Q.
How do I pick up frames and lenses that look great on me?
A. Its important to determine the shape
of your face and colour.
Q. Can you please
suggest means to avoid reflections on glasses?
A. An anti-reflective coat on your
lenses helps you see through your eyeglasses more clearly and easily. It also allows others to see your eyes
better and helps avoid the white glare spots.
Q. How often is it
required to get a new pair of glasses?
A. The optometrist will let you know,
when you visit them for a regular eye check-up.
However, it is important to know when to have an eye checkup. As a general rule, it is advisable to have an
eye checkup once a year. If your prescription doesn’t change at all and you are bored of the same old looks,
try new eye frames available at our GANGAR EYENATION.
Q. How do I know if my
eyeglass protects me from the sun?
A. Ordinary, untreated eyeglasses give
some protection. Most plastic lenses give more protection than glass lenses, because, as noted above, glass is
transparent to UVA and the common acrylic plastic used for lenses is less so. Some plastic lens materials,
such as polycarbonate, inherently block most UV. There are protective treatments available for eyeglass lenses
that need it which will give better protection.
Q. Are eyeglasses and
lenses available for farsighted people that don’t magnify the eye?
A. There are lenses available that
don’t magnify the eye which are called as ‘Aspheric lenses’. They not only make people look great, but also
avoid distortion.
Q. What is the best
eyeglass tint?
A. To be honest, there is nothing truly
known as ‘best tint’ in eyeglasses. As different tints have a different look on different personalities, it’s
ideally recommended to visit an any GANGAR EYENATION store to check out the latest collection of coloured
tints available in eyewear and decide what looks best on you.
Q. Which is an
appropriate eyewear to adorn while driving at night to eliminate glare from headlight of other vehicles?
A. Just get lenses with anti-reflective
coating which will reduce the glare significantly by 90 percent and more.
Q. What is the
difference between anti-reflective lenses and polarized lenses?
A. Anti-reflective lenses simply cut
down the reflections bouncing back, caused by light and thereby increase transmission by reducing interference
resulting in crisp comfortable vision.
Polarized lenses cut off light from one whole meridian, thereby minimizing the glare of light that bounces off
water, the hood of your car or a shiny road surface. Polarized lenses are preferred by people who stay
outdoors and do a lot of driving.
Only sunglasses apply polarization, whereas anti-reflective coating is applied on both indoor and outdoor
glasses.
Q. Is it true that
dark tinted glasses offer better protection from invisible harmful rays?
A. Dark tinted glasses do not offer any
advantage as far as protection is concerned. In fact dark tinted lenses can be more harmful as the tint makes
your eye more comfortable as a result they open up more compared to usual conditions and hence more UV rays
come into the eyes. So, whenever wearing sunglasses outside ensure they have full UV proctection.
Q. What is the
importance of prisms on lenses?
A. Prisms bend light and separate white
light into its component colours. The prisms are used in lenses to keep eyes working together and aligned.
Q. Do prisms on
glasses help to cure the double vision problems?
A. As prisms bend light, they can make
your eyes seem working together in alignment without much strain. They can help in correcting the problem of
double vision to some extent by aligning two images into one.
Q. What does a
comprehensive eye exam comprise of?
A. Our optometrists use a variety of
tests and procedures with the help of technologically advanced equipments to examine your eyes thoroughly. The
tests range from simple ones, like reading an eye chart to complex tests like using high powered lens to
notice tiny structures inside your eyes.
A basic overview of the eye check-up process is as follows:
All eye checkups begin with an overall general examination with the torch. All examinations are done in dim
light conditions.
Retinoscopy
It is done to estimate your spectacle prescription objectively.
Auto refractors OR Aberrometers
Our optometrists use an auto refractor or an aberrometer to automatically determine your prescription. For
automatic prescription as in case of both device usage, a chin rests stabilizes your head and you are asked to
look at a pinpoint of light or other image.
An auto refractor evaluates the way an image is focused on your retina, where vision processing takes place,
while an aberrometer uses advanced wave front technology to detect even obscure vision errors based on the way
light travels through your eye. Aberrometers are used for custom or wave front LASIK vision correction
procedures.
