Q&A of Eyeglasses

These days we've received lots of feedback  from our customers. Some of them share their great wearing experience and some of them reflect their  questions during the process.

It's usual to have some doubts about the glasses. And today we'd like to share some frequently asked questions and answers with you. And we do hope that these answers can also help you.

          

Q1: Why do my glasses leave indents on the sides of my nose?

A1:  When the nose pads are not properly adjusted or they are too tight, all the pressure goes on the nose instead of being evenly distributed on the nose, head width and ears, leaving indents. It can be easily solved with appropriate adjustments by a professional.

Q2: Why do my glasses leave an ache behind my ears?

A2: If the arms of the frame are bent too tightly around the ears, you will end up with unbearable ache behind the ears and deep indents around the nose. This is easily solved by loosening the arms and adjusting them properly.

Q3: When buying reading glasses off the rack in an emergency, how do I know which strength to go for?

A3: Off the shelf spectacles are only good for an emergency as they cannot perfectly correct your prescription. It is always better to have them slightly weaker rather than stronger than your usual prescription. Get a book or a magazine and try to read with the weakest prescription you can get away with. 

Q4: How do I clean my glasses, and keep them clean?

A4: The most basic, efficient option is Fairy Liquid. Run your glasses under water and put a tiny drop of dishwashing detergent on the tip of your finger to create lather on the lens. Then rinse with warm water and dry with a microfibre cloth. As most lenses nowadays have anti scratch and anti-reflection coating, they should be kept away from chemicals and high temperatures.

Q5: I have trouble finding glasses that don't slide off my nose. What can be done?

A5: Frame width, bridge size and fitting should be taken into consideration. Most of the time all you need is a professional adjustment and the frame won’t slide off.

Q6: Why do titanium frames cost so much
and are they worth the money?

A6: Titanium is a light, strong and flexible non-corrosive material suitable for those with metal allergies. Despite their cost, titanium frames are worth the money if you are looking for a metal option, as they are more durable than ‘ordinary’ frames.

Q7: Are you ever too old to consider having laser treatment for short sightedness?

A7: Technically old age is not an issue. From a practical point of view there is a need to consider presbyopia, i.e. a person may need to wear reading glasses or may need monovision surgery. There is also a chance of cataract or other medical conditions, but if your eyes are healthy then there is no upper age limit.
