Polished Comfort Clarity Reading Glasses, Frame Material : Polycarbonate

reading glasses: comfort and clarity at an affordable price (model 117 spring)

these reading glasses, model 117 spring, prioritize comfort, affordability, and durability through their lightweight polycarbonate frames and acrylic lenses.

• frames: made from polycarbonate, a popular choice for its trifecta of benefits:

  • impact resilience: they're significantly more resistant to breakage compared to traditional glass frames, making them ideal for active individuals or those around children. no more worries about accidental drops or bumps!
  • lightweight comfort: polycarbonate's lightness translates to enhanced comfort, especially during extended reading sessions. you'll barely feel them on your face!
  • cost-effectiveness: polycarbonate frames are generally more affordable than other materials, making them an attractive budget-friendly option.

• lenses: the acrylic lenses complement the frames perfectly, offering similar advantages:

  • lightweight match: they contribute to the overall comfortable wear of the glasses.
  • budget-friendly: acrylic is a cost-effective alternative to glass lenses, keeping the overall price accessible.
  • impact resistance: while not quite reaching the level of polycarbonate, they provide more impact resistance than glass lenses, offering some peace of mind.

power up for clear vision (understanding the power ranges):

the reading glasses come in a variety of magnification strengths to cater to different vision needs. here's a breakdown to help you find your perfect fit:

• +0.25 to +4.00 (farsightedness): this range is designed for individuals with farsightedness, also known as hyperopia. people with this condition see distant objects clearly but struggle to focus on near objects like reading material. the higher the plus number (e.g., +1.00, +1.50, +2.00, and so on), the stronger the magnifying power to help them focus on near tasks.

• -0.25 to -4.00 (nearsightedness): this range addresses nearsightedness, also known as myopia. people with nearsightedness see close objects clearly but distant objects appear blurry. the higher the minus number (e.g., -1.00, -1.50, -2.00, and so on), the stronger the corrective power to improve their distance vision.

• plano-kt +1.00 to +3.00 (presbyopia): this appears to be a specific range for presbyopia, a condition caused by aging that makes it difficult to focus on near objects. "plano-kt" likely indicates that these lenses have no magnification for distance vision (plano) and the kt might be a designation by the manufacturer for this particular presbyopia correction type. the power increases in increments of 0.25, ranging from +1.00 to +3.00 magnification for near tasks. this range is suitable for people who experience age-related difficulties with near vision.

in simpler terms:

imagine these reading glasses as a spectrum of magnifying powers:

• for people who see far objects clearly but struggle with reading (farsighted): +0.25 to +4.00 magnification strengthens their near vision.
• for people who see near objects clearly but struggle with distance vision (nearsighted): -0.25 to -4.00 magnification corrects their distant vision.
• for people with age-related near vision difficulties (presbyopia): plano-kt +1.00 to +3.00 magnification provides reading assistance.

the increments of 0.25 between power levels allow for a more precise fit to individual needs, potentially enhancing reading comfort and reducing eye strain by providing the exact level of magnification required. with their combination of affordability, durability, comfort, and a variety of power options, these reading glasses can be a great choice for everyday use.
