Myopia

Myopia

myopia

Myopia is the most common cause of impaired vision in people under age 40 and the prevalence of myopia is rising. 

The WHO estimates that this year, shortsightedness will affect 2.56 billion people and as a major risk factor for developing cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. 

It is important to have regular visits to your optometrist if you have myopia or think you might have it.

What is myopia?

Known as ‘nearsightedness’, myopia is when you can see close-up objects clearly, but far away things appear blurry. 

Nearsightedness is a refractive error where the eye does not bend (or refract) light properly, resulting in an unclear vision of faraway objects.

Myopia causes

Myopia is genetic. It occurs when the eyeball is longer than normal or your cornea (the protective outer layer of the eye) is curved too steeply. When light enters your eye it focuses in front of your retina instead of being precisely on your retina.

Myopia symptoms

These are the common signs you could have shortsightedness:

  • Eyestrain

  • Headaches

  • Squinting to see properly

  • Difficulty seeing objects far away, like road signs or the whiteboard for school kids

Myopia in children

Myopia is genetic, so pay extra attention to your children if you are nearsighted. 

Children commonly develop myopia between 8 and 12 years old and during the teenage years the level of myopia can actually worsen as the body grows rapidly. Myopia normally stabilises when people are between 20 and 40 years old.

Common signs of myopia in children include:

  •  Persistently squinting

  • Sitting close to the television, movie screen, or the front of the classroom

  • Unaware of distant objects

  • Blinking excessively

  • Rubbing their eyes often

Myopia treatment

Fortunately, myopia is easy to treat and can involve these options:

Single vision lenses: Glasses for myopia are ideal as they allow the light to reflect directly on your retina so vision appears clearly. 

An anti-reflective coating on your lenses is ideal for comfort when wearing your glasses throughout the day. You can add this coating to your order during checkout. 

Read further on to learn about the highest quality lenses you can get for the best prices.

Contact lenses: Spherical contact lenses and multifocal contact lenses are ideal for correcting myopia.

Eye drops from your optometrist can help slow the progression in children.

Extreme myopia

Also known as ‘high myopia’, this is when the eyeball grows bigger than it is meant to and becomes very long. 

It makes it very difficult to see faraway objects but also increases your likelihood of developing cataracts, glaucoma, and a detached retina. If you have high myopia, you can normally treat it with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Myopia prescription

Your myopia prescription for both glasses and contact lenses will be a negative number in the ‘sphere’. The more negative the number is, it means the stronger your prescription is.

Eye exercises for myopia

Finally, you might have heard that eye exercises can be an alternative treatment to glasses or surgery for myopia. Unfortunately, eye exercises cannot treat short-sightedness, as they’re not able to alter the shape of your cornea. 

However, we have compiled some eye exercises which could be helpful in reducing some of the symptoms resulting from myopia, like eye strain.

zFORT® blue light blocking glasses

Blue light is a potentially harmful form of light. While it is naturally emitted by the sun, electronic devices (upon which we’re spending more and more time every day) are also high-level producers. 

Blue light rays at a wavelength between 415nm – 455nm can damage your retinal cells, which may lead to premature eye aging and vision problems in the future.

Our exposure to these harmful light rays may also cause a range of other health problems, including poor sleep (according to a 2012 Harvard Medical School study).

What Causes Blurred Vision?

blurred vision

Blurry vision is an incredibly broad term and as such, can be caused by an incredibly broad range of things.

Non-serious causes of blurred vision:

  • Hyperopia – If you have hyperopia (farsightedness), distant objects may remain clear but your eyes can’t focus properly on close-up objects, or doing so causes unusual eye strain and fatigue. In cases of severe farsightedness, even distant objects may appear blurred.

  • Astigmatism – Blurred vision at all distances often is a symptom of astigmatism. A type of refractive error, astigmatism usually is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea.

  • Presbyopia – If you’re over age 40 and are starting to notice blurry vision up close — when reading a text message, a restaurant menu, food label or other small print, for example. Chances are, this is due to the onset of presbyopia, a normal age-related vision problem.

  • Myopia – Symptoms of myopia (nearsightedness) include squinting, eye strain, headaches and blurry vision in one or both eyes. Myopia is the most common refractive errors and causes objects in the distance to appear blurred.

  • Eye floaters – Vision can be blurred by temporary spots or floaters drifting in your field of vision. Floaters typically appear when the eye’s gel-like vitreous begins to liquify with age, causing microscopic bits of tissue to float freely inside the eye, casting shadows on the retina.

  • Pregnancy – Blurry vision is common during pregnancy and sometimes is accompanied by diplopia (double vision). Hormonal changes can alter the shape and thickness of your cornea, causing your vision to blur. Dry eyes also are common in pregnant women and can cause blurred vision.

Serious causes of blurred vision also exist, such as: cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, or age-related macular degeneration. If you reckon you may be experiencing any of these conditions, speak to a doctor or eye specialist immediately.

UV-Protection-Sunglasses-How-Different-Protection-Categories-Work

Many people use sunglasses as a fashion accessory to add a touch of sophistication to their style during the spring and summer months. However, not everyone is aware that UV sunglasses have a very practical purpose in addition to being fashionable.

The lenses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, which are problematic on both clear and cloudy days. When exposed to the sun, our eye pupils constrict to filter the light before it hits our retina.

When the UV rays are very strong, this natural filter isn’t enough and could lead to eye health issues. To help prevent various issues, you should wear sunglasses that provide UV protection.

People’s eyewear needs vary, so it’s only natural that sunglasses come with various lenses to accommodate various conditions and environments. The lenses usually fall into one of five levels that offer different UV filters in sunglasses.

UV-Protection-Sunglasses-How-Different-Protection-Categories-Work
UV-Protection-Sunglasses-How-Different-Protection-Categories-Work

What is category 0 UV protection?

Category 0 blocks out only 3-20% of UV rays, so not a viable option for eye protection. Category 0 sunglasses are indicated for fashion purposes only; an example is softly coloured tinted lenses.

What is category 1 UV protection?

Category 1 blocks 20-57% of UV. Category 1 sunglasses are best suited for fashion purposes or cloudy days with little sun exposure. These types of sunnies usually have light tints, like grey or purple.

What is category 2 UV protection?

Category 2 lenses block 57-82% of UV rays and are appropriate for partly overcast days. Category 2 sunglasses are typically lighter in colour than others. Perfect for spring!

What is category 3 UV protection?

Category 3 sunglasses block 82-92% of UV light, which makes these UV sunglasses an excellent choice for sun protection. These shades can be used in bright sunlight in the mountains or at the seaside.

What is category 4 UV protection?

Category 4 (UV400) lenses are the highest category available, blocking 92-97% of UV rays to provide maximum protection. Sunglasses with lens category 4 are ideal for exceptionally bright settings, such as at high elevations or sea.

However, it is important to note that they are unsuitable for driving due to the dark lens tint (even illegal in some countries like the UK).

DID YOU KNOW?

UV protection is the most important characteristic to look for when choosing your next pair of sunglasses. Categories 0, 1 and 2 are for fashion purposes. Category 3 is ideal for standard bright sunlight conditions and Category 4 is for exceptionally bright settings.

Should I get category 3 or 4 sunglasses?

To determine which UV protection category you should go for, you need to determine in which conditions you’ll use your sunglasses. Usually, most people buying sunglasses will get a standard category 3 pair. 

Category 3 is the most common, ideal for bright sunny days in cities and holidays in the mountains or seaside. Category 4 sunglasses have extremely dark lenses and are recommended for extra bright conditions when the sun is very intense. For example, hiking at high altitudes, in the desert, or sailing in the open sea.

Is 100% UV protection better than polarised?

100% UV protection and polarisation are two different things. While UV protection sunglasses are designed to protect your eyes, polarised sunglasses are designed to reduce glare so you can see more clearly without squinting. People who play video games, water sports, or are bothered by glare daily choose these lenses. 

Although polarisation has nothing to do with UV light absorption, many polarised lenses now have a UV-blocking material added to them. Older sunglasses with scratches on the coatings will not provide as much protection as newer UV protection sunglasses, so it is important to take care of them to ensure they protect your eyes. 

Remember that UV protection is the most critical characteristic to look for and should be your top priority when buying sunglasses.

What Are Polarised Sunglasses?

What are Polarised Sunglasses?

polarised sunglasses

Polarised sunglasses are high-functioning eyewear with many benefits for outdoor enthusiasts. Learn what polarised sunglasses are good for and what the difference is between polarised and non-polarised sunglasses. 

If you’ve found yourself asking these questions and wondering whether or not polarised sunglasses are good for you, read on to find out more.

What does polarised sunglasses mean?

Polarised sunglasses will block out the horizontal blinding glare that causes you to squint. 

As the sun hits the surface horizontally, it will bounce off the surface causing the glare. polarised lenses block that glare using an anti-glare filter to create vertical openings for light to pass through. 

Not only do they make colours more distinguishable, but they also add clarity to your vision by reducing glare from the sun. 

Glare can be annoying and dangerous as it alters colours and causes visual discomfort, so polarised sunglasses can help you to see more clearly.

How do polarised sunglasses work?

Polarised lenses have opposite layers aligned at the opposite polars. These molecules absorb horizontally polarised light before it reaches your eyes but allow vertically polarised light to pass through. 

As direct sunlight is unpolarised, the polarisation filter doesn’t completely block out the light – but don’t worry, polarised sunglasses contain other coatings that protect your eyes from direct sunlight.

How to tell if sunglasses are polarised

With the aspects of polarised lenses in mind, you can determine whether your sunglasses are polarised by looking through the lenses towards a reflective surface, such as water or pavement.  

If you don’t experience blurry vision, you are probably wearing sunglasses with polarised lenses.

Another way to test your sunglasses is to put them on and look at your phone or tablet when switched on. 

If your screen is black, that means your sunglasses are polarised with a filter that blocks horizontally polarised light. All you have to do to see your screen is rotate your device 90 degrees.

What is the difference between polarised and non-polarised sunglasses?

The anti-glare coating on polarised lenses is the main difference between polarised and non-polarised sunglasses. 

Polarised sunglasses are not necessarily better for eye health, as both polarised and non-polarised sunglasses come with UV protection.

 Another difference between the two types of lenses is the visual quality that each offers. Since polarised sunglasses are blocking out glare, they can end up seeming like a darker, clearer lens. 

So, are polarised anti-glare sunglasses better? While it is a matter of preference, there are some situations where non-polarised sunglasses might be more beneficial than polarised sunglasses. 

For example, polarised sunglasses are not recommended for use in the aviation environment. polarised lenses can also make it more difficult to see electronic screens, so pilots are advised to wear non-polarised sunglasses while flying.

What are the benefits of polarised sunglasses?

Polarised sunglasses can benefit anyone who participates in activities under direct sunlight or near the water. As polarised lenses also reduce glare, they improve visual clarity and enhance the world around us with vibrant colours. 

Polarised lenses can also enhance the colour contrast we see when exposed to the sun. This attribute benefits athletes, fishing enthusiasts, and outdoorsmen who want greater depth perception to enhance their performance.

Polarised sunglasses are perfect for time spent by the water, as they help eliminate the light that reflects from the surface. Similarly, polarised lenses are commonly found in ski goggles to improve performance and block the glare reflected off the snow.

Should you get polarised sunglasses?

Regardless of whether you spend time on the water or near the snow, polarised sunglasses offer many practical applications for everyday life. 

Having a pair of go-to polarised sunglasses is a no-brainer if you are serious about protecting your eyes from UV light. 

However, if you need to view strictly digital screens for your job, such as if you are a pilot, you should not wear polarised sunglasses. Contact our opticians for advice if you are unsure whether polarised sunglasses are right for your lifestyle.

All you need to know about Persol 714

The History of Persol 714 on Screen

Picture of Aurora Gould

Aurora is a Digital Marketing Specialist for SmartBuyGlasses. She’s enthusiastic about supporting the marketing efforts across multiple channels. Her goal is to create riveting content that is also educational by bringing to you all the latest eyewear trends.

There’s a reason actor Steve McQueen was known as the “king of cool” in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. It wasn’t just his talent that made McQueen so sought after in the film industry; it was his style that was the backbone of his entire persona. So what was it that made him look so cool and collected? While some believe it was his khaki pants and messy pocket squares, there’s no denying that his sunglasses style changed the game. Steve McQueen was known to throw together a three-piece suit with casual sunglasses, such as the Persol 714 sunglasses he wore in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968).

What’s so great to love about these Steve McQueen sunglasses? SmartBuyGlasses’ has got the scoop on everything you need to know about the fabulous Persol 714 style. 

 

The Persol 714 Look

The Persol 714 sunglasses have many features that are still trending today. For instance, these are pilot sunglasses, a shape that was made popular by Ray-Ban in the 1930s and has been around ever since. Pilot sunglasses offer a practical shape that fits comfortably on the face while still looking fresh and trendy. 

The Persol 714 Steve McQueen sunglasses also sport the fun havana color. Persol havana sunglasses are often matched with colored lenses, such as these green ones, to give them a noticeable contrast, much like Steve McQueen did with his style mix of business and casual. 

 

Foldable Sunglasses

One of the greatest things about the Persol 714 design is that they are foldable. Folding sunglasses are great for storing and bringing your sunglasses along without taking up too much space. While on your face, they look like any other regular sunglasses. Without taking away from the chic design, the foldable nose bridge gives these glasses a unique, practical feature. It’s hard to find a downside to folding glasses. 

What makes Persol one of the leading brands in designer eyewear is their careful attention to detail. The Persol 714 shades are unique all the way from the nose bridge around to the arms. The temple hinges wrap around to the front, giving the face some sleek detailing. Then, in the center of the arms of the Persol 714 model, you can see how they made the foldable hinges look like nothing more than added elegant touch. These Steve McQueen sunglasses make practical look complicated.

What Size Persol 714 to Buy

The standard size for the Persol 714 sunglasses are the 54mm lenses with a lens height of 48.4mm. Persol also makes these sunglasses in a smaller size of 52mm lenses with a lens height of 46.7mm. While there is only a 2mm different in the lens width, there is a noticeable difference in how these glasses fit the face. 

While both sizes fold in the same way, the smaller size 52mm lenses may be slightly more convenient for storage purposes. In the 1930’s Persol created the first flexible stem system for glasses known as the Meflecto stem system. The two lines seen on the arm of the sunglasses near the temple allows the hinges to bend and form to the wearer’s face shape, without any permanent changes to the frames taking place. This system is especially convenient for the 52mm lenses as it allows those with wider shaped heads to sport the smaller frame size if they choose without experiencing discomfort from a tightening sensation. 

The standard 54mm size, on the other hand, does offer more of that classic look that was brought to the spotlight by Steve McQueen. While it’s really much more of a style choice, you might also want to consider what you find more comfortable in a pair of sunglasses. Do you tend to lean more towards wider lenses for more peripheral vision? Do narrower lenses sit more comfortably on your face? These are the kind of questions you should ask yourself when considering which size to get, as it’s really a matter of personal preference. 

 

Persol 714 Polarized: The Steve McQueen Sunglasses Match

You can also get the Persol 714 sunglasses with polarized lenses. Polarized sunglasses reduce glare making them great for outdoors and driving. Plus, the original Steve McQueen sunglasses had the blue lenses. Look like a movie star, have optimal vision, and get a practical folding feature with the Persol 714 design today when you order with SmartBuyGlasses. 

 

Persol 649 vs. 714

The Persol 649 sunglasses are an older version of the 714. While the glasses look relatively similar, there are some important differences: 

 

1. The 649 sunglasses are not collapsable. 

2. The 649 design comes in a large size, the 56mm lens.

3. The Persol 714 design has a slightly lower sitting nose bridge due to its folding capability, thusly slightly changing the shape and style.

 

There are plenty of similarities between these two models, such as the Meflecto stem system, color, and shape, but overall the 714 has a slightly more modern look. This doesn’t come as a surprise as it was designed almost 10 years after the 649 model. The only feature benefit we can see from the Persol 714 model is the fact that they are collapsible. Otherwise, we’re talking once again about nothing more than a style preference.
