What Satisfaction Looks Like

Buying eyeglasses can be a daunting task especially when you have a wide variety of shapes, designs and discounts available around you to lure the eyes. Whereas a wrong size, wrong fit or a wrong frame can leave you with a sour experience. But don’t worry! This comprehensive guide will ensure you end up with ‘nothing but the perfect’ pair for your eyes. 

Let us first know about an eyeglass frame in depth.

Frame Components & Material

Any eye frame has three significant elements that are the lenses, the temples, and the front of a frame. A few other elements like rim, nose-bridge, nose pads, hinges, and temple tips help in making the eye frame look complete and comfortable. Knowing your frame specifications is very important. Any eyeglass frame consists of 3 major parts in its construction namely frame front, temples and lenses. Some other components of an eyeglass are rim, nose-bridge, nose pads, hinges and temple tips.​

Front Material

The frame front consists of the largest part of eyeglasses. The frame front can be of various materials. Mainly it is of plastic or metal in combinations like Cellulose acetate, Optyl, Titanium, or Aluminum. Some unusual materials like Gold, Silver, Wood, Bone, Leather, and Buffalo horn are also used to make frame front.

Template Size

The long branches that are attached to the hinges through screws and kept bent at its end for proper fitting on the ears are known as the temples. Written inside the temples, there is the frame size. The temples are for supporting the frame front and for the accurate placement of eyeglasses on the face.​

Lens Material

The lenses made up of glass, plastic, or polycarbonate, are fitted into the frame. The lenses are the elements that support the eyesight of a human. The lenses are under a coating for preventing eyes from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun and atmospheric pollution.​

Frame Sizes

Eyeglass frames are broadly divided into 3 size categories- Small, Medium & Large. To determine what fits you, either keep your prescriptions handy or look on the insides your old frame temples for the exact numeric size specifications. Frame size is a combination of numeric values usually represented in sets e.g. 53-18-140 known as the eye size, bridge size & temple size respectively.​

Lens Types

ANti - gare

Additional capabilities of the glass can protect the eyes better. The anti-glare glass prevents water and soil from harming the eyes. This glass is comparatively easy to clean. It reduces light reflection to a maximum possible extent and protects your eyes.

BLu-cut

Specially designed to protect the eyes from the computer screen, blue cut glasses are a safer choice. They protect the eye from getting damage by mobile screen or computer screen light emission.

UV protection

Just like the skin, the eyes need protection from UV rays of the sun. It is the glass that blocks 100% of UV radiation from entering into the eyes, causing less or minimal eye damage.

Anti Reflective

It is the plain transparent glass that reflects no light. The light elimination elevates the vision and eyesight.

The coating of a lens means to add an extra layer, or a thin sheet on the front and back surfaces of the eyeglasses to make it anti-glare, anti-reflective, more capable of reducing eye-straining and enhanced protective. The coating increases durability, boosts performance, and the appearance of your lenses.​

Prescription

When you look at your prescription for eyeglasses, you will see numbers listed under the headings of OS and OD. They are Latin abbreviations: OS (oculus sinister) means the left eye and OD (oculus dextrus) means the right eye. Occasionally, you will see a notation for OU, which means something involving both eyes. In general, the further away from zero the number on your prescription, the worse your eyesight and the more vision correction (stronger prescription) you need. A “plus” (+) sign in front of the number means you are farsighted, and a “minus” (-) sign means you are nearsighted. These numbers represent diopters, the unit used to measure the correction, or focusing power, of the lens your eye requires. Diopter is often abbreviated “D.”​
