Do blue light blocking glasses really work?

Because the product is relatively new, there isn’t a lot of definitive research on the subject. According to most advertisements, the benefits of blue light blocking glasses include improved sleep habits, less eye strain, and prevention of eye disease. But whether the product delivers on the promise is still up for debate.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology doesn’t endorse the glasses, stating that “there is no evidence that the kind or amount of light coming from computer screens is damaging to the eyes.” Other eye professionals, including The Vision Council and Samuel Pierce, former president of the American Optometric Association, will tell you that they can be helpful in reducing eye strain. Others have suggested that those who experience relief from the glasses may only be experiencing a placebo effect.

The general consensus so far seems to be that while there is no solid data backing up their effectiveness, many people who’ve tried the glasses claim to have found relief from wearing them.

How can you trace Cartier serial numbers?

I want to buy a Cartier watch yes its online, I want to find out how can I find if its a fake? This person has givin me the serial NUMBERS so this makes me feel a little better BUT,you can never be to safe.. So I just wanted to know if it a fake before I put out the cash! I'm not even sure if I will get my answer from here, but it don't hurt to try :-) Thanks -N.T.S

ANSWER:

I specialize in buying and selling Cartier watches. I've seen fakes with all the correct marks and a serial number, but that doesn't mean they are legitimate. If the watch was registered by Cartier when it was sold or if it has been sent in to Cartier for service Cartier will be able to verify it is authentic, but be aware that if the watch was not originally sold in North America or was not registered when sold (fairly common) it can still be authentic. Some sellers offer the Cartier quartz model for sale and only state that the watch has a quartz movement, but fail to mention if it has a Cartier quartz movement. If it has a replacement movement in it the watch is technically authentic, but not original and is not worth as much as one with an original or a genuine Cartier replacement movement. The biggest mistake I've seen amateur Cartier buyers make is using the Cartier micro-script signature on the Roman numeral to verify authenticity. Indeed this is a good indicator, but not the best indicator as there were many Cartier watches produced prior to the technology required to make the micro-script possible and not all Cartier watches have Roman numerals for the dial to have the micro-script signature. Furthermore, the micro-script is not always located at the same place and if the dial has been refinished it may not appear at all. Another common problem is actually caused by language differences, i.e. "all original versus "authentic". A watch can be authentic without being all original. Unless someone has owned the watch since it was new and it has never left their sight it is impossible for them to state the watch is "all original" as a part could have been replaced at some point in time -- even without their knowledge. Your best bet is to buy from a reputable seller even if you have to pay slightly more money. -- Cartier_Specialist

Sunglasses with tiny holes for lens?

Small hole glasses were all the rage in the 1980s and 1990s and are still used by many people today. Small perforated lenses have been used in ophthalmology for a long time, acting as artificial pupils. There are two types of small aperture mirrors in the ophthalmic fitting box. One is 3 mm in diameter, close to the size of a normal human pupil in normal conditions. One is 1 mm in diameter. The former is used by the ophthalmologist to understand the nature and extent of refractive error; the latter is used to identify the cause of vision loss.

Why do you think eyeglasses were invented before the microscope?

Eyeglasses only need one lens to work well, while microscopes needs several.

Can you glue the joints of your glasses?

It is never recommended to apply glue to spectacle frames or lenses. Super glue or epoxy may hold for a few days, but will quickly fail and render your glasses irreparable nearly every time.

The best course of action is to contact an experienced optician or eyeglass repair shop for repairs. In an emergency, tape is always a better solution than glue.

Why are so many people near-sighted?

Near sightedness or Myopia is mainly caused by the eye being too long, rays of light focus in front of the retina.

Far sightedness or Hyperopia is mainly caused by the eye being too short, rays of light focus behind the retina.

Lots of children are born with Hyperopia but "grow out" of it because as they, grow, the eye lengthens.

That is why more people are near sighted, you can't "grow out" of it.

How do you remove scratches on eyeglasses?

No, you can't remove scratches, since they are caused below the lens surface. However you can remove dirt, grease & smudge by washing gently with simple soap water and rinsing with clean water later on. The lens should not be wiped with cloth or paper. But the wetness should be gently blotted away using a clean lint free cloth. There is a product made for polishing plastic which removes some of the minor scratches on some lenses. However, if the scratches are through this protective coating or UV layer of protection, the lens cannot be repaired unless recoated or replaced with a new one. Check with the store where you purchased the glasses and see what guarantee or warranty may be in place to assist with the cost of repair or replacement. They would be the ones to ask for specific questions about your situation.

It was a book of recommendations made by Dr. Perricone for what he claimed would result in optimal skin and body health. While none of the recommendations were harmful in and of themselves (consume fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, avoid red meat and enriched wheat flour), the book makes claims for nearly immediately noticeable improvements in appearance that have little scientific backing. The book also contains a monster list of recommended supplements which have not been verified to produce any results in the 28 days Dr. Perricone claims will be noticeable- and are available on his site for a hefty pricetag.
