What are the different types of eyewear available on the market?

There are a variety of glasses to suit different needs and preferences. The main categories include :

  1. Eyeglasses: Designed to correct visual deficiencies such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.
  2. Sunglasses: Protect against ultraviolet (UV) rays and reduce glare, essential for eye health.
  3. Safety goggles: Used in work environments to protect eyes from physical or chemical injury.
  4. Sports eyewear: Designed to offer optimum protection and comfort during sporting activities, often equipped with resistant lenses and flexible frames.

Each type of eyewear can be fitted with specific lenses, such as progressive lenses, anti-reflective lenses, or photochromic lenses that adapt to variations in light.

How to choose the right pair of glasses?

There are a number of factors to take into account when choosing a pair of glasses, to guarantee comfort and functionality:

  • Visual correction: Make sure your prescription is up-to-date and accurate.
  • Face shape: Select frames that complement your face shape. For example, round frames for a square face, or angular frames for a round face.
  • Frame material: Titanium, plastic or metal frames offer different advantages in terms of weight, durability and allergy.
  • Style and color: Choose colors that harmonize with your skin tone and your usual wardrobe.

What are the advantages of anti-reflective lenses?

Anti-reflective lenses offer several significant advantages:

  • Reduced glare: They minimize reflected light, which is particularly beneficial when driving at night or using computers.
  • Improved visual comfort: These lenses reduce eyestrain by improving clarity of vision.
  • Aesthetics: They make the lenses virtually invisible, enhancing the natural appearance of your face.

How do I care for my glasses to extend their life?

To keep your eyewear in top condition, follow these maintenance tips:

  • Regular cleaning: Use a special eyewear spray and a soft cloth to avoid scratches.
  • Secure storage: Keep your glasses in a hard case when not in use to protect them from physical damage.
  • Periodic adjustments: Have your eyewear professionally adjusted to ensure a comfortable, correct fit.

What technological innovations are built into modern eyewear?

Modern eyewear incorporates a variety of technologies to enhance performance and comfort, such as :

  • Digital lenses: Offer clearer, more precise vision, specifically adapted to your prescription thanks to advanced manufacturing techniques.
  • Adjustable frames: Made from innovative materials such as Memory Metal, these frames can be bent back to their original shape.
  • Blue-light filtering lenses: Designed to block or filter the blue light emitted by screens, these lenses help reduce eyestrain.

How do I know if my glasses prescription is still valid?

To determine whether your eyewear prescription is still appropriate, we recommend that you consult an optometrist or ophthalmologist on a regular basis. Generally speaking, a prescription is considered valid for 1 to 2 years. However, if you begin to experience headaches, blurred vision, or increased visual fatigue, it may be necessary to have your prescription reviewed sooner. Following these guidelines is crucial to maintaining optimal vision.

What are the signs of needing glasses for the first time?

There are several signs that may indicate a potential need for glasses:

  • Difficulty reading near or far: squinting to see clearly.
  • Blurred vision: difficulty seeing details clearly at different distances.
  • Frequent eye fatigue: stinging, burning or red eyes after periods of reading or in front of a screen.
  • Headaches: often caused by overtaxing the eyes to compensate for imperfect vision.

If you notice one or more of these symptoms, we recommend an eye examination.

What are the latest trends in eyewear design?

Current trends in eyewear design combine functionality and fashion. Popular trends include:

  • Minimalist frames: sleek, subtle designs that emphasize a sophisticated, professional look.
  • Boldly colored frames: bright colors and patterns to express a unique personality.
  • Retro glasses: the return of vintage styles with thick, round frames, reminiscent of models from the 50s and 60s.
  • Integrated technology: glasses with smart sensors or Bluetooth connections to enhance everyday interaction with technology.

How do progressive lenses work and for whom are they suitable?

Progressive lenses are designed to provide continuous vision correction at all distances. They are particularly useful for people suffering from presbyopia, an age-related condition that affects the ability to see up close. These lenses have no visible lines between the different correction zones, offering a smooth transition from distance, intermediate to near vision. They are ideal for those who need both reading glasses and distance glasses.

How important is UV protection, and how can glasses help?

Protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays is crucial to eye health. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to serious diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Sunglasses and even some prescription glasses are equipped with lenses treated to block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Choosing glasses with built-in UV protection is essential to prevent these risks, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors or in bright environments.
