Technology Advancement in Prescription Sunglasses

When it comes to eyewear, prescription sunglasses at designer optics are hogging the spotlight. But, you can see advancement in the technology design for those who are stuck with old-fashioned prescription eyeglasses. Around 64% of Americans have been improving the vision by wearing prescription glasses. You cannot say that the glasses are cumbersome or create a headache, or do not allow working in different situations. 

 

In modern times, the amount of people working on a computer is growing. As a result, it has raised the concern for damaging effects on the eyesight. Thus, it is spurring innovation among the eye specialists who believed that the glasses industry is stagnant. Benjamin Franklin has invented the bifocals for people working on mobile phones and the personal computer.

 

·       Futuristic lenses 

Now, the companies are designing various solutions to help the glass wearers. One of them is the futuristic lenses. Even an iPhone app can help people to wean the glasses, according to the developers. The area of focus is reducing the strain over the eyes. You can sit and spend multiple hours staring at the computer or mobile screen. The light emitted from the devices was damaging the eyesight, but now new lenses are protected from the harmful effects.

 

·       Blue-Tech Lenses 

Blue-Tech lenses include melanin; it is a natural pigment found in the eye's iris. The motive of the lenses is to filter out the blue light and UVA radiation. It will allow the Innocuous light to pass through them. The melanin will provide yellowish hue to the Bluetech glasses, and it is also available for all the prescription. The lenses will reduce eyestrain and fatigue while spending long hours on computers. 

 

Doctors are saying that spending long hours on the mobile phone is harmful to the eyes, so companies are encouraged to use the Blue-tech lenses. 

 

·       Smart glasses or Contact lenses 

Prescription sunglasses will have smart lenses for vision impairments. Smart glasses are a seamless product with the integration of technology as it will allow the users to connect with the Internet and record and upload videos and pictures. Multiple companies are developing different types of contact lenses and smart glasses for viewers. They are fitted with sensors to read the chemical level in tears and measure the blood pressure while staring at mobile phones. 

 

The future of eyewear is bright with smart and contact lenses. If you need prescription lenses, then you should know about technological advancements. 

 

·       IPhone app for enhancing near-vision 

GlassesOff Inc. is planning to launch an iPhone app for improving the near-vision sharpness. Human eye-vision is based on two factors – the quality of the image captured through the eyes and the human brain's image processing capability. The interpretation of the image should be the right one for clear vision. After spending fifteen minutes on the program, the user can improve the brain's image processing function. As a result, there is a better interpretation of the image. 

The application is available for each individual, and progress is made. The goal or motive of the company is to wean the reading glasses-off for people. 

 

·       Adjustable glasses with fluid-filled lenses 

Users can adjust the lenses over the nose with the slider option. There is a change in the focus of the lens and eliminates the switching requirement of glasses. The demand for the bifocals is increasing in the market as it offers a clear vision. The lenses have taken many years to develop and provide the benefit to the users. If you want to make a lens with the commercial attributes, then change the shape of bifocals.

 

Summing up 

In a nutshell, the future of prescription glasses is becoming bright. There are several ways available to induce technological advancements in eyeglasses. The products and services with the advancements will meet the requirements of viewers. There is an improvisation in the eyesight with the smart glasses with contact lenses.
