• Why can I see better with plastic frames?

  Some high myopes find that they can see better with plastic frames rather than metal ones with nose pads. The distance between the back surface of the lenses and the front of the eyes is named vertex distance, which can be increased by equipping nose pads in metal frames. Plastic frames with a shorter vertex distance are more suitable for highly myopic people. More specifically, some metal frames have unadjusted nose pads, creating a greater vertex distance and making the wearer see a poor-fitting bridge easily. Plastic frames do not involve any nose-pad adjustment and the bridge will always stay at a right place.

• What factors contribute to durability of glasses?

  To choose durable glasses, at first you should choose durable frames. Some memory mental frames are good and can hardly get broken. Frames using titanium, stainless steel and Flexon are more durable. Then you should consider the type of lens. If you play sports a lot, you should avoid glass lens. Polycarbonate lens is good but can get scratched easily. You need to add an anti-scratch coating on it.

• Is there any good brand for non-prescription computer glasses?

  I have bought a pair of computer glasses online and they do work well. I don't know if there is any brand specialized in computer glasses, the brand doesn't matter as long as it works.

• Is it normal for half-frame glasses to have a line etched around the lens?

  The lenses have to be edged in that way in order to keep them in the frame. If you look carefully you will find what looks almost like fishing line in the groove. That is how the lens is kept in the frame. It is quite normal.
