Instead of another pair of slippers this year, think outside the box this Holiday Season and give your loved one something they can really use, the gift of sight. Everyone can use a comprehensive eye exam, contact lenses, new glasses, designer frames or sunglasses. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Eye Glasses
Glasses should match the lifestyle and needs of the one wearing them, as well as be stylish.
Lenses for Single Vision: Very common with those who need only one prescription, usually near-sighted or far-sighted.
Progressive Lenses: Provides a seamless transition for a variety of distances. From far, near and in between, progressive lenses can make all the difference in good vision. They can also be tailored to suit individual needs with anti-reflective coating tinted lenses, scratch resistance, and mirror coating.
Digital Lenses: Can be custom-made with precise laser technology, making them 6 times more precise than the abrasive grinding method. They can be enhanced with peripheral and nighttime vision.
Non-Perscription Lenses: They can do so much more than make you look great, they can keep your eyes heathy by protecting them from high energy wavelength of light called blue light. This light is emitted from computer screens, fluorescent lights, smart phones, tablets and TV, shielding your eyes from the blue light can help you sleep better at night and protect your vision as we age.
Contact Lenses
Disposable Lenses: Daily used contact lenses are used once and then disposed. They are the most popular choice, offering convenience and healthy vision.
Reusable Lenses: Can be worn from one week to one month, but must be disinfected and cleaned daily.
Whether it’s for you or a loved one, this holiday season give a unique and thoughtful gift that will also help their vision.
