Lenses For Young Adults
Between school work, active social lives and a lot of digital device usage, your eyes require a lens which multi-tasks as much as you do.
The best recommended options for you are:
Zylux HiDef Blue Protect lenses
Light is made up of electromagnetic particles that travel in waves. These waves emit energy, and range in length and strength. The shorter the wavelength; the higher the energy. The length of the waves is measured in nanometres (nm), with 1 nanometre equalling 1 billionth of a meter.
Every wavelength is represented by a different colour, and is grouped into the following categories: gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet (UV) rays, visible light, infrared light, and radio waves.
Together these wavelengths make up the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the human eye is sensitive to only one part of this spectrum: visible light. Visible light is that part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is seen as colours: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Blue light has a very short wavelength, and so produces a higher amount of energy. Studies suggest that, over time, exposure to the blue end of the light spectrum could cause serious long-term damage to your eyes. In addition, prolonged exposure to Blue light from digital devices interferes with the body’s normal circadian rhythm and makes you stay awake at night longer. The human eye’s own defence mechanism against HEV light is not great. To help that, Blue light filters can be incorporated into the spectacle lenses – with or without prescription.
+ Using these lenses gives you the following benefits:
- Reduce Eye Strain
- Increase productivity
- Help your natural sleep cycle
Zylux Personalised Single Vision Lenses
For basic powers up to plus or minus 3 spherical and up to 1 cylindrical, pre made lenses work just fine. For higher powers, and specially if you choose larger spectacle frames, you can get blurry vision on the sides or objects to appear distorted. This happens because of the optical power changing as we move away from the center of the lens.
Personalised Lenses are made to order for every frame you choose.
Your Optician uses a special set of measurements which includes :
- Your Power (spherical cylindrical, axis and addition for near if required)
- The shape and size of your chosen frame.
- The point where your pupil centre matches the frame centre. (also, where you do your near work from)
- The way the frame wraps around your face.
- The distance between your eye and the frame.
- The angle at which the frame slopes on your face.
All these measurements are fed into a computer software. A very advanced algorithm then calculates the exact power at every 1/10th mm of the lens area that your lens should have when you see from angles or sideways or from any part of the lens.
The result – crisp, clear, focused vision from every part of the lens. No matter what your power, or not matter what frame shape you want to wear!
A simple example would be to see how a ready-made suit of size 40 fits you. A size 40 does not take into consideration the fact that everyone with a chest size 40 could be a different size on their arms, their waist, their shoulders. Whereas when you get a custom-made suit, the tailor takes measurements of all these aspects and makes you a suit perfectly suited to your body.
What does personalised lenses mean? Aren't all lenses personalised for my number?
In a traditional spectacle, a pre-made spectacle lens having your standard spherical and cylindrical powers is fit into the chosen frame. Your optician will carefully match the geometric centre of the lens to where your pupil rests naturally in a frame.
This makes for a comfortable viewing for most people. In a spectacle lens, as we move away from the centre of the lens, the lens starts getting more and more away from your ideal power in the centre.
Since the pre-made lens comes in a standard size, there is no way to control what power you will see from when you look through the parts of the lens away from the centre. And when you do see not from the centre of the lens, but from the corners or higher or lower up – you are seeing from an imperfect zone.
Which in turn means you are not seeing as sharp and clear as you should. This happens more so when your power (spherical or cylindrical is higher) or when the frame you have chosen is either large, or very stylishly shaped (but not geometrically ideal)
Zylux Anti Fatigue Lenses
Our eyes have a lens inside which contracts when we need to shift our focus from distance to near, and relaxes when we need to see far again. In today’s world, we use digital devices more than we look in the distance. Focusing for long hours on our computer screens takes a lot of contracting. And sooner or later the muscles doing this start getting tired. Zylux Anti Fatigue lenses are specially designed to take care of this.
They have a slightly higher plus power in the area of the lens where our eyes usually settle in while looking at computer monitors. This helps the eye to not exert itself all day and feel more relaxed.
The lens is available in 3 variants
- 0.50 D – For young patients (18-30) who spend a lot of time on the computer
- 0.75 D – For young patients (30-40) who spend a lot of time reading
- 1.00 D – For pre-presbyopia (those requiring reading glasses) patients who have visual fatigue symptoms.
The lenses use the Zylux and Zylux ATL technologies to provide you with high precision and individualized lenses for your chosen frame. The result is a lens which gives you ergonomic comfort and visual ease of focusing between different zones.
