Short-sighted glasses and Short-sighted lenses

Short-sightedness lenses are single vision lenses designed to correct myopia, a condition where the eye has an abnormal curvature of the cornea or an elongated eyeball. This causes light to refract more than usual, focusing in front of the retina and making distant objects appear blurry. Short-sightedness lenses adjust the light's focal point to align correctly with the retina, allowing individuals with myopia to see distant objects more clearly.

When should you use short-sightedness lenses?

  • Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly or experiencing blurred vision
  • Needing to squint, stare closely, or cover one eye to see better
  • Experiencing eye strain when focusing on distant objects, leading to headaches and eye pain

How to choose the right short-sightedness glasses for your needs

When choosing short-sightedness glasses, you should primarily consider the frame and lens thickness. This can be categorized based on the prescription strength, which directly affects the lens thickness. The prescription strengths are divided into four ranges as follows:

  • 1. Thin and Lightweight Short-Sightedness Lenses

    For individuals with a high prescription of -3.50 or more, it is recommended to use thin and lightweight lenses. These lenses help ensure that the glasses look aesthetically pleasing and do not have lenses that protrude from the frame, which could affect the wearer's appearance. Thin and lightweight lenses come in various levels, starting from Index 1.6, 1.67, 1.70, and up to 1.74. This means that a higher Index value results in a thinner lens for short-sightedness.

  • 2. Blue Light Blocking Short-Sightedness Lenses

    With the widespread use of mobile phones and computers, which emit blue light, the eyes can be affected in various ways, such as causing irritation, eye strain, and pain. Short-sightedness lenses can be chosen with blue light blocking features to help reflect or absorb blue light, reducing its direct impact on the eyes.

  • 3. Prescription Sunglasses for Short-Sightedness

    Individuals with short-sightedness often face difficulties when outdoors. Better Vision offers prescription sunglasses that can be customized with short-sightedness prescriptions. These lenses feature UV protection to enhance eye comfort. You can choose from single colors or gradient tints, from dark to light, according to your preference, combining both functionality and style.

  • 4. Auto-Tinting Short-Sightedness Lenses

    If you frequently work or live in areas with intense sunlight or have issues with light sensitivity, auto-tinting short-sightedness lenses are an excellent solution. These lenses have a coating that reacts to UV rays. When exposed to sunlight, the lenses darken to protect your eyes from UV light, and when you return to a shaded area, they revert to their clear state.
