints reduce glare without altering colours. Although mirror coatings are retro, some people prefer them because they minimize glare slightly and offer a sense of privacy.
