When selecting reading glasses and reading sunglasses, it is important to take into consideration your face shape.

Flattering reading glasses for a triangular face

You friends may have teased you about the triangular singularity of your face. If you are not savvy to the names of such frames, all you need to remember is to choose reading glasses that will add width to the upper part of your face.

Stylish reading glasses that soften a square face

Your face has a square shape. It is a formidable and powerful face. For a man, a square face conveys undeniable strength, such as the face of Bruce Willis. The reader glasses that will soften the square face are those with round frames. For a really chic look, opt for designer reading glasses whose left and right edges flow past the shape of the face. Your best reading glasses should also have a distinct bridge between the eyes.

Keeping the proportions of an oval face with reading glasses

An oval face’s cheekbones are high, while the chin is slightly narrower than the forehead, and the jaws are soft. For the oval face, the best reading glasses show off the simplicity of such balance.

Reading glasses balance an oblong face

The oblong shape has been the culprit for creating the impression of sadness on a face. The long face is conventionally associated with the sad face. To ensure that the right reading glasses complement such a face, you need to stick to three basic types. These are the low-triangle frames, the round frames, and the semi-rimless frames. These types of reader glasses add width to the face.

Stylish reading glasses that add sparkle to diamond faces

The reason for the difference is the diamond shape of your face. Among your friends and family, you are the only one with such a face shape. Designer reading glasses will look great on you, especially when the design is dominant along the brow lines.

Lovely glasses for heart-shaped faces

Lastly, you may have been blessed with a heart-shaped face. The safest choice for the heart-shaped face is a pair with rimless frames. If you prefer to wear frames, you can explore designer reading glasses with frames that are wider at the bottom.

Reading Glasses 1.25…Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Why You Need Reading Glasses

Posted by : readingeyeglasses | On : April 11, 2012

Reading glasses 1.25 diopter strengths are bare essential wardrobe accessories once you reach the age of 40.

Then our choices expand to include bifocal glasses. If we are sun worshippers we may need to invest in a pair of bifocal sunglasses. And for convenience, folding glasses that are small and easily carried creep into our wardrobe. The choices of colors, styles and availability where we need them become important throughout the day.

What I mean by that is that the eyes begin to deteriorate for most people around this age. This condition is known as diopters, a well known term in the optical world. For example, 1 diopter is defined as the optical power of a lens with a focal length of 1 meter (about 39 inches). Since the formula is founded on the reciprocal of the focal length, this means that a 2 diopter lens equals 1/2 meter, a 3 diopter lens equals 1/3 meter and so on. This is significant because magnification increases as the focal length gets shorter. When you need more magnification, your optometrist recommends a higher diopter correction lens or you’ll need to increase the diopters of your bifocal glasses.

40 diopters is the standard for the human eye. Over time, once we reach the age of about 25, the normal human eye is reduced to about 10 diopters. At 50 years of age it’s a meager 1 diopter. The capacity for adjustment once the eye’s diopter gets smaller is called presbyopia. And that is why we need reading glasses as we get older.

Reading glasses make up for the loss caused by this natural adjustment. Optical power is additive so the correction is straightforward. If you were to visit your optometrist they’d diagnose this loss and prescribes lenses to amplify the eyes power. They usually start in quarter-diopter steps in the range of 1 to 3 diopters.

Usually a quarter-diopter is a big enough step for most people. That’s why most people can figure out the strength of their glasses readers, folding glasses that are easy to carry, or bifocal sunglasses simply by trying on various reading glasses at the local drug store. The eye care industry categorizes reading glasses lenses in diopter strengths that increase by a factor of .25 (e.g., +.75; +1.00: +1.25; +1.50; +1.75; +2.00; +2.25; +2.50; +2.75; +3.00 etc.). So trial and error works well when you need to choose a set of reading glasses.

However, presbyopia sometimes makes it difficult to select the correct bifocal glasses. If each eye is different, for example, you may need a +1.75 for the right eye and a+2.00 for the left eye; you can balance this out by selecting the higher strength. This is your only option if you choose to buy one-size fits all, which are most common at the drug store.

Presbyopia is the medical term for a condition that mimics farsightedness, so you may need to increase the strength of magnification in your reading glasses every year or two. It’s a universal condition, and no refractive surgical procedures are available to correct it.

This condition also fluctuates based on your lifestyle and else is going on in the body. That’s why it’s not uncommon for people to have multiple sets of reading glasses, bifocal sunglasses and folding glasses with different diopter strengths.

You don’t need a prescription to purchase reading glasses. They are intended as an aid to help you see better at close distances. They are not intended as a replacement for prescribed corrective lenses. Aside from the trial and error method, at some point you should consider getting a professional eye exam from your optometrist.

Alternative Method for Making 3D Glasses

Making3DGlasses

This is a good method to use when looking to make a pair of 3D glasses that will feel a bit more comfortable than poster board or paper. Find a pair of comfortable sunglasses that nobody wants to use anymore. Plastic ones tend to be the best choice for this project since the lenses are pretty easy to pop out.

Alternatively, these are easy to simply color over. If deciding to color over the lenses, use red and blue marker but nothing that is too opaque. Also, regular plastic kitchen film will be needed. As long as it is plastic, firm enough to fit over the lenses yet still pliable, then it is a good choice.

Take the old lenses and trace around them with a marker on the plastic. This is to create new, clear lenses to replace the old ones. Cut them out either using scissors or using an x-actor knife. Take the markers and color one red and the other blue. Insert the blue sheet over the left eye and the red sheet over the right eye; this makes all the difference.

A Special Way to Replace Reading Glasses

Australian scientists have developed a new method to avoid eye surgery cataract patients. A revolutionary gel could soon replace the need for reading glasses or laser eye surgery. A BBC health report states that scientists in Australia have developed a gel which they reverses the deterioration insight associated with getting old. The gel is used to replace the contents of the eye’s lens, which over the years can harden and reduce vision. Scientists in the United States first demonstrated in the late 1980s that replacing the contents of an ageing monkey’s lens with silicone oil could restore its ability to focus. But since silicone oil leaks it was never going to have any practical use in humans.

Now scientists at the Australian Government’s multi-national Vision Co-operative Research Centre (Vision CRC) have developed an alternative to silicone oil. It has already been tested successfully on rabbits. There are now plans to test it on monkeys before possible human trials. “In the best-case scenario, we should begin human trials by the end of next year”, said Dr. Arthur Ho of Vision CRC. Implanting the gel would be very similar to current cataract surgery, except that the lens is not replaced. Instead, after making a small incision in the cornea, a doctor would cut a tiny hole in the lens capsule and suck out the contents. The gel, which has the consistency of thick oil, is pumped in and a burst of UV or visible light transforms it into jelly. “This would be a quick 15 minute procedure,” said Dr. Ho. Dr. Hugh Taylor, director of the Centre for Eye Research Australia in Melbourne, said: “This technique has enormous potential. It will totally change ophthalmic surgery, if we can get it right.”

The Vision CRC has grown out of the explosion in the need for eye care in Australia and worldwide. Over three billion people in the world need vision correction, and this number is growing rapidly. (Myopia is reaching epidemic proportions due to heredity increased screen and text-based activity). The ageing population is bringing about a staggering demographic shift so that presbyopia will soon affect over 40% of the population. From this need comes an enormous opportunity.

The centre will conduct major programmes in the areas of myopia, presbyopia, vision care delivery, business growth, professional and academic education. Most recently the Vision CRC brought together the world leaders in myopia research to launch the Center’s Myopia Programme, which aims at understanding and controlling the condition. Over 30 researchers attended the meeting at Sanctuary Cove, Queensland, from 21-25 March, 2003. “Myopia is of huge concern”, says Professor Holden. “High Myopia is the second highest cause of blindness in Asia and the number of sufferers is growing rapidly.”

The Vision CRC involves an array of outstanding national and international researchers from 37 organizations who have come together to tackle the eye care challenge.

Non Prescription Reading Glasses

  • Most pharmacies and many retailers sell over the counter (OTC) reading glasses that require no prescription. People like these readers because they tend to be much less expensive than reading glasses you might buy from your optometrist. However, there is dispute over whether these discount reading glasses are damaging to the eyes.
  • To put this debate to rest, “cheap” reading glasses will not damage your eyes, but they may decrease the amount of time you can read comfortably, depending on your prescription.
  • Inexpensive reading glasses typically have the same magnification power in each lens. This is beneficial to people who have the same, or almost the same, prescription in each eye.  For example, if one of your eyes requires +1.00 glasses and the other varies slightly needing +1.25 glasses, you can probably get by with a pair of cheap reading glasses from the pharmacy. However, if your eyes require markedly different prescriptions, the best reading glasses for you are custom prescription lenses from your eye doctor.
  • If your eyes have greatly differing  prescription needs, and you wear reading glasses with identical prescriptions, one eye will be under corrected or over corrected, depending on which eye your glasses accommodate. This will cause fatigue in said eye, which will, in turn, cause discomfort after a long period of use.
  • Thus, it is best to visit the eye doctor and receive your prescription. This is a much more sure-fire way to determine your eye needs than trying on pairs of readers at the pharmacy until you find a pair that seems to help your vision.
  • If the results of your eye doctor appointment deem that your eyes need the same amount of correction, then buying OTC discount reading glasses is just fine. You have the freedom to take your prescription and purchase your reading glasses wherever you want. As mentioned before, reading glasses are sold at pharmacies, many retail stores, discount stores, and you can also purchase reading glasses online.
