Professional Driver? Casual Driver? Drivewear Lenses Are a Must!

Yet, it doesn’t have to be this way – even if you wear prescription glasses. If you’re like me (a casual driver who likes to pretend you’re a pro) and prefer precision vision when you’re behind the wheel, you’re going to love Transitions® Drivewear® lenses!

Ah, the joys of aging! As we age, every part of the body undergoes changes, including our eyes. As your vision begins to change, you may wonder what is normal (and what is not). If you are experiencing these issues, join the crowd. All of us over a certain age (generally age 40) eventually experience these four vision changes:

Whether you are a gamer, work on a computer, or just use your iPad, phone, tv, tablet, and other devices with digital displays casually for entertainment or to keep in touch with the world, you are being exposed to blue light. This high-energy form of radiation is composed of short wavelengths that are suspected of contributing to serious eye damage with overexposure. Ultraviolet light has been indicated as a strong causative agent in cataracts, tumor growth, and cancer. While the eye is capable of filtering out UV light to some extent, sadly it is just not very good at filtering out blue light. With most of us experiencing 10+ hours of exposure to unnatural blue light per day, there is growing concern that this light may be causing serious damage.

Stressed out? Your vision can be seriously and permanently impacted by all types of stress! From physical and physiological stress to long-term psychological and mental stress, the effects can range from minor to severe – and can even lead to blindness. Even if you do not regularly wear corrective lenses, you may have noticed that during periods of particularly intense stress events, your vision may go blurry, become uncomfortable, or even result in debilitating symptoms of vision loss that can stress you out even more. Fortunately, help is available.

You look your best when you’re wearing the colors that work with your hair and eye color as well as your skin tone. There aren’t many of us who can pull off wearing banana yellow, but when you see it happen, it’s something you won’t soon forget. Likewise, there are certain styles that match (rather than conflict with) your personality. You know what I’m talking about here… While I can’t give you much advice when it comes to whether that bright blue eyeshadow is flattering or not (yes I can: AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.) or whether you should wear the leopard print on your big date (I’ll leave that one up to you), I can give you some solid tips on picking out the best eyeglass frames for your face shape. Let’s keep you looking your best. Let’s get started.

Aside from naming your firstborn child, is there any more difficult decision than choosing the best contacts? Is it worth it? Should you just give up and resign to wearing eyeglasses 24/7/365? Relax. I’ll walk you through it in just a few minutes.

The age-old debate of whether glasses or contact lenses are better has been around since contact lenses were first invented in either 1887 or 1888 (but that is another debate for another article). We have some real die-hard fans out there for each, but all I can tell you is that you have to go with what works for you. It’s really a personal preference.

If you are experiencing vision that is blurry up-close, far away, and at every distance in between, you may be experiencing the effects of astigmatism. Unlike nearsightedness and farsightedness, astigmatism is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea (on the external eye surface) or lens (inside the eye). This irregularity prevents all incoming light and images from properly focusing on the retina (within the back inside surface of the eye). If you are experiencing blurry vision at all distances, along with eye pain and/or headaches, it is time to take action and schedule an eye exam at your nearest Wise Eyes Optical center.

It goes without saying that wearing eyeglasses instantly makes you appear more intelligent, but beyond that, what exactly do your eyeglasses say about you? Every aspect of our appearance sends out a message to those around us. Considering that our glasses sit directly on our face, there is perhaps no article of clothing or accessory that serves as a better indicator of our personalities. From size and shape to color and material, your eyewear is sending a clear message. Be sure you’re communicating what you intend to say about yourself!
