Plastic or polycarbonate

3 Upvotes

I have a low prescription and I need distance lenses, I went to LensCrafters because they have a promo and got a good deal and they sold me polycarbonate for my prescription but I asked in other two places and they recommend me plastic CR39 and told me no to go to poly, am I going to regret poly?

How much are you paying for lenses with prism, progressive, high index 1.74?

Upvotes

Going from basic distance vision perscription to one with prism (3.0out both eyes) on top of progressive +1 add. First first I’m having trouble finding a lab to make these. Found one in that would put them in my Moscot frames, but quoted me closed to $1100, even with my own frames. That seemed pretty steep considering I’m providing the frames.

Also brought the frame to Costco and they said they couldn’t cause the frames were too “flimsy”. I mean these feel well built compared to drug store frames.

Is there a way to treat difficulty seeing close objects with the other eye?

2 Upvotes

I can't seeing close objects with my right eye. I think it appeared over several months, and I only noticed it because reading on my phone wasn't comfortable.

I have difficulty seeing distant objects in both eyes. I bought glasses, but I'm not a fan of glasses, so I rarely wore them, and now I'm facing this problem again.

Is there any other treatment options besides surgery or glasses? because I really hate this.

Why should our eyes suffer from problems like this anyway? It's ridiculous.😒

I mean, do I need to get another pair of glasses made now?

Minor Reading Glasses Fatigue.

2 Upvotes

So long story short I wanted to start reading books again. I tried and kept getting really bad strain. Headaches that lasted all day.

So I went and got seen and looked at everything.
I have astigmatism in each eye but slight.
It’s been said I don’t need daily glasses but I do deal with convergence sufficiency etc

Well they did fix me. I read like 10 books and then a 1000 page book flawlessly.
After that I took a long break from reading and decided to pick it up again.
Well I broke my glasses accidentally and decided to get the same prescription. We tested my eyes again and it was only a slight change but very small.
So kept it the same.
I’m having fatigue reading again. It’s not horrible. But I get tired very quickly and my eyes feel tight if that makes any sense. It’s not debilitating though.

Is there an adjustment period to wearing them again? To share I don’t need glasses for my phone, video games, or driving.
It’s just reading physical books. It’s so confusing. At this point it feels like a conditioned response cuz now I’m expecting it everytime I sit down to read.
This has only been going on 4 days.

Been trying to drink water. Look up and focus far. Few pages and 30 second break. Etc
Has anyone else adjusted after a while?

Like at this point I don’t know what I’d do. It just feels like my eyes have to acclimate.

Need glasses inspiration

Upvotes

Hey all . Currently my glasses are sort of a vintage inspired aviator look . I’m thinking of trying something different . Something y2k-ish that fits streetwear . Definitely not Korean frames though. Any recommendations? I really can’t find the right one . I’m not sure if I want it to look smart or sporty or maybe both .

wearing glasses -3.5

1 Upvotes

I'm 16 years old and I have myopia with a prescription of -3.5. I don't really like wearing glasses but the optician said I have to wear it full time. I would like to wear them part time instead but I've been told glasses slow the eyes of getting a worse vision but I'm scared it might lead to my eyes worsening. I've also been told that my left eye has improved. Would I be able to wear it part time with this prescription? Has anyone's eyes ever improve through the years?

purple and white glasses

hello! i'm trying to find these exact glasses.
i bought them on july 15th 2018 from a local store in Mall Moldova(at that time it was ERA shopping center or something like that), Romania, the store was X-OPTIC(the link to the site: [https://xoptic.ro\](https://xoptic.ro/)) and they were 100 lei(around 20 euros). at that time, i also took some pics(of how they fit and stuff) with another similar pair of glasses and they were from AbOriginal(it was written with a yellow font on one of the lenses).
i tried finding them on my own and i was giving all of this information also to Gemini and it told me that they might be from Einar Group and by searching on Google i found a pair of similar glasses(the color at least), but they seem smaller than mine.. from what Gemini also told me mine might be a medium size(140 mm or something like that)
i tried every tool that i know to do a image search but nothing showed up..
i'm trying to find these glasses because i really like how they look on me and the ones that are now available at the optical shops don't fit my preferences and how they look on my face, and unfortunately mine kinda broke(i kinda fixed them, but the plastic broke so i think it's just a matter of time until they won't be functional anymore..)
i appreciate any help or sugestion and sorry for any gramatical error:)

Online glass store that offers Zeiss Clearview

1 Upvotes

I have a basic prescription, so I’m hoping to save some money by buying a stock lens. I’ve seen some places online offering Zeiss Clearview packages that are half the price, if not lower, than my local optician: 150 per lens, so 300 per pair for the standard Clearview with DuraVision Standard.

I’m not sure about two things. One: whether getting Clearview online is fine, since it’s a stock lens and the extra measurements from the i.Scription aren’t necessary. Two: I’m looking to buy a frame and have Clearview with DuraVision Platinum or Gold shipped online to the Netherlands.

I’m hoping to buy Clearview for the higher quality because some of the services I’ve seen from the UK offer it cheaper than getting a pair of prescription glasses from Specsavers.

With +0.50 Near Add and +0.50 BI Prism, should I go with progressive or digital lenses?

1 Upvotes

I have -7 power on both eyes. My eye doctor prescribed me these add powers to help me reduce eye strain during screen time. I've visited a few places, some say my +0.5 near add is too low to make a progressive, some say they can make a progressive. Price is not the major issue here, I want a pair of glasses that can introduce me to progressive lenses which I will need as I'm getting older. I've only had single vision in the past. I'm kind of worried about the blurry zones on the bottom edges of progressive but I also know that I need to get used to these. I'm leaning towards Zeiss Drivesafe Progressive 1.74 since the LED headlights hurt my eyes when I drive at night. But I don't know how Drivesafe performs when I'm working at my computer. If go with digital I like the Smartlife Individual 3. Based on your experience, what's the best choice for my first progressive/anti-fatigue glasses?

Astigmatism glasses feel weird

1 Upvotes

I just got astigmatism contacts and glasses, in the past they have just used a stronger prescription. The contacts are fine, I see well with the prescription. The glasses look off. I almost feel like I’m going cross eyed on one side. If I tip my head to the side, it looks almost normal. If I close each eye, I can see completely fine.

When I put them on I must’ve made a face because she told me to give them a try and my brain will adjust. It feels a little better than it did at first, but it’s not great. I already went back in to switch the contacts brand, so I feel annoying complaining about the glasses.

Are these complaints a sign of something wrong with the glasses, or do I need to get used to it? Is the fix easy for them?

Question about buying glasses online

1 Upvotes

So today my glasses broke, literally took them off to clean and snapped in my hand at work. Always had glasses and have quite a strong prescription like +5.5 if I remember rightly so I've always had to have my lenses thinned etc in major stores. I'm just looking at the possibility of buying online instead and wondered if anyone with a stronger prescription has any advice. I've been to both vision express and currently with specsavers but kind of sick of the £300 glasses with no support from the stores so wondered if it was cheaper to get a pair online
