Caring for your Eyeglasses

So you’ve finally decided on getting those beautiful designer eyeglasses.  Now that you’ve finally received them, you have to make sure that you care for them.  Eyeglasses normally have a lifespan of more than 2 years, depending on how often your vision changes.  However, if your vision has been pretty regular, and doesn’t really change, you can push for a longer period of time, maybe like 3-5 years of wear.  The only way you can do that, though, is to take extremely good care of your eyeglasses.  Here’s an easy to follow list of things that you should do to take care of your eyeglasses.

It’s all in the cloth

Ideally, you have a portable micro fiber cloth that you are able to stash with you wherever you go.  For the love of your glasses, refrain from cleaning your glasses with your paper towels or conventional tissues.  The surface of paper towels and tissues is much too rough for your eyeglasses.  It would be better for you to use your tee shirt to clean your eyeglasses than paper products.  So, respect your glasses, and invest in some cleaning materials.

Proper moisture

Your glasses should be moistened before you start cleaning them.  Whether you use soap and water, or a liquid specifically engineered for eyeglasses, it doesn’t matter.  Just as long as the surface is lubricated before you start cleaning.

Your eyes are a very big part of who you are.  If you treat your eyeglasses right, your eyes will be happy.  And part of staying happy is making sure you look great.  Check out the fabulous selection of designer eyeglasses at glassescrafter.com .  Your eyes will be happy they did, and your wallet will rejoice at all the money you have left.

An Eye For Nutrition

As the cartoons of yesteryear referenced the perfect eyesight of rabbits, nutritionists are now touting the importance of ingesting the right vitamins for eye health.  There are a variety of vitamins available at markets which say that they could help overall eye health, or even vision.  Here’s a condensed list of the most commonly recommended vitamins

Vitamin A

Remember those references to carrots being good for your eyes?  Well it seems there is some truth to that statement.  Foods rich in Vitamin A, such as carrots, oranges, spinach, egg yolks, dried apricots and liver can help your overall vision, and even night vision.

Lutein

Lutein is a carotenoid that is normally found in dark, leafy veggies, corn and eggs.  Lutein has been found to be beneficial for overall eye health.  So make sure to get it through a well-balanced diet or a vitamin supplement

Zinc

Zinc is a mineral that has been found to be present in just about every cell of your body.  So taking a zinc supplement should be on your list of things to do daily.  Since it’s recommended to get at least 40-80 mg per day, it might be difficult to get through your diet.  In addition, ingesting too much zinc can be dangerous, so monitor what you take when it comes to zinc.

Keeping your eyes healthy isn’t really difficult.  Just make sure to take the recommended vitamins, and eat a balanced diet.  And when you get around to looking for eye ware, remember that glassescrafter.com has a great selection of designer eye glasses at very affordable prices.

Your eyes at work

Your eyes do a lot for you.  They keep you out of danger, and they help you in all aspects of your life.  At work, you probably spend a lot of time looking at a computer screen.  Here are some general tips for keeping your eyes healthy on the job.

Be ergonomic

When you are on the computer, make sure that your eyes are on the same level as the screen you are looking at.  Positioning the screen higher than eye level will cause your neck to strain, which after extended periods of time, will cause you pain.

Lights

When you are working on a computer, make sure that you have all the light that you need.  Working in the dark on a computer is not good for your eyes in the long run.  Take care of your eyes, and your eyes will thank you.

Take a break

Constantly staring at a computer screen puts a strain on your eyes.  Take your eyes off the screen after a long session, to readjust your eyes.  Don’t forget to blink.  If your eyes feel dry, lubricate with eye drops as needed.

You demand a lot of your eyes.  The least you could do is to keep them happy and healthy.  There’s no reason not to have fashionable designer glasses in the process.  Glassescrafter.com has all the designer eyeglasses you desire, at the prices your wallet will love.  View the selection and prepare to be amazed.

Vision problems, decoded

When you go to get your eyes checked, do you wonder about what the technician is talking about.  Most people who wear corrective lenses have astigmatism, or are near sighted or far sighted.  Here’s a brief explanation on each of the conditions.

Astigmatism

Your cornea, in the front of your eyeball, is supposed to be perfectly round and symmetrical.  People who suffer from astigmatism have an asymmetrical cornea, so vision is distorted.  People who have astigmatism can also be near sighted or far sighted at the same time.

Myopia

Being near sighted occurs when the eyeball is too long, or the cornea is extensively curved.    So objects that are nearer are seen easily, but objects that are farther away are blurry.  Myopia is more common, and as much as 30% of the population have been reported to be nearsighted.

Hyperopia

People who are far sighted have corneas that aren’t curved sufficiently, or an eyeball that is too short.  Things that are far away can be seen clearly, yet things that are closer are blurry.  Many people who are far sighted strain to see the objects that are close to them if they are not already wearing eyeglasses.

Whatever your reason for needing glasses, glassescrafter.com has the designer styles that complement your fashion sense.  Check out the selection of affordable designer frames that will draw attention to you, not your need for corrective lenses.

What’s hot now

Eyeglasses have become more than instruments that correct vision, they are fashion statements.  That’s because when people see you, they see the eyeglasses that you are wearing.  Eye wear designers have responded with designs that are meant to make you look better, in addition to helping you see better.  Here are a list of trends that are slated for 2010.

Metal frames

Technology has made it possible for frames to get even smaller.  If you have always wanted to wear small round frames, 2010 is the time to try them.  And you can get them in a wide variety of colors.  From matte colors to bright colors and everything in between, you are bound to find a frame that appeals to you.

Lens tints

If you see the world through rose colored glasses, why not equip your eyeglasses to do the same.  You can get your lenses tinted in a variety of colors.  And you don’t have to stop at one color, it’s possible to get highlights and tints all on the same lens.

Frames for your face

A trend that has come back into vogue is the oversized frame.  However, you can now get them with angled edges, for a different twist on the look.  You don’t have to be like everyone else either.  Butterfly frames are now becoming popular, so you can distinguish yourself from all of the other eyeglass wearers.

Coating protects your lenses

Did you ever wonder about the different coating options available to eyeglass wearers?  Well wonder no longer.  They are all more simple than you thought, but were just afraid to ask.  Take a look at the list to learn about the most common coatings.

Anti-reflective coatings

This coating gives the illusion of a flatter surface, so you don’t see bulges as readily.  If the lenses within your eyeglass frame are not quite on the thin side, anti-reflective coatings will make them appear to be so.  And since they have the coating, you should also have a better range of vision because of the glare that is cut out.

Scratch resistant coating

Human nature coupled with an object is bound to be met with some clumsiness.  Scratch resistant coating is a way to protect your investment.  When you accidentally drop your eyeglasses, with scratch resistant coating, you can rest assured that you won’t suffer from hundred of scratches because of your slippery fingers.

Ultraviolet treatments

The harmful effects of the sun are hard to escape.  With ultraviolet treatments, your eyes will be protected from the sun’s glare.  This treatment is quite common because you just can’t escape the sun.

Your eyeglasses are only as good as the lenses they hold within them.  Take care of your eyeglasses and your eyes will be much happier.  Visit glassescrafter.com to see all of the designer possibilities that are waiting for you.
