The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

[GANGSTERKIA]

Thank you for your detailed comments!!
May I ask if progressive lens will help on this problem?

Ah yes, I highly believe that progressive lenses will help you with this issue.
The way a progressive works is that the top area generally is for your distance, The middle area(a small area) is for intermediate viewing e.g. computer monitor screens and finally the bottom segment is meant for near reading. In your case the reason why the reading is blurred like i mentioned earlier is due to the Presence of Presbyopia. Thus progressive lenses has addition(add) power at the reading segment to actually aid you in the near work.
How it actually works is E.g. the top segment(distance power is -1.50) , the power gradually decreases down the lens e.g. top -1.50 middle -1.00 bottom -0.50 thus all these lowered power is actually the addition power for you to do your near reading work. Because near reading powered is term as e.g. +1.00 +1.50 (addition) thus from a -1.50 to a -0.50 there is a difference of +1.00. Thus your reading power is +1.00.
There are also alot more about progressives such as the peripheral distortions, the different Corridors Long/short and more..
Hope i did not further complicate the explaination. haha
(correct me if i am wrong fellow optoms/opticians)

Any idea which lens is less straining or can protect the eyes if facing computer screen frequently?

My astigmatism is quite high, if that needed to be taken into consideration.

Sorry for noob question, know nuts about lens.

But be mindful that, blue filter lens usually comes with slight yellow tint.

Especially graphic designer, better not get this..

You could however opt to take a bus(fare RM1.5) to either KSL or holiday plaza.there more affordable/reasonable

City sq all branded ****, lens prices also alot higher. Holiday plaza would be cheaper. Either way KSL and holiday plaza within like 5 10min walking dist.

I did my spects at holiday plaza(ban eyecare) with blue coating lens,sell me simi "blue whale" brand lens, say is US brand(not sure how true is this, search Google can only find a factory in KL..)

Don't know I suay or wat.. Either way, aft afew mths lens come loose(the string that tie the lens break..), aft half yr coating start eroding..
Just went back for that earlier this week, now they tell me send lens back to supplier, supplier don't have stock for lens of my degree.. need 4weeks to get stock..

Yeah , not for graphic designers.. mine doesn't have yellow tint.

I've compared many lens samples some purplish , some more bluish or some have yellow tint. Depends on what u are comfortable with.
