When people become presbyopic as they age through their forties and beyond, making eyeglasses
to correct for the combinations of their visual problems becomes more complex. |
|
The optician now has the challenge of combining distance vision, intermediate vision and reading
into one pair of eyeglasses. In addition to correcting for nearsightedness or farsightedness, further
complications can arise in the prescription from against the rule or oblique astigmatisms and diplopia. |
|
Given these challenges, the optician must be precise in crafting eyeglasses that will help presbyopic
patients to see clearly. The technology required to make invisible progressive lenses that achieve a
sharper, clearer image for the presbyopic patient is finally available. |
|
Earlier generations of progressive lenses to correct for presbyopia often caused unwanted side effects
such as a swimming effect and peripheral distortions. With new lens grinding technology used by world
renowned companies such as Carl Zeiss, Essilor, Nikon, Hoya and Rodenstock, all the areas of distortion
known in prior invisible bifocals have been virtually removed. In most cases, eyeglass wearers cannot
even tell there is a progressive in the lens at all. |
|
In addition to advances in the technology in how the lenses are ground and designed, the new
generation of glare-free coatings used on these premium quality lenses complement the exclusive
grinding processes, resulting in a much sharper and clearer image than was ever available to
presbyopic patients before. |
|
The anti-glare feature along with an accurate prescription and these new technology lenses gives
incredible vision when driving your vehicle at night. |
|
Before you buy another pair of eyeglasses, become informed about today’s options. |
|
What kind of eyeglasses can you expect for what you are willing to pay? |
|
Also be aware of the marketing style of the optical company you are dealing with.
Those who emphasize getting your eyeglasses to you in a hurry or offer major discounts can
be making compromises in the individual attention given to the customer and mistakes are commonly
found in these eyeglasses. |
|
In order to give the required attention to detail, highly skilled optical professionals usually take an
hour or longer just in the fitting and evaluation process to create the perfect pair of eyeglasses
that ultimately deliver a sharper clearer vision. The initial hour does not include ordering time,
manufacturing, or delivery. |
There are four main phases involved in the production of quality eyeglasses. |
|
1. One must always start off with a high quality eye examination. |
|
2. A thorough and comprehensive fitting process must be completed. |
3. Premium quality eyeglass lenses need to be obtained from the
world’s leading premium eyeglass manufacturers. |
|
4. The manufacturing of the eyeglasses must be done by skilled lab technicians under stringent
quality controlled conditions using the most technologically advanced system of cutting, edging
and drilling equipment. |
 |
|
The margin of error for getting the “sweet spot” of the lens right in front of the pupil is
much less as people develop presbyopia (illustrated above), and the crafting of precision
perfect eyeglasses takes time and skill. |
 |
|
Many presbyopic patients, after having bad experiences with previous generations of progressive
lenses have given up trying to accomplish the sharper clearer vision they deserve. In light of the
advances made in recent years, you may want to forget your prior experience with bad invisible
bifocals, and try the most advanced option available to you today. |
