Is there a difference in the lens quality of glasses?

I think you'd better have a try before buying a pair of glasses. I have bought a pair of glasses in an optical shop. The boss of the shop told me that the lenses he recommended for me was the best kind. He also told me that he had coated my lenses already but later one of my friend who was working for an eyeglasses company told me that my glasses couldn't prevent reflections and glare of computer screens. There were no coatings! The boss lay to me. I hate that guy. So you'd better ask someone who can identify the materials of the lenses to help you. Good luck!

Why are my eyes red but they don't hurt?

When you are tired or lack of sleep, your eyes will turn red without any hurt or pain. For this reason, you need to have a rest and enough sleep. The most common cause red bloodshot eyes in people who don't where contact lenses are eye allergies, known as allergic conjunctivitis. Although the eyes often itch, they may not. There is sometimes accompanying nasal allergies, characterized by sneezing or nasal congestion. The causes of eye allergies are numerous, but common ones include mold, mites, and pollen. Your doctor will be able to prescribe eye drops or other allergy medications for you if this turns out to be the diagnosis. Mechanical irritation of the eyes from small particles in the air (dirt, dust, smoke) is also common in some occupations and also in runners and others who spend a lot of time outside. This usually responds to wearing protective eyewear and using rewetting drops or artificial tears.

Plastic and polycarbonate eyeglass lenses?

The amount of light reflected from eyeglass lenses depends on the lens material. Conventional glass or plastic lenses reflect about 8 percent of incident light, so only 92 percent of available light enters the eye for vision. Thinner, lighter high-index lenses reflect up to 50 percent more light than regular glass or plastic lenses and therefore can cause more problems with glare unless something is done to reduce reflections.Anti-reflective (AR) coating reduces lens reflections and allows more light to enter the eye for better night vision. Regardless of the lens material, eyeglass lenses with AR coating transmit more than 99 percent of available light to the eye.By eliminating surface reflections, anti-reflective coating also makes your lenses nearly invisible. This greatly improves the appearance of your eyewear and allows others to see your eyes, not the reflections in your glasses.

Can nearsighted people see better underwater?

Well, yes, nearsighted person can see better under water. For the reasons, you should know that it is related to physical theory. As we know that when light changes from traveling in one medium to another, it will 'bend' or refract. But on the other hand, water and your eye basically have the same refractive index, so the light will barely bend. Your lens can't properly compensate for the lack of the refraction. But when is under water, a severely nearsighted person would get closer to normal as their eye defects compensate more for the lack of refraction. That is why nearsighted people can see well than normal people underwater.

How Long after Cataract Surgery Can I Get New Glasses?

My experience. One day after surgery is a check up. One week after surgery is second check up. Three weeks after the second check up, or exactly one month after the surgury is the date they will write you a new perscription for new glasses. It takes time for the eyes to adjust, I know mine did. Sometomes they are willing to do this in three weeks instead of 4. This is up to the individual Dr. My cloudiness was gone, but vision still a little blurred but I hava a stigmatism. If you paid for the premium lenses, ( I didn't ) you might have totally perfect vision. Insurance don't cover premium lenses for cataract surgery. That could be several thousand out of pocket.
