Sunglasses For Men and Women

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 17:05:29 +0000

Wearing sunglasses usually have many benefits to offer us, aside from the protection against the sun’s UV rays that destroys our eyes, it also protects against small particles that might accidentally get in like dusts and dirt. Going out under the heat of the sun makes it hard for us to have a clear visibility, wearing a darker one helps out to filter too much light. There are many different types of sunglasses, like for sports enthusiasts such as for golf sunglasses and fishing sunglasses that of course goes well while you’re doing your favorite activity,cool isn’t it?! The design and style varies from men’s sunglasses to women’s sunglasses, especially on shapes and colors. But there are the so called unisex one that can go both of them.

Kaenon Polarized has introduced a different and yet beneficial effect on eyewear bringing a more quality made products as polarization of the lenses eliminates the glare created by some other harmful substances and other reflective surfaces and also help in reducing eye strain. Kaenon Polarized product is the patented SR-91 – the most advanced polarized lens, it offers razor-sharp clarity, impact-protection, superior scratch-resistance and also available in prescription lenses for those who got eye grades, cool yet functional eye wear.

Dizzy Spells

It’s been a week since I experience bouts of dizziness, not that I am pregnant fyi. LOL! maybe it’s because of too much spending time in front of the computer. I am thinking of getting a new pair of glasses and I am now looking for Lowest Price Progressive Glasses since we’re on a tight budget, especially that epenses are piling this month. Upon reading Eric’s Review of Zenni Optical, I am convinced that budget and quality wise getting one from The #1 online Rx glasses store is definitely worth my money.

My New Eyeglasses

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:15:00 +0000

Modeled by my DS. ahaha!

Bought this new frame few weeks ago to a nearby Optical shop, but didn’t pursue in having the lenses’ grade done in their shop since the price is way too high and out of the budget. The optometrist told me that since my eyes grade is too high, the lenses are on a special order basis. It will take 2 – 4 weeks before it can be done, lenses will come in plastic and had it Ultra-thinned. She billed me P7k, just for the lenses! That a big no for me!

Since the frame costs hefty already, we decided to go to P. Paterno in Quiapo, it is where you can find lots of supplier of eyeglasses to optical shops, we went to Abesamis Optical shop, wherein I had my lenses done before. Got a good deal on the lenses, half the price from where I bought my frames! It really pays to go around to find some good deals.

And the prescription:

I am actually clueless on what these numbers mean. lol! but the optometrist told me that my eyes grades are way up high. So I need to take extra care of it.

and so I searched the net for abbreviations and terms of prescription HERE

D.V. is an abbreviation for “distance vision”. This specifies the part of the prescription designed primarily to improve far vision. In a bifocal lens, this generally indicates what is to be placed in the top segment.

N.V. is an abbreviation for “near vision”. This may represent a single-vision lens prescription to improve near work, or the reading portion of a bifocal lens. Some prescription forms use “ADD” in place of “N.V.” with a single box to indicate the additional refractive power to be added to the spherical of each eye.

O.D. is an abbreviation for oculus dexter, Latin for “right eye.” (Some eyeglass prescriptions simply say “left” and “right” instead of “O.S.” and “O.D.”) Oculus means “eye” (as in “oculist,” an old term for an eye doctor).

O.S. is an abbreviation for oculus sinister, Latin for “left eye”.

O.U. is an abbreviation for oculi uterque, Latin for “both eyes”.

A spherical correction corrects refractive error of the eye with a single convergent or divergent refractive power in all meridians.

A cylindrical correction corrects astigmatic refractive error of the eye by adding or subtracting power cylindrically in a meridian specified by the prescribed axis.
