August 18, 2009 –The report on New York Times published on August 3, 2009 with the title “Making Eyeglasses That Let Wearers Change Focus on the Fly” attracts the eyes of eyeglasses wearers and people involved in eyeglasses industry, and thus igniting a heated debate about its prospect.
According to the NY Times report, the inventor Stephen Kurtin has created a new kind of glasses with a tiny adjustable slider on the bridge of the frame that makes it possible to focus alternately on objects in different distances.
Researches show that people over 40 years old are likely to suffer from presbyopia and in need of progressive eyeglasses. In the United States of America, there are 4000,000 people presbyopia sufferers every year, most of them are middle aged around the age of 35 to 50. Kurtin has spent nearly 20 years to create trifocals eyeglasses, which he believes can free nearly 2,000,000,000 people from multifocal eyeglasses.
While, since the report was released on NY Times, an intense discussion has been sparked.
As to the design, some questioned that the designer has obviously never worn progressive glasses because people don’t decide to focus on something and adjust the slider accordingly in real life. Everyone who wears progressive eyeglasses knows that people are always adjusting the focal points unconsciously.
Still, the glasses lens has three components and seems much thicker and bigger, which goes against the pursuit of most modern people. Most of net citizen show although they are in desire of adjustable-focus lenses, they don’t want heavy, large and round lenses. However, the company’s founders of TruFocal eyeglasses do not think the shape will be an obstacle for its popularity.
When it comes to the popularity, TruFocals glasses are hard to be accepted by all eyeglasses wearers due to its usability, while they may take some market share among office workers who need to look at computer screens and read books, magazines and newspapers as well.
Speak of the price, one of the most important points consumers would take into consideration when they are engaged in shopping, TruFocals glasses show no preponderance. A pair of TruFocals eyeglasses is sold at $895, which is rather expensive than any other eyeglasses. One net citizen shows, thousands of regular prescription glasses in sound quality are available online less than $100; no one will spend so much on a pair of eyeglasses.
It is the general rule that anytime a new thing is born, there is sure some discussions arousing. Newly-emerged things always have to experienced difficulties and setbacks as they grow. Let’s wait expectantly for the prospect of the new invention in eyeglasses industry.

Glassesshop.com-Pay attention to baby's eyes
Rubella vaccine should be injected in advance.
If mother-to-be infects with rubella virus in the early time, it is greatly possible to influence the development of the baby’s eyes directly although there may be no great harm to the mother herself. If possible and unlucky, it will lead to the happening of congenital cataract. Therefore, it is a very effective way to prevent the baby from having congenital cataract by injecting rubella vaccine before the pregnancy.
Prenatal education is of great importance.
Appropriate outdoor activities to enjoy the sunshine will be helpful to the absorption of calcium. Suitable amount of sun exposure is also good to the development of the baby’s visual cells and cornea. This is called the Light Prenatal Education.
Pay attention to take in sufficient vitamins.
Vitamin A: it is known to us that vitamin A has great important function of helping the development of the body’s cells and the growth of the eyes. When the body is short of vitamin A, the ability for the eyes seeing things at night will decline. If this bad situation continues, it may develop into the dry eyes—you will feel it is rather dry in the eyes and the cornea becomes thick. Food rich in vitamin A could be livers of different animals, carrot, leak, spinach, egg yellow, and so on. It is suggested by doctors that these mother-to-be should take in about 5000 international units per day.
Vitamin B1: this vitamin has the determinative effect on the growth and development of the baby’s brain and helps to perfect the nervous system of the baby’s eyes. Vitamin B1 could be largely found in the food such as wheat, fish, meat, and so on. Mother-to-be should take in about 1.5 mg per day.
Vitamin B2: generally speaking, there are two types of vitamin B2—riboflavin and nicotinic acid. Riboflavin could guarantee the normal metabolism of the retina and cornea; and lack of nicotinic acid will bring about optic neuritis and retinitis. Many foods have great amount of vitamin B2, such as milk, lean meat, lentils, and other green vegetables. Mother-to-be should need about 1.5 mg a day.
Vitamin C: it could improve the resistance ability and help the growth of corneal epithelium and the repair of the mucosal tissue so as to prevent the happening of cataract. Fresh fruit and vegetable is the best food resource of vitamin C. The amount that mother-to-be should have is about 100 mg per day.
If mothers-to-be could pay more attention during the whole process and develop good habits in their daily life, the born baby would be pretty healthy and beautiful, especially with a pair of bright and healthy eyes.

Why Save the Usage of Eyes
Summer is the season of the highest temperature in a year, so the metabolism in human body is very active. Generally speaking, many people are so easy to be influenced by the high temperature in summer that their physiological functions and appetite tend to change. So in this hot summer day, how to adjust our body to the best state? Below we prepare for you some knowledge on keeping healthy. Wish you have a good summer day.
Eyesight is a kind of limited resource.
Save water! Save electricity! Save time! From childhood to present, we have listened to countless edification like that. Due to the limit of the resource above, we need to save them. If we devour these limited resources, there must be the day of exhaustion. In fact, eyesight is also a kind of limited resource, so we need to protect it and save the usage of eyes.
Although the cause of myopia is not very clear yet, it is proved by lots of social surveys and experiments on animals that there are obvious causality between the occurrence of myopia and overdraft of eyes in watching near objects during the adolescence when eyes are still growing. Take the adolescent myopia sufferers who have the average extra reading time of less than two hours as reference, the number of adolescents who tend to read three hours after class are 2.1 times of the former ones. As for the adolescents who read for four to five hours after class, the number comes up to 3.2 times.
From the statistics shown in the above example, we could know that the overuse of eyes in watching near objects is the main reason for adolescents to get myopia. Early in 1980, a foreign scholar called Wallman did an experiment with chicklings. Through the experiment, he found that the chicklings which spent long time in watching near objects would get myopia of strong strength, while the chicklings which not only observed near objects but also watched objects beyond or spent long time in watching objects beyond didn’t have any problem in their eyes. Since, there are some other experiments also proving that overuse of eyes in watching near objects is the main cause of getting myopia.
All of these facts tell us that, during the adolescence, the time of watching near objects is a limited resource. If we consumer it excessively, some diseases would come into our eyes. Therefore, it is necessary for us to save the usage of eyes.

Have you ever felt astonished about the rising occurrence rate of myopia in small children? Have you ever thought about why does our children’s vision so rapidly deteriorate at such an early age? If you are a concerned parent, you may want to know the causes of myopia and the proper methods to prevent your children from becoming near-sighted.
The causes of myopia can be divided into two categories: one is due to the hereditary factors and the other is formed because of the unhealthy habits. The latter, of course, is the result of the excessive amount of reading and other close work such as playing computer games and watching TV for too long.
So what can we parents do to help protect our children’s delicate eyes? Firstly, pay attention to your children’s behavior especially when they are young. You should set rules for them to follow in order to help form a good habit. For example, always remember to wash the hands when coming home from outside, and never scratching the eyes. All these can prevent the eyes from getting the contagious eye diseases. What’s more, as a responsible parent, you should be tireless in adjusting children’s sitting position when they are reading and writing. And proper light is needed in the room in order to get rid of the shadows on the desk. Always remember to ask them to take a rest after doing close work for over 40 minutes. In addition, enough nutrition can never be neglected. Scientific researches have already proved that absorbing plenty of antioxidants and minerals can help reducing the risk of developing eye problems. We all know that fresh vegetables and fruits which contain plenty of vitamins and other minerals are indispensible for adults, let alone growing children. However, sweet food like candies, cookies which can raise the cause of myopia, should not be allowed to eat too much.
As concerned parents, we all want to do our best to save our children’s eyes, though they may still be too young to notice the importance of healthy eyes. Take steps from now on, and we can one day receive the gratitude from our children.

I have not had the habit of eating fish ever since I was a little child; in a word, I am not interested in that kind of flavor. My mother used various kinds of methods to persuade me to eat it, but I just have a deep sense of contradicting fish. Whenever I went out with my friends, they also tried to make me eat some fish, by keeping on saying the importance of the nutrition that is contained in fish. I have been considered a strange person by almost all the people surrounding me.
But during these days, I began trying to take in some fish. This is really a surprise even to me. My mother calls this as a breakthrough. But there is also a reason for this breakthrough.
When I went to the hospital to have my eyes examined last week, the doctor said that I must put aside my personal habit of avoiding fish. She said that the nutrition in fish cannot be found in other food, and that is very essential for the health of the eyes.
She added that to eat fish does not mean that it will do a certain good effect for my eyes’ health, but to keep on avoiding eating it will certainly do some bad effect to the eyes, especially for me, whose body is not very strong and illness-battled.
So after a long night of thinking about this problem, I began to break my former habit. The different types of my eyes’ problems have maintained over the last ten years, at least I thought so. Then I will change my stubborn idea to check out if fish is really essential for me.
In former times, I don’t believe in the theory of balance among different nutrition. I thought that to eat enough for my daily activities is just where the significance of taking meals lies in. But now, although this kind of false idea is put out of my brain, many of the bad habits remain till now.
Maybe all I need is just a change.

They have a high hardness and a good wearing resistance. Generally speaking, their quality and parameter will not change over time. But in the aspects of impact resistance and weigh, they are inferior to optical resin lenses. As for optical resin lenses, they are lighter than glass lenses and have a better impact resistance. But their surfaces are less hard so they are easily grazed. Just for the sake of their softness, they should not be come up against hard things. When you wash and clean them, you had better use clean water first and then blot the water with special cloth or paper.
As for choosing eyeglasses frames, apart from price and beauty, you should pay more attention that the size of the frames matches the interpupillary distance. When considering the quality of glasses, you should notice the following points. First, glasses frames with a good elasticity are usually in good quality. Second, if there is a smooth and shining glasses frame, the glasses have a fairly good quality. Third, the wielding spots of good glasses should be smooth, small and steady. Fourth, the parts should be assembled closely. Fifth, the lenses at both sides should be in the same size and shape. And the glasses should be bilateral symmetry with nose as an axis.
With all the things above, I think you can choose and buy a pair of suitable glasses for you yourself.

“Myopia also called nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is a refractive defect of the eye in which collimated light produces image focus in front of the retina when accommodation is relaxed. ” To know how the myopia forms can help us prevent and control the disease.
The nearsighted eye has no difficulty viewing nearby objects. But the ability to view distant objects requires that the light be refracted less. Myopia will result if the light from distant objects is refracted more than is necessary. The problem is most common as a youth, and is usually the result of a bulging cornea or an elongated eyeball. If the cornea bulges more than its customary curvature, then it tends to refract light more than usual. This tends to cause the images of distant objects to form at locations in front of the retina. If the eyeball is elongated in the horizontal direction, then the retina is placed at a further distance from the cornea-lens system. Subsequently, the images of distant objects form in front of the retina. On the retinal surface, where the light-detecting nerve cells are located, the image is not focused. These nerve cells thus detect a blurry image of distant objects. A major way about the reason of the formation of myopia is the combination of genetic and environmental factors. In one hand, to the genetic reason, myopia has high heritability. If your parents are high myopia, you may have risk to inherit the nearsightedness. In another hand, to the environmental factors, usually, we can find the direct connections between environmental reasons and myopia. People especially in teenage, in unhealthy lifestyles that don’t pay much attention to their eye hygiene, such as reading in dimmed situation and wrong position, lack of sleep. The eyes become strained by the constant extra work involved in “near-work” and get stuck in the near position.
The cure for the nearsighted eye is to equip it with a diverging lens. Since the nature of the problem of myopia is that the light is focused in front of the retina, a diverging lens will serve to diverge light before it reaches the eye. This light will then be converged by the cornea and lens to produce an image on the retina. It is very important to wear the right glasses. You can get it from the doctor, some professional titanium eyewear company, even from some glasses-selling webs. And it is also important to have a proper diet, do eye excises and keep enough sleep for people who are nearsighted. Eyes are the windows of our hearts. It will be no use putting glasses on them. I hope those information can help you!

Whether it is a week-long vacation along the beach or a five-minute trip to the grocery store, you wear sunglasses in summer. What about your 7-year-old son? He builds sand castles for hours during which you finished several issues of People through your dark lenses; he circles your house for a thousand times on a blazing afternoon when you are hiding under the shade of that giant oak tree in your yard and complaining with your neighbor about how unbearable the heat is; he splashes water to anyone who gets near enough in a public pool without feeling tired or bored; he constantly exposes himself to bright, strong and harmful sunlight without noticing it. Children’s eyes are also vulnerable to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Sunglasses are on longer a privilege of adults. Here are some great tips to help you ensure a great vision for the next generation.
Go for the polycarbonate.
Children seem to have endless energy to run after each other, climb trees, hide themselves in you wardrobe, doing dangerous things behind your back. You don’t want lenses made of glass or plastics shatter if you kids trip. Polycarbonate is a kind of virtually indestructible material. Pay close attention to the tag to make sure the lenses reach the industrial standards for impact resistance.
Do not trust the tint.
The darker, the better? The answer is no. You are trying to protect the vision of your kids instead of casting for the next James Bond movie. Sometimes dark tint is even worse than no sunglasses since pupils constrict in bright lights but dark lens fools the pupils into expanding, permitting more radiation.
Price does not equal protection.
Do not take it for granted that price is an indicator for protection. You may be paying for the frames and I don’t think it is important care whether his sunglasses are in or not. Good lenses are not necessarily expensive ones.
Be cautious in front of advisement.
Do not let ads take the advantages of you. Some of them simply want to scare you into purchasing their products. Keep in mind there is no conclusive research in this area. Consult your ophthalmologist before reaching for your checkbook.
