When it comes to shades, the choice shouldn’t hinge solely on style or fit. You also need to consider the type of UV protection you’ll receive: photochromic or polarized. Photochromic sunglasses adjust their tint in response to the intensity of UV light. Polarized sunglasses reduce glare by blocking light that reflects off flat surfaces, like roads or water.
Which solution is better? Stick around. We’ve got a lot to cover!
Running isn’t just a sport or a pastime for some; it’s a lifestyle! It can help you think clearly, stay fit, and get outdoors to escape our busy 9–5 world.
But once you become an avid runner, you realize that what you wear makes a big difference. Having debris, dust, and the sun’s powerful rays streaming into your face won’t do you any favors.
I’m here to share my recommendations for upgrading your eyewear so you can focus on your running routine.
Did you know that Benjamin Franklin invented bifocal reading glasses? That’s right! One of the Founding Fathers of the United States needed bifocals. But don’t knock bifocals as old-person eyewear! People across most age groups can use these lenses.
What are bifocal reading glasses, anyway? Do you need them? Will you need them? Are they all old-fashioned half-rimmed glasses? I’m here to tackle these questions and more! Let’s get into it.
Have you ever wondered why some people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have special eyewear? ADHD glasses aren’t your average specs. They help patients see and feel better by easing the impact of visual issues. It’s pretty cool that a pair of glasses can make such a big difference!
What are progressive lenses? It’s a question many contact wearers ask. Progressive lenses, also known as multifocal lenses or PALs (progressive addition lenses), are a type of lens designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances without the need for separate pairs of glasses.
PALs are primarily used to treat presbyopia, an age-related condition that affects the eye’s ability to focus on up-close objects. Progressive lenses provide a smooth and seamless transition between different prescription strengths within a single lens.
Unlike traditional bifocal or trifocal lenses, progressive lenses do not have visible lines separating the different prescription strength zones. Instead, the lenses gradually change in power from the top (distance vision) to the bottom (near vision), with intermediate powers located in between.
The lens is divided into three parts:
Read on to answer the question of what are progressive lenses, and to learn all about these lenses!
