It is often thought that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but they are much more than just that. Our eyes play a vital role in our perception and experience of the world and the quality of our everyday lives. Unfortunately, a gradual reduction in the quality of our vision is something that affects the majority of the population as we age. Fortunately, with the technology available today, it is possible to completely correct most forms of vision loss or degradation with the correct prescription lenses. Local UK company, The Glasses Company, is focused on educating their customers regarding their prescriptions so that they can make an informed choice regarding the correct lenses for their eyes and level of vision.

“The most common type of prescription we see is for reading glasses, and we want to make our customers aware about how important these glasses can be and why they should honor any prescription they receive from the optometrist with the correct lenses,” says Dinesh Kanzaria, Marketing Director of The Glasses Company. “Reading glasses are the most common type of glasses. They allow the wearer to see clearly at a close distance. They are often used for reading and close computer work. Weakened eyesight for reading is degenerative. This means many people over the age of 40 require some form of reading spectacles. That is why it is so important to have your eyes tested regularly, particularly as you age.”

Single vision lenses are the simplest and most common form of prescription lenses. The whole lens will contain a single uniform power to correct. This means glasses with these types of lenses can be used for only one of three things. They are used for reading glasses for near vision, intermediate vision for computer work, and distance vision for driving. If you have a single vision prescription it is important to wear the correct lenses for the purpose they are intended and not to write it off as unimportant because it is simply a single vision lens. They serve an important function and can prevent your eyesight from deteriorating further.

Bifocals and varifocals are other types of lenses that will be prescribed but these prescriptions are stronger and usually ordered for people with significant vision loss or problems. Bifocals are a single lens with two segments - normally with the upper part of the lens for distance and the lower part for reading. Varifocals are a single lens that allows clear vision at near and at distance without the separating line of bifocal lenses. Regardless of the type of lenses you require, it is important to wear the correct lenses for the purpose they are intended to ensure that your vision is as good as possible for as long as possible.
