Can I get glasses?

You can, but the question is whether you need them or not. (I assume you are asking about actually needing glasses, rather than wanting to get a pair of fashionable eyeglass frames that are more for style than for vision problems.) If you are having problems seeing things that are far away, or things that are near to you; if your vision is blurry; if you have headaches when you read; or if you are not seeing objects clearly, these are signs you might need glasses. By the way, needing glasses is hereditary; there is an old myth that it is caused by "studying too much," but that's not true. Studying a lot can give you eye strain, but it won't necessarily mean you need glasses. The best way to find out is to see an eye doctor, also called an "optometrist." He or she can give you the proper tests and determine if glasses are right for you.

Can you take frames into an opticians?

I mean and then ask them to put prescription lenses in them:)

What is a sphere single visi eyeglass lens?

Does exercise help improve your concentration?

If you want to improve concentration then start with the health. A healthy person will have better concentration because he feels comfortable doing something. In order to have good concentration, one must be healthy.

First, you have to maintain a healthy life in order to have a healthy mind. Eat the right kind of food with the right amount because the kind of food you eat everyday will help you develop a sound mind. If you have a healthy body then it is more likely that you will have a better concentration which is easier to improve.

You can choose what exercise to do in order to improve your concentration. Concentration is right focus on something. Whether you are reading, watching a movie, listening to someone talking or doing something, your concentration is needed. It means that you have to have focus on what you are doing so that you can do it right.

Do some exercises. With the exercise, try counting and concentrating on what you are doing. Your mind will soon follow the rhythm of your daily exercise which will improve your concentration. Make sure that you are seriously following your exercise daily.

Try meditation if you cannot concentrate well. Sit down and make yourself comfortable. Just sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Begin by inhaling and exhaling. Try to concentrate on your breathing. Focus your attention to your breathing until you feel your body relax. Just continue breathing for at least thirty minutes. This will help your concentration improve. Meditation is a very good exercise because it doesn't only improve concentration but it helps the body relax.

Do not think of so many things at the same time. Try thinking of one thing at a time and concentrating on it for a long time before thinking of other things. If you are listening to someone, concentrate on what he is saying. Stop thinking of other things while you are listening because you cannot concentrate when your mind is wandering elsewhere.

Improving concentration is an exercise and self-discipline. The only person who can improve it is you.

Yes. Short sightedness (myopia) is an acquired characteristic. The baby may or may not have myopia when he is born, and may acquire long/short sightedness based on lifestyle. If two people lose their arms in an accident, their child won't be born handless. Similar logic applies.

What is the difference between 1.50 standard and 1.57 mid index lenses?

Standard index 1.5 lenses

Standard index 1.5 lenses are the basic CR-39 lenses, come with anti-scratch hard coating, and are shatter-resistant, suitable for spherical power +/- 2.00 or below, and cylindrical power +/- 1.50 or below.

Index 1.57 mid index spherical lenses

Index 1.57 spherical lenses are with anti-scratch hard coating. This higher index lens greatly reduces the thickness of the lens edge. This is suitable for spherical power of +/- 4.00 or below with cylindrical power +/- 2.00 or below.

Index 1.57 mid index aspherical lenses

Index 1.57 aspherical lenses are even thinner and lighter than 1.57 spherical lenses. These lenses come with anti-scratch and anti-reflective coating, greatly reducing the image distortion, suitable for spherical power of +/- 4.00 or below, and cylindrical power of +/- 2.00 or below.

High index would be anything greater than the 1.57 lenses, like 1.61 or 1.67 and so on. Each having a degree of benefits and drawbacks unique to it's making.
