Glasses and Eyewear

No, they do not, Glasses work by altering the way light reaches your eyes. This is equivalent to the way the lens inside your eye works. All it does is correct for an aberration in the shape of your eyes, allowing you to bring objects in focus.

When light changes from traveling in one medium to another, it will 'bend' or refract. However, water and your eye basically have the same refractive index, so the light will barely bend (unlike in air.) Your lens can't properly compensate for the lack of the refraction, so a normal person would become more farsighted, a farsighted person would become even more farsighted. However, a severely nearsighted person would get closer to normal as their eye defects compensate more for the lack of refraction.

From this question, it seems that you are probably over 40 years old and you are currently in bifocals for near vision with nearsighted correction for distance on the top part of your glasses. We see many patients with this situation and LASIK can work for you, and here is how.

First of all, the LASIK can correct the vision for the distance vision assuming that you are otherwise a candidate for this procedure. It can correct fairly large amounts of nearsightedness as well as astigmatism. This solves your distance vision issue, but not the near vision.

For near vision you would have a choice of either getting some "over the counter" type reading glasses, or you could have one eye purposely undercorrected for monovision. In monovision one eye is focused for distance whereas the other for near. Many have worn contact lenses with this configuration successfully and it works for a lot of people with LASIK but a word of caution.

Not everyone like monovision. It can reduce the depth perception, and for people who critically need sharp distance vision may not be ideal. You should try this with simulation by contact lenses or glasses before making this a permanent change. The other option is to have what is known as modified monovision, and here the one eye is left less nearsighted which makes this an easier transition. The downside is that you would still need some glasses for reading smaller print. Your doctor can review these different options with you and help you to pick out which if any type of monovision would work for you.

We see many patients over the age of 40 who are extremely happy with their LASIK correction. Many do not mind reading glasses alone, and some are pleased with monovision. It really depends on how nearsighted you are to begin with. In general if you are very dependent on glasses, you will appreciate this, but if you can take your glasses off and read well, you might not be a good candidate.

I have the exact same prescription. The 1.25 is in my dominant eye tho so its been bugging me enough to get a pair of glasses to have for night driving and days of intense studying/reading. If you're getting headaches or squinting it may be time.

Your right eye RX (OD) is very weak. Your left eye RX (OS) is rather mild.

atoms vibrate, causing it to heat up. Making it transparent.

Humans must blink their eyes to moisten them, and to keep them free of debris and dirt. Recent research indicates that blinking also allows humans's brains to take a microsecond mini-break.

you will need:

1 pair of real d 3d glasses, or real d glasses from the movie theater(if you dont have any just get some the next time you watch a movie)

masking tape, duckt tape, or any color tape you have besides clear.

1. poke out the lenses in the 3d glasses. it might be a little hard, but if you put pressure they will come out.

2.wrap the colored tape around the name of the product(example: if you have real d 3d glasses, it will say real d 3d somewhere on there. tape it around there and on the other side.)

than put some in the middle of where the lenses used to be.

3. put them on and you have nerd glasses!!!

(p.s: im wearing mine right now!)

You can choose from many different services at a beauty salon. These consist of hair cuts and styles, nail services, tanning, massages, and facials. These services can range in cost from just a few dollars to hundreds.

No. Although contact lenses have the benefit of covering the entire field of view, and do away with the drawbacks of having a pair of glasses that can fall off, they also contribute in many ways to the development of eye diseases. Contact lenses, when improperly handled, can cause irreparable damage to the cornea.

Many stores carry stylish eye glasses for cheap. Target and Walmart are great stores to start with. They will offer a large selection at a low price.

Polarized lenses are used in sunglasses to reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as the surface of a lake or the hood of a car. They accomplish this feat through a process called polarization, much like a venetian blind controls sunlight through a window.

Contact lenses are for farsight. If your reading to close to words with your contacts on, your putting to much power for your eyes to use. so your eyes get blurry and its hard to see. so don't read words nearsight with contacts in.

When the light hits the lens of the eye glasses, it bends the light. This makes the light rays focus onto the retina (the back of the eye). Take a clear drinking glass and fill it half way. Put a pencil in the water. When you look at the pencil through the side of the glass, it will no longer look straight. When the light rays travel through the air then hit the water which is more dense the light rays are slowed down and then when the light rays exit the water they leave at a slightly different angle.When the lower part of the pencil is in the water it makes the pencil look fat.

No it does not, infact it may damage it futher from squinting and straining your eyes all the time to try and see things. Wearing your glasses does not improve it either, but it eases up the strain and slows degredatin. cool thanks

You need a T6 screw driver to remove the screw, once you do this it's simply just taking out and putting in the new lenses. Just be careful not to loose the rubber gasket that goes between the frame where you took the screw out.

Perhaps the new glasses were not made correctly. And different materials can make a big difference in the ability to see. I dislike the polychromate materials, as they blur colors and really are difficult for me to use. Go back to the place you bought them and have them check to insure they were made properly and that they match the perscription.

advantages: high sales , new customers , new technology,

disadvantages:pay clinical costs , buy machinary, products, be competive

There are many good places to get eye glasses from including, Frames Direct, Lens Crafters and Zenni Optical, all of which provide excellent eye care.

I would try online. Many forms are online these days.

Yes and they are gorgeous especially with black eyeliner and rainbow glitter and eyeshadow its a gre at way to look like a fairy in public

You can get them at WWW.EYEMOODS.com

1. sphere, standard lens shape (convex or concave) to correct focus
2. cylinder, cylinder shape (both magnitude and angle) to correct astigmatism
3. prism, wedge shape (very rare) to correct the direction the eye is looking (sometimes used to compensate for double vision)

The nasal bone is associated with wearing glasses because it holds the glasses in place.

yes. i know this because my bro is coulerblind and he has polarized sunglasses.
