Finding Frames
Feeling attractive in your
glasses can be just as important as getting the correct lenses. When it comes to different styles and colors, there are an endless amount of options for your new pair of
glasses. If you are looking for the best frames that will fit your face shape, try looking for square rims if you have a rounder face, while round
glasses seem to compliment angular faces the most. If you are just looking for trendy
glasses then don’t even worry about what
glasses fit your face shape, and just find a pair that you love! For more insight on all the different styles of frames check out

glasses trends for 2019.
Lens
Many people overlook choosing the correct lenses for their lifestyle. The science behind lens coating has grown tremendously and now there are different lenses for every type of lifestyle. Before you can make a decision about adding a protective coating to your
glasses, it is important to know the
different types of lens available.
Anti-Fog Lenses
If you live in a climate with hot summers or cold winters, you know the irritation of walking out of an air conditioned building and suddenly not being able to see through the fog on your
glasses. It is a natural reaction to a drastic change in temperature, but can become a problem, and even dangerous, if it interferes with your eyesight. Anti-fog lenses is new technology that apply a clear coat to prevent your
glasses from fogging up. These are perfect children, athletes, and people who work in restaurants walking in and out of coolers all day.
Scratch Resistant Lenses
With the wear and tear your
glasses will experience from your everyday life scratches are inevitable. Whether you have glass or plastic lenses, none are safe from the threat of scratches. Scratch resistant lenses provide a clear coating on the front of your
glasses to prevent any scratches. This coating is especially helpful for children, who may damage their
glasses more easily. While these lenses won’t protect your
glasses from all harm, the scratch resistant coating will prevent possible clouding and scratches. Invest in the best, most protective lenses so your
glasses can last for years to come.
Anti-Reflective Lenses
If you work in a bright office, in front of a computer screen, or drive at night often you may have dealt with a glare from your
glasses. This can be an annoyance and sometimes dangerous by impairing your vision. Anti-reflective lenses provide a thin, clear layer that prevents light from reflecting off your
glasses.
Ultraviolet Treatment
Ultraviolet exposure is not just a problem for your skin, it is also a problem for your eyes. While you can put sunscreen on your skin, your eyes are often left exposed to these dangerous elements. An ultraviolet treatment to your lenses is not the same as protective sunglasses, instead our treatment provides a clear coating to your
glasses that will not affect your field of vision. This coating protects your eyes against harmful UV rays, while keeping your lenses untinted. This is extremely helpful for people who spend a lot of time outdoors, like children, construction workers, and people living in sunny climates.
The science of lens coating is always expanding, and there are advances to the technology occurring everyday. If you have any questions about lens coating call our office at 334-821-3838, our ophthalmologist, Dr. Anz and his highly experienced staff will be happy to discuss them with you.
Prescription
The most important part of your new
glasses is that your prescription lenses are correct. If you are not sure if your prescription is up to date with the current state of your eye site, contact Medical Arts Eye Clinic to make an appointment for an
eye examination with our certified ophthalmologist.
