When someone needs to wear corrective eyeglasses, and chooses not to wear them, then that means their minds aren’t functioning with the clearest vision possible. Around 90% of a person’s reactive ability while driving relies on eye sight. When someone chooses not to wear eyeglasses, he puts himself and others at risk. Also, kids refusing to wear eyeglasses can face minor or major injuries while playing which could have been avoided if they had a correct vision.

However, long term effects of not wearing eyeglasses might result in an incomplete development of the eyes. The fall of a clear image to the retina assists the eyes to develop. Hence, if the vision isn’t crystal clear, it prevents the eyes from developing.    

People who face problem viewing objects located far away, fall in the category of near sightedness. An eyeglass prescription for someone who is near sighted will have minus power. A near-sighted person who doesn’t wear prescription glasses might run the risk of developing lazy eyes.

When someone with weak eyesight works hard to focus on nearby objects, they fall in the category of farsightedness. When a far-sighted individual doesn’t wear corrective glasses, then their eyes will have to work harder to focus on a particular object that often leads to fatigue or headaches. A common complaint with far sighted kids is that they dislike reading. They generally are able to accommodate their sight to focus on far sighted objects but face long term effects if their vision is not rectified.

We at GKB Opticals believe personalization is extremely important when it comes to optimizing performance with modern day corrective lenses. Several factors like position of the eyes, the angle and position of the frame and the calculative distance between pupils make prescription glasses unique for every wearer.

How To Buy Spectacle Online : The Step By Step Guide

The First Step: Choosing the Frame Size  

The frame size is important since not everyone has the same build or facial structure. The Frame size determines the temple size, Lens size and bridge size. So it’s best to use an existing pair that fits you perfectly and measure it and then buy a new pair having the same dimensions.

The Second Step: Glasses that Match

After you’ve decided upon the required spectacle frame size, it’s time to choose The design is an important factor of buying spectacle. Each individual has a distinct face shape, so it’s important to know your face shape. That way you can have clear concept about what shapes would go well with your face shape.

The Third Step: Try On Different Frames

Now that you know your face shape, it’s time to try on glasses to see which design suits your face shape. Try on different frame shapes, colored frames and patterns to determine what goes well with your lifestyle, looks and attire. This is also an individualistic decision and if you’re baffled with the choices, ask a close friend or relative.

The Fourth Step: Prescription Type (Single or Multifocal)

Depending on the type of refractive error you have, or the type of vision correction you require, your prescription would be different. If you just require vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness or presbyopia, you will require single vision lenses. If you have to get correction for dual refractive errors of multiple refractive errors, you will need multifocal lenses. So, understanding your prescription is important.

The Fifth Step: Progressive Lens Material

If you have to take progressive lenses to suit your vision correction needs, it’s best to know the options you have in terms of lens material. The available materials for progressive lenses can be plastic, glass, polycarbonate and more. Your budget and your doctor’s suggestion can determine which type of lenses would be best for you.

The Sixth Step: Lens Coating

Lens coatings can be important and can help your glasses become more functional. The available coatings include ARC or Anti Reflective coating to reduce the reflections. Photo chromic treatment can help you use them as sunglasses. Hard Coating can help you increase the longevity of the lens. Scratch Resistant coating also helps keep the lenses protected from scratches. Also there are specialized treatments like Anti Smudge coating, hydrophobic coating, oleophobic coating and more.

The Seventh Step: Knowing your Pupillary Distance (PD)

PD distance is the distance between the centers of the pupils in each eye. While the lenses are prepared it’s important to position lenses correctly in relation to the centre of the pupils for high powered lenses due to the location of the optical centre of the lenses. This creates optical lenses with zero errors and gives best vision. So it’s important to know the PD value and your optometrist will know how to determine it.

The Eight Step: Understand Your Prescription Details

If you’re ordering eyeglasses online, you must know your prescription details and values. The details you enter would be taken as the final while ordering so it’s important that you know the values well. In this regard it’s best to consult with the customer support team or simply scan the prescription details and mail it to the customer service team if you’re not sure about how to fill up the sheet.

The Ninth Step: The Final Step

After completing all steps, now it’s time to place the order. Check all the values you have entered thrice to eliminate all chances of errors. Also ask a friend or family member to check the values added, so that there are no mistakes. Once done, lenses cannot be redone, so it’s important that you do not mess up the values. Review your order and check the final amount depending on your prescription strength, choice of lens material, added coatings or treatments and other added features. For any assistance, do not hesitate to call up the Customer support team of trained optical assistants to get any questions answered or any doubts cleared.

The Final Step: Receive Your Order

After you place the order, it’s time for waiting. The lenses need time to be manufactured and this usually takes a bit of time. After the lenses are made and are fitted into the frame it’s checked for quality and fitted as per your requirements. Then they are packed and shipped out. Now, finally you can check out your eyeglasses and enjoy the clear vision.
