Important Information On Sunglasses Lens Types

By David Adams


When eyes are exposed to too bright light may develop problems that may eventually lead to visual impairment or blindness. This calls for regulation of light that comes into contact with your eyes. This can be done so by using sunglasses. These are special materials that are worn on the eyes primarily to prevent exposure of the eye to harmful or discomforting light. This is achieved through the attachment of the appropriate lens which is a material that converges or diverges light in specific degrees. However, there are many sunglasses lens types and you should choose the best for your eyes.

They perform more or less the same functions but they have slight differences which are as a result of precision, specialization, and specification. Functions include the provision of comfort, clarity, and security. Prevention of glares and strong beams and glares is the main purpose wearing them. These forms of light come as a result of reflections from water, shiny surfaces, and metallic sheets.

Protection is done from lightly related diseases, UV radiations, and foreign solid materials. Infections and disorders like snow blindness, photo-keratitis, pterygium, cataracts and certain cancers of the eye are associated with exposure to these rays. These tools are also used to hide eyes due to weeping, abnormal appearance, missing eye, blindness, red color or after a criminal activity. They are also used in fashion and styling.

These tools come in different types, colors, and styles. Their lenses are also coated and made of different materials and colors that make them different in functioning and appearance. Aspheric are circular and converge or diverge light beams in relative uniform curves. They correct miner visual distortions in an effective manner. They are also light and thin in terms of weight and make.

Another type is the bi and trifocal. They are good in light reduction as well as fixing of near and long-sightedness cases respectively. They are mostly used by people who are experiencing age-related vision problems. Antireflective are used to reduce straining of the eye caused by bright glares and reflections. They also reduce abnormal vision characteristics observed during the night periods. They improve the clarity of seeing.

The use of devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, televisions may be harmful to your eyesight because of the emission of bright light from the screens. In order to reduce exposure to such brightness, a blue light filter can be applied.

Scratch resistant are coated with certain materials that extend their lifespan. It is impossible to make a lens scratch proof but the coating provides protection for a period of time from surfaces that come into contact with them. In short, it minimizes wear and tear.

It is important however to consult an optician or a medical practitioner before the selection is done. This is because he might give information that will be useful or conduct eye tests and examinations and recommend for you the best type to use. These tools are ideal for every person use as they prevent people from getting visually impaired.
