Beyond the frame: the importance of choosing the right lenses for your glasses
When choosing glasses, the first thing that usually catches our eye is the frame. The color, the shape, how they fit... On our Instagram @myogandia we've shared a post from Visionlab where the details of the frames take center stage.
But there's another aspect that deserves equal attention: the lenses we use to see every day . Reading, working, driving, or watching a movie are all different activities, and our glasses should adapt to our needs.
What does it mean to choose a good crystal?
Although we commonly refer to them as "glasses," in optics the term ophthalmic lenses is used. Choosing the right lenses involves considering several aspects: the prescription, the type of lens, the material, and any treatments they incorporate.
Therefore, rather than looking for a lens with many features, it is advisable to find a lens suitable for your vision and your routine , with the advice of a professional.
Your everyday life also counts
Do you spend a good part of the day reading? Do you alternate between the computer and customer service? Do you use your glasses all day or for specific tasks?
Discussing your vision needs at the optician's can help guide your choice. Single-vision and progressive lenses, for example, address different needs. The professional can explain the differences and assess which option is right for you.
Choosing glasses also starts with talking about how you're going to use them.
Anti-reflective, thick and easy to clean
Among the features you can check are:
Anti-reflective: reduces reflections on the surface of the lenses.
Reduced thickness: allows for thinner lenses, depending on the prescription and the frame.
Easy cleaning: some treatments help remove fingerprints and dirt.
Scratch resistance: provides additional protection, although no lens is immune to wear and tear.
Besides liking them, glasses should fit well. Glasses that constantly slip, are too tight, or require constant readjustment can be uncomfortable to wear.
Frames and lenses are chosen together. Trying on different models and having the optician's team check the fit helps finalize the selection.
