It Is Very Nice to Purchase Eyeglasses Online Through Try-on System.

Nowadays, more and more people begin to purchase online, for goods there are much cheaper than real stores at where we can not get products of the current fashion some time. However, from online vendors, we can get almost all the latest products in the market after their emergence.

As a glasses wearer, I have benefited a lot from online stores. In fact, in the past I did not think it is a good idea to purchase eye glasses online, for I cannot tell those glasses are suitable for me or not until I received them. However, something has changed my idea. Not only I buy eyeglasses online, but I also persuade my friends to purchase them online. Thus, some of you may wonder how I can get those lenses that suit me best. The secret lies in the online try-on system. Here, I am going to list some detailed information about how to buy eyeglasses online and how this system works.

When I entered this website of an online lenses vendor, I can see some items on the top of the homepage. One of the items is virtual eyeglass try-on system, which means I can try any glasses through the system and get the ones that fit me most. But before use the try-on system, I will spend some time to take a look at the lenses, including the styles, the prices, the colors of the lenses and frames, the fashionable element, etc. Then, I will pick out some glasses that I think is good and try them in the system.

However, different vendors use different try-on systems. Here are some typical examples. And let’s take a look at how to choose glasses through these systems.

One of the try-on systems is to use some models. There are head pictures of many models through which I can have a clear idea about what I am looked with these glasses. Some of you may say there is great difference between me and these models. In fact, the head pictures of the models have included all possible head and facial forms. For example, some faces are round, some are pointed; some traditional and some fashionable; some have fair skins, and some dark skins, etc. I have a slim face with fair skin, and I have chosen some glasses that are contrast with my face and skin. I am very satisfied with the glasses after I have received them, for the virtual effect is the same as real effect in real world.

Another try-on system is to use my own picture. After picking out these beloved lenses, I come into the try-on system. A pair of the glass will be reflected onto the trying square, and I am required to project my own picture into the square through the camera on my computer. This is my real face picture. Once I can sit in the right position, I can tell what I am looked like with the glass. This system is very vivid and there is almost no difference between virtual and real effect.

Another try-on system is much more professional and complicated. In this system, I have to know some accurate data of my facial features, such as the width of my nose, my forehead, my mouth, my eyes, etc. After I have keyed in the data, the models will be automatically adjusted accordingly. This system can assure that the glasses for me are individualized in terms of sizes, colors, etc.

Of course, if you want to buy eyeglasses online, you may encounter many other try-on systems. And with the development of electronic technologies, more accurate systems will be brought out. And the virtual system will be much vivid.

All my friends and other people who have purchased eyeglasses online through try-on systems are very satisfied with what they have bought. No one has ever complained that there is any inconformity between the virtual and the real effect.

Maybe now you have decided to purchase eyeglasses online through try-on system. Congratulations! You have made a wise decision. Why? Just image how much you will be charged at real optical stores and how much money you can save through online purchase? With these advanced virtual try-on systems, you can enjoy the same experience as at real stores. What’s more, a lot of money and time will be saved.

The Evolution of Eyeglass Frames

While mentioning eyeglasses, most of us will neglect eyeglass frames. The reason lies in the fact that only few of us have realized the importance of frames in the evolution of eyeglasses.

As it is known, the earliest eyeglass has made its first appearance over 7hundred years ago. Therefore, it seems that the history of the frames is of the same longevity. In fact, the emergence of the first frame is much later than eyeglass. The data has showed that there is no frame in the original eyeglasses and people use hands to hold the glass while using. Later, some people find it is inconvenient to use glass without anything to support. Therefore, some ribbons are employed in the manufacturing of the eyeglasses and the glass can be tied up to the forehead of wearers.

Still, people find it is not very nice to fix glasses with ribbons and they just want to find some better methods. When it comes to the 18th century, eyeglass frame of modern style has made its first appearance. And eyeglass wearers find those frames so perfect that they can move or do anything without worrying those glasses will slip down. However, those frames are not as nice as what we use today. The real frame that we use now does not appear until the 20th century, a revolutionary period for both eyeglasses and eyeglass frames. And some great changes have taken in the eyeglasses industry.

In fact, the styles and materials employed in the eyeglass frames are the major elements in their evolution.

In the past, eyeglass frames are just used as the devices that can support the lenses. And frames in then time are very rough and ugly. But now almost all the glass frames are delicately made. Therefore, the style of the frames is always one of the sales points for many famous brands. Thus, frame is sometimes the only reason why many people choose to wear glasses of particular types and brands.

The materials employed in the manufacturing of those frames vary a lot in different period. As it mentioned above, the earliest materials of eyeglass frames are ribbons. After that, common metal is used for a very long time. However, in daily lives, some people find metal frames are too heavy and some of them will suffer from allergy. With the large-scale use of plastic in industry, some designers have tried to make glass frames with plastic. And the plastic frames have gained wide popularity, for their light-weight and allergy-resistance. Thereby, plastic frames take a very large market share in the 20th century.

However, in the mean time, some designers have thought of updating metal frames. And some sound results are achieved. For example, metal frames are widely used in some classic glasses. Besides, designers and wearers are always bothered by one matter that their metal frames become loose easily, especially when handled inappropriately. Consequently, a new era of metal frames approaches, with the emergence of memory metal alloys. Of which, titanium is a case in point. Eyeglass frames made of titanium can rebound to their original shape. Moreover, such frames are light-weight and will never cause any allergy to people with sensitive skin.

Eyeglass frames will always evolve as time goes by.

Men’s eyeglasses differ from women’s ones

Gentlemen and ladies always have different tastes on most of the things, such as clothes, foods, reading materials, TV programs as well as some others. Eyeglasses are also one of them. This kind of generic difference can hardly be explainable. In some cases, men and women have different ways of thinking things. Or they have different temper. But one point is clear that those ladies usually have dissimilar tastes on beauty with most men. Most people would say that this is because women are always more perceptual and most gentlemen are relatively more rational. This explanation is probably true that it has been tested for many times in different circumstances. This difference of beauty appreciation usually leads to the phenomenon that men and women would choose different styles of most accessories. For instance, men’s watches are usually formal and have a large size, while those for ladies in most cases are designed to be small-sized and fashionable. Another good example that explains such a difference is eyeglasses. It is easy to notice with little effort that men’s eyeglasses are sometimes quite different from women’s eyeglasses. These two kinds may differ in size, color, frame thickness, temple style and so on.

Recognizing these differences, most eyeglass stores would group their displaying products according to gender. It is not unusual to see men’s areas and women’s areas in an eyeglass store. In this way, customers of a specific gender can find their respective products more easily. This also grants buyers with convenience. They seldom need to move a place to another when they want to have a look at different eyeglass styles at the store. Based on the same principle, nearly all eyewear vendors selling eyeglasses online would take the same practice. Most online prescription eyeglass stores classify their eyeglasses simply according to gender. Men’s eyeglasses and women’s eyeglasses are two of the basic categories. In fact, these phrases have become some of the key words for online customers to search for target eyewear products using a search engine like Google. Even within one website, such a way to group most eyeglasses is the most efficient for ladies or gentlemen to browse similar pages, without excessive switches between completely different pages.

All in all, this method of organization at either a local store or an online one is backed by different tastes between men and women. Of course, there are still unisex eyeglasses. This third category just offsets those obvious features of the first two categories.

A New Experience on Purchasing Eyeglasses Online - The Virtual Try on System

Though more and more people choose to purchase eyeglasses online because of its convenience and low price, the number is still small when compared with whole sales in the traditional eyewear market. The main reason why people hesitate to buy eyeglasses online is that they cannot try them on, and also they do not know the practical effect when wearing eyeglasses. Only those who have already bought the same kind eyeglasses on the traditional retailer are willing to purchase eyewear online as they know if this kind of eyeglasses it suitable for them or not.

With the development of online eyewear selling, some online shops provide the 360 degree viewing of the item. However, this is not enough as the simple description of one item only cannot give realistic feeling to customers, and that factor may be the main impediment to the rapid growth of online eyewear purchase.

Fortunately, the virtual try on system is invented in time so as to deliver a breakthrough on the online eyewear industry. The technology is achieved by uploading images of a customer’s face into the website conveniently, so any type and any color of eyeglasses can be tried effectively and practically.

When using the virtual try on system, you need to upload your frontal image to the website, if you don’t have the frontal picture at hand, you can use the model picture on the internet. Then enter your papillary distance in the pupil distance field, and zoom in or out your photo according to the ruler to place your eyes in the right position. If your face is not oriented vertically, you can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise of the photo until the picture is in the perfect position. After that you can try on every pair of eyeglasses available as you like. It is of great convenience and interest because you can know what you would look like when wearing different types of eyeglasses.

Also, you can save the photo based on the final effect of the eyeglasses wearing on you to computer, or you can share this photo with your family or friends to know their attitudes and get their suggestions. How easy it is! You do not have to go to the eyeglasses shop to try the eyeglasses by yourself but knowing which kind of eyeglasses is a most suitable pair.

Furthermore, the try on system is quite good for those with serious eye problems. As we know, more than 40 million people in US cannot see clearly in mirror when they try on the new frames with blank lenses. The virtual try on system enables customers to view new frames on their faces in a vivid way without having to remove their original eyeglasses, but you should be sure that the photo that you give does not have any facial distortion.

However, in the virtual try on system, you are supposed to know your papillary distance first. Only in that way, you can choose an appropriate pair of eyeglasses. The facts that system will only show you the effect about whether the frame looks good on you or not but cannot provide the information about whether the eyeglasses fit you perfectly or not should be paid attention to. If you want to get a pair of comfortable eyeglasses, you are recommended to check the dimension lists on each pair of eyeglasses carefully according to your prescription.

If you never use the virtual try on system, I suggest you to have a try because it is a thing full of interest and surprise. Even if you do not have to wear eyeglasses to correct your vision, you may find your favorite eyeglasses without prescription because the fashionable and charming look of eyeglasses wearing in the system must intrigue your interest on wearing eyeglasses as a fashionable accessory. I am sure the virtual try on system will not disappoint anyone of you. Have a try and enjoy yourselves.

Boost your eye-Q for healthier eyes

While many people are resolving to by more healthy in 2010, it is often easy to take good vision for granted, but there are ways to help maintain eye health.

"Pretty much the eyes take care of themselves, but studies have shown that wearing sunglasses and reducing sun exposure to the eyes can reduce the risk of macular degeneration," said Dr. John Kinder, an ophthalmologist with Eye Consultants in Cape Girardeau. Macular degeneration is the deterioration of the part of the retina responsible for the sharp vision used in reading and driving.

Contrary to popular belief, sitting too close to the television will not harm the eyes and crossing the eyes will not cause them to become stuck in that position, Kinder said. One thought he does uphold is that eating carrots will provide better vision.

"There is probably some truth to it. Carrots have antioxidants, and they have been shown to be helpful to the eyes," he said.

Eating a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of green, leafy vegetables can provide eyes with the nutrients they need to stay healthy, Kinder said. The National Eye Institute found in a recent age-related eye disease study that diets rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and E, beta-carotene and zinc helped protect the eyes by reducing damage related to oxidizing agents.

Dr. John Kinder, right, examines Frank Chong Monday, January 4, 2010, at Eye Consultants, Inc., in Cape Girardeau.

As the body ages, the eyes age as well, prompting routine examinations for individuals that have not have regularly seen an eye care professional in the past.

"People age 60 and older should receive a yearly eye exam, especially if there is a family history of glaucoma. If there is that history, they probably need to be seen more often," Kinder said.

While glaucoma, a disease that causes damage to the optic nerve, is common in the older population, it is not the most common threat facing the aging eye, he said.

"Cataracts is the most common issue seen in older patients. Cataracts is when the lens becomes cloudy. It is generally easy to fix, and the vision ends up much better than it was before," he said.

Wearing sunglasses to protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays and shading eyes from direct sunlight can help reduce the chance of developing cataracts, he said.

Dr. John Kinder charts a patient Monday, January 4, 2010, at Eye Consultants, Inc., in Cape Girardeau.

Eye diseases and poor vision can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Kinder said there are a few warning signs that should prompt a visit to an eye care professional.

"If you have blurred vision, eye pain, eye redness or floaters, you should have it checked," he said.

Protecting eyes from occupational hazards is also important, Kinder said.

"Wearing safety goggles while operating a chain saw, a lawn mower or power tools can reduce the chance of injury to the eye," he said. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health estimates that every day 2,000 American workers require medical treatment for a work-related eye injury.

Staring at a computer screen all day -- whether for work or play -- won't harm your eyes, but it will cause them to become tired or dry, according to "The Aging Eye: Preventing and treating eye disease," a special health report from Harvard Medical School.

People who spend a lot of time in front of a computer tend to blink less often, causing eyes to feel dry and tired, the report said. With any close work activities like using a computer, reading or sewing, rest your eyes every hour or so to lessen the effects.
