OPHTHALMIC LENSES

Those who need reading glasses and and also manifest myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, often are in search for glasses which corretcs all defects With progressive lenses or even called “multifocal lenses”, different gradation needs can be satisfied simultaneously because a single lens is divided into three vision areas and allows different problems to be solved with a single pair of glasses.

With office lenses, you experience a whole new way of watching terminal videos, smartphones, tablets, thanks to lenses optimized for the use of digital devices. On average we look at different electronic screens at least five hours every day. Specifically we tend to have our eyes focused in smartphone screen up to 80 times a day! These figures are set to grow in the future. Due to the small, coupled with the ever-changing close focus from the screen to distant objects, our eyes are put to the test.

From the age of 30 these efforts can increase digital visual stress or, as experts call it, “computer vision syndrome”.

Modern lighting sources emit more blue light than before. Blue light can be dangerous and many find it annoying and stressful to their eyes. It also negatively affects the natural biorhythm. A special blue light filter in the eyeglass lenses can increase comfort for the eyes.

Juvenile developmental myopia is an increasingly widespread condition and therefore requires careful management. Technical studies quantify that, by 2050, the subjects requiring myopic corrections in Europe will reach about 50% of young people. It is important and necessary to adopt all possible strategies.

The corrective methods are:
Orthokeratology (wearing night contact lenses)
The Menicon Bloom Night / Bloom Night Toric contact lenses
Soft contact lenses with defocus (specific)
Menicon Bloom Day contact lenses
Specific ophthalmic lenses
The Essilor Stellest lenses
Atropine (low dose medical drug)

The Essilor Stellest project (approved by the Bicocca University of Milan) for ophthalmic lenses and Menicon Bloom (CE Certification on the safety of the medical device) for Day contact lenses and Night Orthokeratology, demonstrate that research in the field of myopic progression is a subject of much attention of the technical companies of the sector.Each case must be evaluated, after an Ophthalmologist examination, to consider both, advantages and disadvantages.

These are the sort of lenses that automatically darken when exposed to the UV rays of the sun and lighten when exposure to the sun ends. The intensity of the colour of the lens gradually adapts to the intensity of the light in the environment. The photochromic lenses help the eyes to adapt to different light conditions, allowing a comfortable vision, without straining the eyes.
