Today I will teach you how to polish scratches on the glasses. I’ll go through the steps of polishing out these lenses.

First I’m gonna go ahead and remove the lens. Just push on one end and give a pull and the lens will start to snap out in order to get these big scratches off and this coating I’m gonna take some 1200 grit sandpaper. I wouldn’t go any coarser than this, the 1200 grit is really fine and it will take out these big scratches and get the coating off at this step.

In the process, we’re gonna use a little bit of water to make sure it cleans all the debris off this as we polish. Just take your time and work it off check every once in a while look for scratches and try to work the entire surface of the lens. I feel it’s pretty consistent when you push it into the palm of your hand. Now when we dry it all off you’re gonna see that the scratches are a lot less but there’s a little bit of a haze over the lens. If you hold it in the light, you can see there are far fewer scratches on this lens. It seems like the outside of the lens,but it usually has the deepest scratches, so work that until there’s no scratches left. if you want the sandpaper to work more aggressive use a little less water when you look at the lens, you’ll be able to see the small plastic particles building up.

If you compare this lens to the other lens, it’s a lot cleaner but it still has that haze over it.

Toothpaste has a very fine abrasive and you can use that to start to get this haze off. As you work with the toothpaste, you’ll be able to feel this fine abrasion and you can start to see it’s a little less cloudy. If you see some small scratches on the back, you can take the 1200 grit sandpaper and start to work those scratches out then back with the toothpaste just keep some water on the toothpaste to keep everything workable. If you want the toothpaste to work a little more aggressive, use a little less water.

When the lens is dry, you can take some of this 3000 grit sandpaper and I’m just gonna rub the lens on this just keep the pressure even and consistent and you’ll see those little scratches start to disappear. Even with a 3,000 grit sandpaper, you’re still gonna see a little bit of haze now.

I’m gonna take some color back from Turtle Wax and I’m just going to put this on it has a little bit of wax and has some polishes in it and I’m sure that there’s other polishes that you would be able to use. But this is what I have handy so I just keep working this polish into the lens and then take a cotton cloth and start to polish it off.

Now you can put the lens back into the glasses and keep polishing. You can see a big difference. You’ll be really glad to have that old coating off and things polished up again. I would also recommend using an old pair of glasses to learn how to do this.

Too much light at night makes it harder for you to fall asleep. Too much light at night means you toss and turn during the night and too much light at night means you wake up feeling tired and lethargic.

Just here in my living room about 11:30 at night and I’m wearing these blue light blocking glasses because I’m about to have one of the best night’s sleep that I’ll ever have why because these glasses block that artificial light from TV screen lights, from your cellphones, from your iPads,from a computer screen.

A study from Harvard University found that people who use electronics before going to bed took longer to fall asleep. They had less deep REM sleep. That’s the really deep restorative sleep. It took them longer to wake up the following morning and they’re reported feeling sleepy and lethargic when they finally did wake up. What’s the reason? It’s because when light hits your brain at night time, yet your brain basically thinks that it’s daytime. So when your brain thinks it’s daytime, it’s not preparing itself for sleep, it’s not creating melatonin which of course helps you sleep at night they did this other study.

My sleep was really quite average, I mean, I was sleeping seven or eight hours, but I found it really hard to get to sleep and I was tossing and turning and when I woke up in the morning I wasn’t feeling energized, I was kind of like I was actually carrying a few extra pounds as well and I didn’t really realize that it was the blue light. It was too much light that I was being exposed to. When I finally discovered this, I bought a pair of anti-blue light glasses. I put these glasses on about two hours before I went to sleep, and you know what, my sleep improved dramatically. It was amazing! It blocked the blue light and I started to fall asleep.

Now I go out and people would say, “hey, I like your glasses, tell me about those”. So I get the benefit of blocking the blue light, which means I’m sleeping better and people are also saying “hey you look kind of cool”. Check out the collections at Jim Halo and many of type have already sold out. So if you want to grab a pair, now just click the link here.

Sunglasses is a must-have among accessories and they do have beneficial functions, like anti-UV rays and protect our face skins. Choosing a pair of high-quality sunnies that can realize UV protection is essential for us. However, do you know the methods to take care of your sunnies to prolong their life? Here we’ll talk about some easy ways for you.

1. Adjust Your Sunglasses

When you got a pair of sunnies, you might find it easy to fall or slip, it means that it doesn’t fit your face shape perfectly. In this situation, you’d better go to the shop and find employees to adjust for you, or you can do it by yourself if you have tools. This small adjustment makes sure you would carry them with you all the time.

2. Replace the Old Lenses

We may find lenses are cracked or scratched after usage, some may search for another to take place of them. However, we can also take some eco-friendly actions, like change the lenses. It is a good way to make your old sunnies “New” again. When you’re considering of replacing your lenses, you’d better choose wisely. For instance, if you want to reduce the refelections from snow, water, you can choose polarised lenses. It can reduce glare. If you are seeking for a durable one, you can purchase polycarbonate lenses. They are lighter and more durable.

3. Do Not Put Your Sunglasses on Your Head

There are two reasons to avoid wearing shades on the head. First, if you wear them on your head often, the earpieces might be stretched and this makes them easy to slip. Then, they cannot accompany you for so long. And the second reason is mainly for girls, yep, if you wear shades on the head, they may get caught in your hair and yank your hair when you want to take them down. Imagine this situation, this can be painful!

If you have some bad habit with your sunglasses, you’d better remind yourself and find better ways to keep your shades longer.

We are going to compare computer glasses versus blue light glasses and which one is better at relieving digital eye strain. Let’s take a look.

I’ll show about the eyes vision knowledge and find the best vision product here. Today we can talk about computer glasses and blue light glasses and really comparing the difference in figuring out which one is better for relieving your eye strain.

First of all, what are computer glasses? Well, computer glasses are a dedicated pair of glasses with magnification power to relieve eye strain. While looking at a near object, that is about the distance of your computer screen. Computer glasses are very similar to reading glasses. In fact, some people even use reading glasses as computer glasses. It really has to do with how far away the object you’re focusing on is. Computer glasses are more dedicated for a further away distance, about 24 inches or 60 centimeters, that’s about perfect for most people’s computer screens. Reading glasses are more dialed in for objects up close closer to around 40 centimeters or perhaps closer depending on where you like to hold things for reading. In fact, we call this distance where your elbows are just barely touching your body and you’re holding an object out here,  that’s called a Hartmann distance or also known as your elbow distance which is ergonomically better for looking at things like books as magazines, newspapers or perhaps your cell phone. The whole point of having this magnification in the pair of dedicated computer glasses is to relieve the muscle tension inside the eye and the eye muscles outside of the eye. If you’re somebody who spends a lot of time throughout your day on a digital screen up close and you’re getting eye strain, maybe that pinching feeling between the nose pressure on the outside of your temples or maybe headaches, then getting a pair of dedicated computer glasses could help relieve that feeling.

Now let’s talk a little bit about blue light glasses. There are many different types of blue light glasses out there. Blue light glasses are essentially just glasses with either some type of reflector on the front and anti reflective to bounce blue light away or they’re more filtered lenses. They eliminate the harsh blue light that you get from looking at things like computer screens or any of the artificial LED light bulbs that we have in the home and published studies on blue light has found that it does affect our melatonin production and that affects our sleep cycles and there are some studies out there and many people who will claim that blue light glasses help relieve their eye strain no many types of blue light glasses that you find out there are usually non prescription they are simply just filters or some type of anti reflective coating on top of a lens. Blue light blocking technology is really kind of an add-on that can be made in the lenses themselves you can even double up.

If you want the best pair you can get talk to your eye clinic. However if you’re somebody who does not require prescription glasses or perhaps you wear contact lenses most of the time, then perhaps you can look at blue light glasses.

A quick rule of thumb that many eye care professionals will use to calculate at least the initial setup for the right powers for computer glasses and reading glasses is based on somebody’s age as we all age we lose the ability to really focus well up close, that means the older you get the more power, you will need for your computer glasses. In general, if you’re under the age of 40 and have no problem seeing things up close, then finding a pair of computer glasses around a plus 0.25 or a plus 0.5 often helps those individuals. It’s just enough power in the lenses to see that things are magnified, we’re leaving that eye strain without going too far and giving too much power and causing eye strain.

Today advanced technology has made everything you want easy to get in a few hours. The internet has become significant when we think about our wardrobe. However,shopping glasses online may have potential pitfalls like other objects, especially when you don’t get the tips before. This guide will introduce some tips for reducing your unhappy times when shopping online.

1.UNDERSTAND YOUR FACE SHAPE AND SIZE

The key point of chosing glasses successfully online is understanding your face shape and size. You don’t want to order any glasses that be too big or small and have to be put in your wardrobe for years. Choose the proper design and size to ensure they fit your face. Before you buy any optical glasses online, make sure you know your PD distance, otherwise you can’t see any objects clearly.

2.BUY THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media has taken over plenty of business, including fashion accessories. Since we’re social media lovers, how to make full use of it is also a good way. Firstly, we can join some Facebook groups that offer boutique and coupon services. Many of group admins can provide preferencial price and introduce the goods well. You can be active in these groups and ask questions if you want to know more. They usually can help you to find proper products. Secendly, if you’re interested about eyewear, you can follow some brand channel on Instagram, they usually keep updating of the latest products and also have some activities held from time to time. In this way, you can easily know the one you favorite and can talk to them directly on social media.

3.UNDERSTAND WHAT MATERIALS YOU WANT

Looking at the beautiful pictures online alone cannot let you know how the glasses will feel. If you want to find a comfortable glasses, you’d better know the materials. For lens materials(we have talked on other blog articles before), they have pros and cons, so you can make a judgement by yourself after knowing their distinguish.

4.READ RETURN POLICIES

You don’t want to know whether the glasses you got fit you, so knowing the return policy of online shops should be the first thing to do before online shopping. And don’t think the policies won’t change even you have bought several times in a particular shop.

Spring is coming, have you started wearing sunglasses? Want to know if your sunglasses anti UV rays?

In fact, the main function of the sunglasses in the jewelry store is decoration, and there is almost no effect of anti-radiation and anti-UV. If you wear such sunglasses outside, although some light is blocked, the ultraviolet rays will still be directed into your eyes.

The reason why sunglasses can anti UV rays is that the resin material and a special protective film which is introduced in the process. The cheap sunglasses lenses are mostly made of plexiglass or ordinary glass, and some children’s sunglasses are even made of ordinary plastic. In addition, the mirror surface of inferior sunglasses is not smooth and flat, which will change the optical performance of the eyes, thereby affecting vision.

Wearing low-quality sunglasses for a long time may cause blurred vision and decreased vision, and even cause corneal endothelial damage, solar keratitis and other eye diseases. When choosing sunglasses, the most fundamental thing is to ensure that your safety and vision would not be affected. It is very important to choose the right color and material. It is best to go to professional eyeglass shops or online eyeglasses stores instead of jewelry stores on the street when choosing a pair of anti-UV sunglasses.

The following are some common lens material types of sunglasses.

PC lens: strong, not easy to break, impact-resistant, suitable for sports. However, due to poor abradability, the optical system is usually unstable, and it is not suitable for high humidity and heat applications.

Glass lens: The clarity is slightly higher than that of resin, but a good quality glass lens generally can only block 60% to 70% of harmful light, and it has a heavier texture, weak impact resistance, and is easy to break.

Resin lens: Resin is a chemical substance with a phenolic structure. It is light in weight, resistant to high temperatures, strong in impact resistance, and can effectively block ultraviolet rays. But the abradability is poor, and it is easy to scratch.

Nylon lens: It is made of nylon, with high elasticity, excellent optical quality, and strong impact resistance. It is usually used as a protective article.

Polarized lens: It refers to Polaroid. This kind of polarized lens can effectively filter out reflected light and harmful ultraviolet rays so that we can see things more clearly. And it has the function of anti-shatter, antiwear.

Therefore, in comprehensive consideration, polarized lenses made of lightweight and precise synthetic resin are relatively ideal choices for consumers.

Resin polarized lenses can be counted as safety lenses, which almost completely block ultraviolet rays below 350mm in wavelength, and the effect is far better than glass lenses. It is especially suitable for outdoor activities such as fishing, diving, sailing, hunting, and skiing.

How to identify whether it can anti UV rays?

1. Prepare a banknote and find a banknote detector

2. Illuminate the UV lamp to the watermark on the banknote first, and you can clearly see the number.

3. Put the sunglasses between the ultraviolet light and the banknote. If the watermark can still be seen, it means that the sunglasses do not have the function of anti-ultraviolet rays. On the contrary, it means that the anti-ultraviolet function of the sunglasses is good.

Go and check if your sunglasses can anti UV rays now!
