If you wear glasses or contact lenses, and you have a passion for swimming or diving, dioptria or the risks of contact lenses are no longer a problem. The solution is to wear masks or a pair of swimming glasses with the necessary correction.

For this particular type of glasses a prescription is required, different from the usual prescription for glasses due to the unique characteristics of the underwater environment. Water itself acts as a magnifying glass, and that’s why aquarium fish or other underwater objects often seem bigger than they really are. So, since the light behaves differently in the water, the optometrist or ophthalmologist needs to change the usual prescription, just to have a clear view while underwater.

In addition, depending on the diving mask or swimming glasses style, glasses prescription can be influenced because the lenses can be positioned closer or closer to the eye compared to the normal positioning of the lens for the glasses.

We are currently witnessing the phenomenon in which eyeglasses have become more an accessory than a necessity. Today, we are looking for glasses to complement our physiognomy, to be in agreement with our personality and to be complimented by the people around us.

If frame makers have immediately aligned with new trends, bringing to market squares with increasingly diversified shapes and bold colors, what happens to eyeglass lenses?

Eyeglass lenses correct the optical error of the eyes based on the physical principle of light refraction. The lens power, or diopterism, is negative in the case of myopia, where the lenses will be thin at the center and thick at the edge and positive in the case of hypermetropia, where the lenses will be thin at the edge but thick at the center. Thus, the larger the diopter is, the longer the standard lens will be thicker, more unsightly and uncomfortable. The solution?

Thin lenses are a good choice when we want aesthetic, lighter and more comfortable glasses. These are lenses with a higher refractive index which have better light refraction compared to standard lenses, giving more clarity to the wearer. They are lighter because the amount of material used in making them is considerably smaller and thinner by providing aesthetic appearance and diminishing the effect of enlarged or diminished eyes.

To avoid distortions at the edges of large diopter lenses (even in the case of thin lenses), the lens can be processed at each point on its surface to obtain maximum comfort for the spectacle wearer.
The personalized solutions offered by our specialists, starting from the prescription for glasses, lifestyle-friendly lenses and frames, are designed to provide the perfect view that we all want, comfort, and not the ultimate glasses aesthetics, to complement the features of glasses wearers.

Sunglasses, just like the eyes, have become a fashion accessory. They are available in a wide variety of shapes, colors and materials, so each of us can choose the pair that suits her best. But their purpose is to protect the eyes and skin around the eyes from harmful sun rays. But what do we do when we’re eyeglass wearers?

The solution is to purchase colorful lenses with 100% UV protection and the diopter you need. Although these lenses are not new to the market, there are few people who know and use them. These can only be found in medical optics, in a wide variety of colors, with varying degrees of closure or even degradation. For enhanced comfort, we can choose lenses that contain a polarizing filter that eliminates the discomfort caused by the bright reflections of certain surfaces such as water, snow, metals or wet asphalt.

Optical correction sunglasses are available for almost any type of lens or diopter, but there are some restrictions on frame selection. This means that the frames are not too large or too curved around the head, and if the frame is metal, it should not be cast on a wire or staples, especially in the case of polarized lenses.

How to Choose the Right Pair of Sunglasses Correctly.

The secret is choosing the right features for your eyes. When you make the investment decision in a pair of sunglasses, DO NOT forget about:

Type of activity you will use: fishing, skiing, driving, etc., but also by fashion trends.

Sunglasses are genuine tools for protection against ultraviolet radiation and have optical qualities that guarantee complete protection of the 100% UVA / UVB – in a long exposure to sunlight.

A good sunscreen is recognized by the fact that it does not reflect the light, that is, the wearer is not disturbed by the reflected images and the person in front of the glasses is not reflected in the lenses. This is not just an aesthetic circumstance, it protects your eyes and increases driving safety.

A check of the quality of the sunglasses can be done by each user on a repeating surface, such as tiles on the roof of a house.

Keep your pair of sunglasses a little distant and cover your eyes. Just look at a lens on the tile roof as you slowly move the glasses from the left to the right, then up and down. Roof tiles should remain uniform while you look at them. If they curl in any way, then the lenses do not meet one of the basic properties of the lens, namely the torsion of the lens in the frame mount.

The color of the lens: it depends on how faithful you will perceive the other colors around you and how you will see the contrasts.

– Green lenses are neutral, they reduce brilliance and do not distort color perception;

– The gray and brown lenses are also in this category;

– Yellow, golden and amber shades are suitable for skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports.

A powerful sun glasses is the one with polarizing lenses.

Polarizing lenses – they are greatly suited both in summer and winter for all people with increased sensitivity to natural light, drivers and fishermen, because they enhance contrast, eliminate glare, do not influence color perception, provide 100% UV protection and great comfort in use.
