Before you select the frames and lenses for your glasses, there are several things which need to be considered. It is important that you describe to us the kinds of activities that you plan to undertake while wearing your glasses. If you will be wearing glasses at work, we need to know if there is a risk of injury to you from flying objects that could strike a lens and break it.
If your job requires the use of safety glasses, you must tell us because special frames and lenses must be used. If you plan to wear your glasses while playing sports, please let us know so that we can help you select frames and lenses that will not create a risk of injury. In fact, if you participate in any activities that could potentially cause eye injury, you need to describe these activities to us so that we can advise you. Although no glasses are unbreakable, there are important differences between lenses and frames that make some glasses more protective when compared to others. We are here to help you choose the glasses that best satisfy your needs.
People who we advise to only use Polycarbonate, Trivex or Xirm lens materials include (but are not limited to):
- Monocular persons;
- Athletes and people engaged in any kind of sports with even the remotest possibility of eye injury;
- Workers whose occupations place them at special risk for injury (e.g. police);
- Children;
- Individuals with compromised corneas (e.g., RK, LASIK, penetrating keratoplasty.
Lenses
A very important part of selecting your glasses is the choice of lens material. There are several different materials to choose from, and each has advantages and disadvantages, which are described below.
- Plastic - scratches more easily than glass, but lighter; impact resistance is similar to glass.
- High index plastic - used for high prescriptions because lenses are thinner and much lighter than other materials; withstands impact a little better than regular plastic; good for sunglasses.
- Polycarbonate, Trivex or Xirm plastic - are mid to high index materials which are much more impact resistant, which makes it the best choice for ocular protection; scratches more readily than glass but like other plastic materials is light and thus appropriate for high prescriptions; makes good non-prescription sunglasses too.
Frames
Another important consideration is the frame you select for your glasses. It should fit properly, be comfortable, and compliment your appearance. It should also be safe. There are three basic categories of frames from which to choose.
Dress—these are the frames worn for everyday activities that do not pose a risk of injury; the great majority of frames serve this purpose, being suitable for wear at home, at work, and during play.
Safety—some frames have been specially designed to provide protection in the workplace; they can be identified by a “Z-87” logo on the frame; lenses for these frames must be of a certain thickness and have a special design in order for them to meet the requirements for “safety glasses”.
Sports—eyewear for high risk activities such as racquetball, squash, baseball, basketball, and football must meet special design standards and be made of polycarbonate plastic; frames must meet the standards of “ASTM F-803” to provide optimum protection.
Please consider carefully your needs for both frames and lenses. Based on these needs, we will be pleased to advise and assist you in the selection of the eyewear most suitable for you. Visio-Rx cannot be held liable or responsible in any manner for a failure of any customer to fully disclose any of the conditions referred to in this paragraph, or other conditions which may be required for Visio-Rx to know to assist in the prescription of correct frames and lenses.
