How Do Glasses Work

About 2000 years ago, Seneca, the Roman philosopher looked at his book through a cup of water. The text below the water became clear magically. However, it’s about thousands of years later that this principle is used to create the first glasses.

Nowadays, glasses help millions of people with poor vision for the reason of uncorrected refractive errors. The key to understanding the process of glasses working is the function of a transparent medium, like glass, or the eye to make a change of the direction when light passes through.

There are two main refractive surfaces of our eye: the lens and the cornea. Normally, they co-work to refract light in a way that correctly focuses light onto the retina and the vision is given by the layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and together with the brain.

However, a large number of people develop refractive errors, which causes refracted light to be focused on part of places, like in front of the retina or behind it. Images become blurry in this situation.

People who have problems with refractive errors can still see colors well as light, but what see are not quite clear and lose details. For those who can see objects near clearly, but cannot see clearly of objects far away are called short-sighted. They. On the contrary, people have long-sighted eyes cannot see close objects clearly.

There are also some people have astigmatism,which causes all things whether they are far or close all out-of-focus and blurred.

With the growth of our age, we may face some new challenges with our eyes.When we become older, the lens of our eyes would become less flexible as before, and they can’t change shape at the time when we look at close objects.This is what we called presbyopia.

All symptoms we just talked are refractive errors. Today we can fix them all with eyeglasses or contact lenses.By wearing them, we can refocus light and it strikes the retina accurately. Glasses are still the most popular when one want to see clearly.

Today’s glasses have taken many inspiration from the design in 1727( the first glasses have arms to hook over ears), and glasses are much more precise than glasses that time. We can choose all kinds of glasses in different shape or style to show our personality. If you have a problem with close or far vision, there are plenty of eyeglasses at Jim Halo waiting to be chosen by you and help you to see clearly everyday.

Do You Use Dark Mode and Is It Helpful For Your Eyes?

Does anyone care about the inverted colors from your digital devices, like your smartphones? Dark mode has become even more popular during these years.

What is the dark mode? Dark mode turns the dark text into the light color text and then turns the white background into a black or dark background. All the images with a transparent background will fit to the dark background automatically.

But is this really work for your eyes? Is this helpful?

-What’s are the benefits of the dark mode?

Actually, no. Though the dark mode may look more modern and cool, it is not proved yet that it can do benefits like reducing eye strain. Some users may think that the dark mode can preserve the battery. However, this may only be useful when using OLED displays.

-Is the dark mode helpful for your eyes?

As we have talked about before, there is no exact evidence to prove that the dark mode is helpful. But when related to some experience, when we lying on the bed and browse our phones, we may find the dark mode is even darker than regular text, it may improve our comfort when using phones. Yep, this will also reduce the squinting.

-Is the dark mode good or not?

There is no answer to this question. If you have astigmatism, you’re not really suitable for using dark mode. It will be harder for you to focus on your content.

Why Do People Who don’t Have RX Also Need Eyeglasses

Even you passed the eye exam successfully, you may still want a pair of designer glasses for fashion demand. Wearing non-RX glasses is still on the trend. Why do you need a pair of glasses that you actually don’t need? We’re going to list some reasons below.

1.Function

You can add more functions when you purchase non-prescription glasses, like UV protection and anti-blue light technology. These functions can make your eyeglasses more beneficial.

We’re exposed to blue light all the time. It comes from the sun, computer screens, smartphones, etc.. Long-term under blue light, we may feel eye strain and headache.

So you can reduce the eye strain by adding blue light blocking lens on your eyeglasses. Just remember to choose “blue blocker lenses “ at checkout.

If you don’t want to carry two pairs of glasses: your lovely specs and shades on a warm sunny day. You can look for photochromic lens options. In this condition, the lenses can automatically lighten indoors and darken outdoors.

2.Fashion

The non-RX frame also has a variety of materials, shapes and colors which can certainly be a good accessory for decoration. It will change your look in an instant. If you’re having an interview, it may add some kind of professional feeling. If you want to look more lovely, a round frame can also work perfectly.

3.Kids

Influenced by the superheroes movie and cartoon characters, your kids might ask you for wearing a pair of glasses. If they really don’t need it after an eye exam, non-Rx glasses would be a nice option. They can look cool like their favorite superheroes and wouldn’t be bothered by eye strain. You are such an intelligent mom/dad!

How to Start an Effortless Spring Style

Are you ready for 2021 Spring fashion and style?! I love Spring soooo much since it really looks like a fresh and new beginning. The coming of spring is a good chance to fully check out our wardrobe and accessories to find the things which we’re tired of and not stylish anymore. YES! It’s time to store them and give up!

The essentials of Spring fashion are simple but effective. If we get the right pieces, then we can get the endless outfit look in Spring.

It’s a season to find some sunglasses to match the Spring outfits and also to prevent some sunlight. Meanwhile, glasses frame are also good for some outfits and can protect your eyes if you got blue light lenses.

I’m starting with these vintage sunglasses. Vintage sunnies are really hot these two years! If you don’t get a pair last year, it’s time to get one now. This picture is from @julia.tric (IG）. She paired these vintage glasses from Jim Halo with a simple white neck top, a lace wine-red velvet sling, classical jeans, and a big wine-red handbag to match the glasses and sling well. A vintage and elegant look would be great when you go the street and really easy to attract others.

Trendy Irregular Sunglasses | Ruby

Totally different from the former one, if you like oversized frames, that would be your choice! This picture is from @bribri.jpg (IG）. She’s wearing more like a personalized and outgoing girl. For this outfit look, she wears a pair of big frame #Queen from Jim Halo. To match such a casual look, she chooses an oversized stripe shirt in dark color and a short white tank top and ripped jeans to add a sense of casual. If you are also a big frame lover, this outfit can be a good reference

One-Piece Mask Sunglasses | Queen

For this one, I would not talk too much about the outfit match but focus on the glasses themselves. Well, an oversized pure suit or grid suit can be no wrong for this season. You can match your dress, T-shirt, jeans and others super easily. But this pair of polygon sunglasses from Jim Halo cannot be found easily. Have you ever find a pair of white but good design sunglasses yet? The answer may be No for most of you. The color and design of this pair are really rare. White browline design with light blue lenses. It really enhances the look in the Spring. And the light lenses are good for the Spring season, not too dark makes you dull, and somehow prevents sunlight. If you don’t want to get a pair like others, this would be an unusual one to make you different and of good taste.

OK, I have already talked about some sunglasses for the Spring look. Let’s move to another topic – glasses frame or blue light glasses. Some of you may go outside to enjoy Spring views while someone has to stay at home working or writing. This picture is from @ashleygiov (IG). She spends much time writing on the laptops so she gets a pair of blue light glasses from Jim Halo. In fact, she gets two. But here we talk about cat eye glasses only. Cat eye glasses are super cute for girls, and if you choose blue light lenses(for blue light lenses, it’s free in our shop and no need for extra fees), it would block harmful blue light from screens. Ashley wears a sexy and well-designed dress to match this pair which fully demonstrates her femininity. If you want to look cute or feminine, this pair can be added to your wish list!

I have talked soooo much today, you can make your choice by yourselves from now! Spring is coming soon, don’t consider too much, otherwise, you’ll still be of confusion again next Spring!

Can We Wear Sunglasses All-Day-Long and on all Occasions?

Spring is coming soon!! The weather would be much better than the winter and there would be definitely more sunny days. Therefore, all types of shades would be back to our life again and be the most common accessory in Spring.

However, do you know that there are some potential harms if we wear sunglasses in an incorrect way?

Some of us may wear sunglasses on all occasions and all-day-long, whether it’s outdoors or indoors. And some of us may even wear shades in the dusk or in the cinema. These behaviors may increase the burden on the eyes, cause tension in the eye muscles and blurred vision. In severe cases, symptoms such as dizziness and inability to see for a long time or symptoms such as numbness of the skin between the eye sockets and cheeks may occur. Some may even feel discomfort when breathing. All of these symptoms are caused by incorrect glasses for too long, especially glasses with wide sides, thick frames, and heavyweights. So if you have these symptoms, you’d better choose those lightweight glasses and suitable frames.

In addition, patients with glaucoma, senile cataracts, and obvious lens expansion should not wear sunglasses. Children under the age of 6 are not suitable for wearing sunglasses for a long time.

Different colors of lenses are also suitable for different light environments. For example, greenish sunglasses make the color transmittance curve of the lens closer to the natural curve of the eye. Therefore, the scene you see through the glasses will remain clear for a long time and they can reduce eye fatigue; brown lenses enhance visual acuity by increasing the contrast, and the visual effect is good in blurred vision, foggy or general gloomy weather. However, the blue, light yellow and pink lenses have weak anti-reflection ability so they are not suitable for wearing under strong light.

Do not forget to protect your eyes while being stylish! Tell the one who’s glasses lovers beside you. They should get to know the tips of wearing sunglasses correctly.

What blue light does to your eyes?

According to the statistic, people spend about 11 hours using digital devices per day. You may doubt the number. But when we add up all the time of using mobile phone, computer, TV and other electronics together, that’s right.

It is indicated that technology occupies about 69% of our day whenever we are work or play.

Focus on the screens all day will do harm to our bodies without any doubt, especially to our eyes.

We live in a world where we expose to blue light, like the light emitted from the LED products and digital devices. And the most large part of blue light is from the sun. So, today we’ll teach you how to get avoid from blue light in our daily life.

-What is blue light?

Blue light has a short wave length which has high energy and harmful effect. When we expose to blue light for a long time, our eyes may feel uncomfortable.

-Why should we reduce blue light exposure?

When the blue light passes through the lens of our eyes, it will scatter which will make your eyes can’t focus on. And in this situation, your eyes should work really hard to make up. It will cause fatigue and eye strain finally.

-How to get rid of eye strain and fatigue?

There is no way to get rid of all the blue light exposure, but we can wear blue light glasses to filter blue light and in this way, we can reduce our fatigue and eye strain in the work and study.

What? Sleeplessness Will Cause Vision Problems.

It happens to everyone: After one night work or reading books for the babies to get them sleep, we find us so tired and find ourselves a dull, absent look when we look in the mirror. We often choose to ignore this kind of tiredness. But what’s the truth? A lack of sleep may cause problems for our eyes:

1.Dry eyes

Dry eyes is a universal symptom of lacking of enough sleep. By getting into sleep and keep our eyes closed can give our eyes some hours to relax, in this process, they can maintain their moisturizing situation. If you don’t do as they “required”, they’ll teach you a lesson.

2.Blurry vision

Not having enough sleep may also cause blurry vision. This symptom is even more annoying. We’re easily to reduce blink frequency when we focus on working. What we don’t know is that this may cause blurry vision as said by a report from an Australian government website. If you’re suffering from this symptom frequently, you’d better go to the doctors to protect your eyes.

3.Sensitivity to light

When you find yourselves get aversion to light because your eyes squint in normal daylight, it is also a obvious symptom of eye fatigue. Take care and relax your eyes from time to time.

4.Eye Spasms

Sleeplessness may develop into eye spasms. As we know, our eye movements are managed by other active muscles. If they work too much, they’ll “lose their rhythm”.

5.Bags under the eyes

No one likes dark undereye circles, especially girls. When there is too much fluid under the eye, bags may come. It has the closely association with sleeplessness. It is suggested that we should have 7-9 hours of sleep daily.

Our eyes can bear occasional burden,but we should know that long-time sleeplessness may cause severe problems. So we’d better take care of our eyes and make sure they can get enough “sleep”.

Famous Frames: Glasses Our Favorite TV Characters Would Wear

We recently shared a post on sunglass inspiration drawn from some favorite movie characters, but let’s not leave out the many TV characters with glasses and their on-point style choices when it comes to eyewear. TV shows may not have as big of a screen as theatrical films, but their characters are just as enveloping and dynamic, and you can’t binge a movie like you can a good Netflix or Hulu series, am I right? So here’s a list of five TV characters to take inspiration from as you select your next pair of frames.

Miriam “Midge” Maisel, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Let’s start this list off strong with a retro-chic look from the fashion-forward tough broad from New York City, Midge Maisel. A product of the 1950’s, Midge’s fashion sense is the epitome of “trendy” in that era. Her wardrobe is composed of the latest dresses, hats, bags, and shoes. And while Midge may not require optical lenses, we know that these cateye frames would be her go-to choice based off of her sunglass preferences.

Jess Day, New Girl

In New Girl’s prime, Zooey Deschanel made clumsy seem cute, nerdy look adorable, and weird feel positively unique through the character of Jessica Day. Jess’s thick bangs and chunky glasses created a signature “smart yet affable” look, and quirky never looked so good. Channel your Jess Day with these tortoiseshell frames, and don’t be afraid to embrace the nerd within.

Leonard Hofstadter, The Big Bang Theory

Speaking of the inner nerd, let’s tip our hats (and our glasses) to unapologetic genius, Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) of The Big Bang Theory. Leonard and the rest of the Big Bang crew bring pride to geeks around the world who no longer want to mask their intelligence to fit in with those who can’t wrap their heads around the basics of experimental physics. But whether you’re a certified genius or not, we can all agree that Leonard’s choice in frames is spot on.

Luke Bankole, The Handmaid’s Tale

Luke may not be the lead role in this epic dystopian saga, but he sure does rock a pair of glasses that somehow manage to reflect his educated, warm, and protective personality. In a world where warped morals have been dictated to the masses and education and basic human rights have been taken away from women, Luke remains firm in his core beliefs and his devotion to his wife and daughter. And somehow his smart tortoiseshell frames only emphasize that.

Jacob Winograd, Undone

If you haven’t discovered Undone on Amazon Prime Video yet, you’re missing out on a visual, mind-bending, and emotional rollercoaster. Bob Odenkirk plays Jacob Winograd, a college professor who died right as he was on the cusp of making a groundbreaking discovery through his research. But Jacob remains a strong presence in his daughter’s life as he posthumously enlists her help in solving the mystery of his death. Apparently you still need optical lenses in the afterlife, and we’re okay with that if frames like these are available.

Do We Need to Carry Eyeglasses When Wearing Contacts?

It’s necessary for we to keep a pair of eyeglasses at hand even though we wear contacts usually. But why we should carry a pair of eyeglasses? Thus we will list three reasons here for the idea to own both eyeglasses and contacts.

1.Give a rest for your eyes

Since our eyes have to work all day long so they need relax like we do. Wearing contacts all day makes them no chance to breathe and relax. But if we wear eyeglasses, there is one advantage, that is the lenses of eyeglasses will not touch your eyes so that they can make a breathe. Maybe we should consider to give our contacts one-day break per week.

2.During the embarrassing time when you can’t wear contacts

Life is unexpected. Sometimes our eyes will get some injuries like scratch or infection. During these times, contact may make your eyes uncomfortable or make them more sensitive. So eyeglasses is often the first choice for these situations.

A 3.A good rescue when we suffer from Allergens Attack

When allergens attack your eyes, it really makes your eyeballs uncomfortable and become red or something else. If you have carried a pair of eyeglasses with you, you can take your contact down and wear eyeglasses immediately to see things clearly.

Don’t leave your eyeglasses alone, they’ll be your best friends when you suffer from contacts sometimes.
