May 22nd, 2007 by statuseyecare

Drivewear lenses are the newest technology in photochromatic lenses for eyeglasses. This is the only polarized photochromatic lens available at this time. This lens is not only semi-clear polarized lens but also darkens behind the windshield of a car. These lenses use the advantages of Transitions properties and Nupolar polarization to give you the best in driving glasses in any weather or daytime lighting condition.

The Drivewear lenses act in three different conditions. The first condition is low light or overcast conditions. These lenses remove glare and use the light passing through the lens to its maximum for better visual acuity. Glare during theses lighting conditions causes uncomfortable eye strain. In this stage the lenses are a green/yellow color.

In bright light behind the windshield of your car, the Drivewear lenses removes excessive light. These lenses also darken to control the intenseness of the light that reaches the eye. The polarization removes glare associated with sunny day conditions. This combination helps to clarify color recognition which makes traffic lights easier to see during the bright daytime light. In this stage the lenses are a copper color.

In extremely bright conditions such as outside on a sunny day, Drivewear lenses filter the excessive amounts of light. The polarization eliminates the glare that is present during extremely bright conditions. In this stage the lenses are a dark red brown color. This color is best for contrast.

The Drivewear lens is activated by not only visable light but UV rays as well. These lenses are available in a single vision and one brand of progressive lenses. Drivewear lenses should not be used for night time driving. These are definitely the best in driving eyeglass lenses. This new technology allows you to have the best of many worlds while you are wearing your Drivewears lenses in any daytime condition.

More Than One Pair Of EyeGlasses

April 22nd, 2007 by statuseyecare

If you are an eyeglasses wearer I’m sure you have wondered if you should have more than one pair of eyeglasses. In a world that has and continues to be ever changing the need for more than one pair of eyeglasses has become inevitable for many reasons.

The first reason a second pair of eyeglasses is or may be need is for the purpose of sun protection. As our eyes are exposed to the rays of the sun we can experience extreme glare. This can impair our ability to see well especially while driving. The ultra violet rays of the sun can cause damage and the onset of early cataracts. From children to adults sun protection should be a utilized, especially if you are a prescription eyeglass wearer.

The second reason you should own a second pair of eyeglasses is in case of loss or breakage. Depending on the amount of prescription you are wearing the most common cause for panic is the loss or breakage of a person’s only pair of prescription eyeglasses. Some people become virtually blind without their eyeglass correction. Contact lens wearers should always have a pair of current eyeglasses available. Should they have an infection or condition that does not allow them to wear their contact lenses for several days or weeks, they need a pair they like. The mistake a contact lenses wearer makes I either not having a spare pair of eyeglasses or having a pair they do not want to wear in public.

The third reason that a secondary pair of eye glasses may be needed is for computer use. Although a progressive pair of eyeglass lenses provides the intermediate, the area may not be wide enough for long term computer use. Some people may prefer to have a pair of bifocals made with just the intermediate and the near prescription. Some people may want a single vision pair of eyeglasses made for just the intermediate or computer distance. Either way, computer use becomes easier.

The fourth reason an additional pair of eyeglasses may be needed is in the case of a person who only needs reading glasses. Most of the time the reading glasses are never in the place you need them. So more than one pair of reading glasses may be necessary for various parts of the house, office, and/or vehicle to make sure at least one pair is available when needed.

You are treading dangerous waters if you have a fairly powerful prescription and only one pair of eyeglasses. If you are driving or operation equipment, another life may in danger, including your own. Some will say that eyeglasses are too expensive but how much value do you place on the gift of seeing or the life you are not seeing. Sight is well worth the investment.
