Options for your new specs

Great, I have a huge scratch on my glasses! 

By Amy Contizano, ABOC

“My lenses are all scratched up.  I wonder if the scratches can be buffed out.”

A very common question that patients have posed to me over the years.  No, scratches can’t be buffed out of lenses; doing so would actually change the prescription.  So what happens when your lenses are all scratched up?  The only solution here is to replace the lenses.  If you elected to coat your lenses with a non-glare coating, then chances are that you have at least a one year warranty allowing you to replace scratched lenses at no charge.  Aside from having an extended scratch warranty, a non-glare coating can eliminate glare while driving at night or while working on the computer or even from the overhead fluorescent lighting that is present in most offices.  What I do encounter as the most common complaint about the non-glare coating is how to keep lenses clean.

The best way to care for your lenses is by using a cleaning spray and a microfiber cleaning cloth.  If a cleaning spray isn't available, then at least rinse the lenses off with water.  The reason for this is that if there are any minute dust particles on the lenses and you just start wiping them, then it will rub the dust into the coating, scratching your lenses.  So you always want to rinse the lenses first to get everything off of them before wiping.  Another thing that people don’t realize is that fabric softeners and laundry detergents are harsh and can scratch lenses and coatings.  What does that mean?  Stop using your shirt to clean your glasses, haha!  Wood products will also scratch lenses so refrain from using tissue or paper towels to clean lenses.  Using harsh chemicals like Windex can not only scratch lenses but also strip coatings off.

Cleaning cloths are also reusable so when it starts to seem as though it’s no longer helping to clean your lenses, just hand wash it with a mild hand soap and let it air dry.  That way, you aren’t exposing it to laundry detergents and you don’t run the risk of shrinking the microfiber material in the dryer.  It shrinks up to the size of a postage stamp, definitely not useful any more!  Here at Global Laser Vision, we carry a specially formulated eyeglass cleaner available to you with a cleaning cloth for $6.95.  Use it all up?  No problem!  Bring us the empty bottle and we’d be more than happy to refill it for you.  Refills are only $5.

#TipTuesday : Eye Plugs - Dry Relief

Last Chance!!!

Don't let the summer sun beat you this year! Fight back!

What Are The Benefits of Eye Plugs & What Do They Do?

---

Dry eye is a condition that millions of Americans deal with daily.  Sometimes, simple home remedies or over-the-counter eyedrops relieve people's scratchy, irritated eyes, but most continue to suffer.  AngioTech created the perfect solution with the UltraPlug Permanent Punctal Plug - simple, pain free and long lasting relief!  The plugs work by temporarilyblocking the tear drainage channel, in the inner corner of the eye, which keeps more moisture in the eye.  These are especially effective for all you post-op LASIK patients who have experienced drier than normal eyes!  Interested but want some more info?  Give us a call or check out this great article here: AllAboutVision.com

Digitize your life! - Digital Lens

Digitize your life!

By Amy Contizano, ABOC

With technology evolving as quickly as it is, it’s no wonder that the optical industry is constantly changing and improving.  A really great lens technology has come out in recent years that I feel most people still don’t know about, Free Form digital lenses, giving patients high definition vision. 

As most patients can attest, especially contact lens wearers, there comes a point with a conventional lens where things just aren’t as crisp and clear as they could be.  This is because as your eye tracks to different parts of the lens, the prescription varies slightly as you get further and further away from the optical center which is where the best clarity is achieved.  With digital lens technology, they have been able to calculate your optimal prescription throughout the lens, giving you that optical center clarity throughout the entire lens.  This enhances your vision by giving you more crisp vision and better clarity and results in what patients have been calling HD vision.

This sort of technology is especially great for patients who have high prescriptions.  Digital lenses will greatly enhance vision for patients with high prescriptions.  It’s a great option for patents who wear contact lenses as well.  Contact lens wearers are always telling me that their vision isn’t as clear with glasses as it is with their contacts.  This is because with the contact lens directly on the eye, everywhere you look things are nice and clear and when you switch back to glasses the prescription changes throughout the lens become more noticeable.  Digital lenses are a great way to get seamless, high definition vision.

Global Laser Vision is excited to announce the introduction of our high end eye wear package.  A package valued at $587 which includes the selection of a new Viva Collection frame, thin and lightweight Shamir Spectrum digital lenses with a SharpView non-glare coating is available to Global Laser Vision patients for $250.  Additional fees will apply for upgrades such as Transitions lenses that darken when outdoors or to make them polarized for sunglasses.  A 20% courtesy will be applied on additional pairs of glasses purchased outside of the package deal.  Stop in today to see what high definition vision will do for you!
