1. No need for people with 2 diopters to wear glasses when reading.
It is wrong for myopia sufferers whose strength is only two diopters or weaker to wear glasses when they are reading books. It is learned from some ophthalmological centers that in recent days a peak of prescribing glasses appear in their centers. Even in some days, the amount of reception per day surpassed three thousand. However, the ophthalmologist find that a lot of myopia sufferers do not have a clear idea about how to choose a proper pair of prescription glasses and use it in a correct way in daily life.
The myopia glasses are usually used for seeing objects at least five meters far away.
A Dr. Green in the ophthalmologist centre said that he found lots of myopia sufferers always wear reading glasses
, no matter they read books or look at sightseeing far away, and he emphasized that this doing cannot be adopted. Actually, for the myopia sufferers below two diopters, it’s no need wearing glasses when reading. “When we do optometry for our patients, we examine their sight state of seeing objects five meters away, so the prescription glasses are used for seeing far-away objects. It is wrong to use it within five meters.” Dr. Green said, “Especially when they read or watch computer screen, the distance is thirty-three millimeters more or less, so if they keep on wearing glasses to read or watch nearby objects, their myopia would probably strengthen.”
“The myopia sufferers below two diopters do not need to wear eyewear
at all when seeing nearby objects. For those above three diopters, if they actually cannot see objects nearby clearly, they can wear glasses but the strength of the glasses should be weaker than the prescription glasses according to the distance between people and objects.” another ophthalmologist said.
2. Children must have mydriasis test before wearing eyewear
Nowadays, lots of glasses shops boast that they apply high and new technology in prescribing glasses, and adopt scientific instruments for optometry instead of doing optometry by manpower. A Dr.Hudson in the optometry and prescription centre remind us that, for adults, there are little difference between the result from the optometry by instrument and that by manpower, whole for children the case is totally different, especially for the kids below twelve years old. So they must have mydriasis test first and then do optometry for twice.
3. Some tips on selecting glasses
As to frame:
Examine its material. The good-quality material of frames is leveled-off. Even if you pucker it up, it won’t be rugged. What’s more, the electroplated surface is very smooth.
Check the elasticity. Bend the leg of the glasses slightly and see whether it can get back easily or not. If it cannot come back after being distorted, then you can judge it not so good.
Looking at the weld. A good frame must be equipped with proper screws and welds with no crack.
As to lens:
Listening to the sound. Throw the lens flatly and slightly onto a desk with a glass surface. If the sound of the clashing is crisp, then you can say it is made of super-flimsy material.
Turn the lens towards the rays. If there are air bubbles or impure things on it, then the lens is of bad quality.
The surface of lens. If the glistening color of the lens turns out to be purple-green or purple-yellow and the reflected objects on the lens are very clear, then the lens have a thin coating with the function of lessening reflection. Drop water on the surface of the lens. If the drops stand upward just like dewdrops on the leaves of lotus, then the lens must be armed with a defending coating.

I’m a presbyopic sufferer; therefore, I’m unable to see things clearly no matter they are close to me or far away from me. I just can’t see them clearly. At first, I don’t know that there are bifocals and progressive eyeglasses, so I have two pairs of prescription eyeglasses for me to see things clearly. Actually, in the beginning I could accept it because usually I only need to wear myopic glasses. However, as the time went, there were so many things for me to see that I had to change my eyeglasses frequently. As a result, I was tired of it. As a matter of fact, I didn’t like to take many things with me when I went out for something, especially for shopping. Even though they were only two pairs of eyeglasses, I didn’t want to take them with me. However, there was no choice for me; I had to take them with me once I went out.
I remembered that there was a time I went out to shop and I took my two pairs of eyeglasses. When I saw the price of something, I had to wear my shortsighted prescription glasses; however, when I need to see something which was a little bit far away from me, I had to wear my farsighted eyeglasses. I did this for more than ten times. It’s really frustrated. What’s worse, I didn’t buy anything on that day. So I was truly angry with my eyeglasses. I contributed the reason that I couldn’t shop for anything to my eyeglasses. It’s because of my eyeglasses which were so inconvenient that I shopped for nothing. Therefore, I hoped that there’s a pair of eyeglasses which was able to let me see things clearly no matter how far or how near they were to me.
I asked my friends and turned to the internet, finally I found that there was a kind of eyeglasses which was able to satisfy my requirement in an online eyeglass store which was called bifocals and progressive eyeglasses. In fact, I didn’t think much about bifocals and progressive eyeglasses, I even didn’t find any information about this kind of eyeglasses, and I just bought one pair of bifocals and progressive eyeglasses. To my pleasure, this pair of eyeglasses turns out to be excellent. I do can wear one pair of eyeglasses to see anything no matter it’s far away from me or quite near to me.
prescription eyeglasses
Now I feel that my world is fantastic again due to my progressive eyeglasses. I can only wear progressive eyeglasses to go out for shopping. I want to see price, then I can see it; I want to see some clothes which is far away from me, then I can see it. I do love my progressive eyeglasses.

Wearing a pair of glasses not only can make young people more stylish, also it can make them look smarter, especially the glasses on Glassesshop. Young children tend to think that other kids with glasses look smarter than kids who don’t wear glasses, according to a new study.
Children between the ages of 6 and 10 who are surveyed for the study also think that kids wearing glasses look more honest than children who don’t wear glasses.
Otherwise, the survey suggests that children don’t tend to judge the attractiveness of their peers who wear glasses when ask about their appearance, potential as a playmate or likely athletic abilities.
“If the impression of looking smarter will appeal to a child, I would use that information and tell the child it is based on research,” Walline said. “Most kids getting glasses for the first time are sensitive about how they’re going to look. Some kids simply refuse to wear glasses because they think they’ll look ugly.”
Walline surveys children in this age range because they are more likely to be prescribed eyeglasses than contact lenses. Generally, children with nearsightedness are diagnosed with myopia and receive their first corrective lenses at around age 8. Teen-agers are not surveyed because they are routinely fitted with contact lenses if they want them.
For the study, Walline and his colleagues assembled a series of 24 pairs of pictures of children for comparison. The children in each pair differed by gender and ethnicity, and each pair included one child with glasses and one child without glasses.
Eighty young children – 42 girls and 38 boys – were surveyed. Of those, 30 kids (38 percent) wore glasses, 34 had at least one sibling with glasses and almost two-thirds had at least one parent who wore glasses.
The questionnaire featured six questions, many based on similar studies in adults. When presented with each pair of photos, the participants were asked : which of the two children pictured would you rather play with; looks smarter or looks better at playing sports; do you think which is better looking, looks more shy or looks more honest?
On average, two thirds of the participating children said they thought that kids wearing glasses looked smarter than kids do not wear glasses. 57 percent of the participants said they thought kids with glasses appeared to be more honest. Both kids with and without glasses thought kids who wear glasses looked smarter.
Walline says the findings suggest that media portrayals associating spectacles with intelligence may be reinforcing a stereotype that even young children accept.
The fact that the question of attractiveness yielded no significantly different answers for children with or without glasses suggests that kids don’t automatically consider kids with glasses to be unattractive, Walline says.
“The concern about attractiveness with glasses seems to be more internal to a particular child rather than an indicator of how they’ll feel about other people who wear glasses,” Walline says.
Therefore, go and buy a pair of glasses on Glassesshop. You will look smarter and more attractive after you order a pair of kids glasses on Glassesshop because you will choose a pair of most suitable glasses here.

In the surface of our eyes, there is a thin tear velum which has the function of lubrication. When you blink, the thin tear velum will refurbish and keep our eyes wetness.
For some people, they don’t know many things about their eyes, even though they are myopic; of course, they don’t know that they ought to keep their eyes in the condition of wetness. Therefore, when their eye hurt, they don’t know why. In this rapid development time, there are many things for us to use our eyes, especially when we use a computer, watch a TV program or play PSP; we have to put all our attention on it. Now and then you are so focused in it that we don’t know what has happened around us. However, this is quite bad for our eyes. That’s because ten seconds later after our eyes focus on one thing, there will be a dry dot appearing on our tear velum. As a result, the surface of our eyeballs will become drier and drier. It’s likely that we won’t have much feeling at first; while not long later we are able to feel that our eyes are quite dry.
The best way for us to use our eyes to let them have a rest after a certain time we use them until they become wet again. Normally, our eyes will blink about 15 times every minute. However, when we focus on reading or using computers, it’s likely that we only will blink no more than 10 times every minute. As a result, our tear velum become smaller and smaller. Since it become small, then the function of keeping our eyes wet will become weak or even lose. So our eyeballs become quite dry; and then when we close or open our eyes, our cornea and eyelid are easy to brush burn. It may results the dryness of our eyes, the tiredness of our eyes, inflammation and ache. At last, we are going to suffer from xeroma, one of eye diseases. Considering that we are already a nearsighted sufferer, we have to let our eyes get enough rest when we are using computer or watching TV programs. Otherwise, our strength will be worse and worse.
Therefore, we can see that it’s important to protect our eyes. After all, each of us only has one pair of eyes. We ought to pay much attention to the health protection of our eyes. Although for some of us it’s impossible not to use computers in our daily life due to this or that reason; it’s possible that we let our eyes have enough rest after a certain time we use them. Thereby, our eyes won’t become worse and worse. What’s more, when our eyes are in a good condition, the efficiency for us to do our work is quite high. Keeping our eyes wet, we are able to have an excellent day every day.
