Your Eye Secrets Report

Eyeglasses most consumers are concerned:
1st There is a trick for 50% off sale?
2nd add "accessories" such as UV and scratch protection really worth?
3rd Buy one of the "get one free" may be?
4th How do I know I have the right frame for my prescription?
5th Why such a difference in price between the optical shop?
6th Is there a difference in eyeglass lenses?
7th How do I know that I am paying too much for my frame?

==============================

In this brief report will attempt to answer some of these issues.

Or trick behind the 50% off sale?

Let's use a common sense approach to the assessment of this offer. It is not very likely to offer the product work for less than their purchase price. So, when the optical companies with sales of 50% of one of two things happens. They want to get rid of obsolete goods or products margin was inflated to begin with. How could afford to discount 50% of the products and still make any profit?

Over 50% OFF stopped selling advertising box. While this May to save money, make sure that my mother to buy a product that is obsolete. Replace broken or broken pieces of the temple frame is interrupted can be difficult, if not impossible.
Fifty percent of sales are also frequently on frames that are marked by 3 to 31 / 2 times their cost, and then reduced to 50 percent. So you end up paying close to regular retail box, which is advertised at 50% off.

Often, at 50% of sales, you'll notice that the framework offered discounts if you buy "premium" lens.

This is a catch! You will overpay for these lenses. Often, the price is higher than ordinary lenses. So you think you've got a good job, because the box is half price. Shop around for the lens in your price range. You'll be better prepared in the survey 50% of sales.

Be sure to read the fine print in the ads.

Stores, which run 50 hours% OFF 365 days a year, were simply the product labeling for its reduction. This is very wrong. You May even find that some optical shops have a 50% discount as a regular practice.
There are cheaper and easier ways to save money and get real quality frames and lenses at very affordable prices.

==============================

WHY Optical you can always trying to sell supplements?

This is big profit area for most optical companies, and "easy money".

Many optical gives generous commissions and sales incentives for sales staff based solely on the number of shades, scratch coating, UV protection, polishing, edge and servicing agreement of sale.

For low cost, which can significantly increase the optical business of selling price Okular use "bonus".

Add-ons can be over 30% of the cost of glasses, often gives the company excessive and unprecedented profits.

Buy only the protective coatings that are needed. Specialty lenses, such as hi-index lenses and polycarbonate materials come with protection against scratches and UV coatings manufacturer.
So you do not have to pay a ADD-ON FEE, these coatings are added! Already on the lens!

Again, do not overpay. If your prescription requires hi-she or polycarbonate lenses, lenses are UV and scratch coating on the already impregnated lens.

Often, when pressed in terms of sales, some companies provide protection against scratches optical, UV coating and polishing the edge for half the price! Negotiations and insist on a discount.

==============================

The truth behind "to get the free"?

In this progression, while the second pair advertised as free, "no frame" is not the same one on the first frame of your purchase. "No Border" is usually one of the selected special collection in storage. These cheap frames, optical storage costs about $ 2 to $ 4 each.

You pay more "full" price for the first couple and told to get another pair free.

The lenses are used to fill a prescription in the free pair are often cheap, uncoated lenses. Optical giving away a free pair?

Not true!

Retail makes money from this promotion by encouraging consumers to purchase "add-on 'package coatings. These coatings for scratch protection, UV coating and tint. Total for all three options can cost from $ 29 to $ 59th

It will scan anywhere from $ 23 to $ 53 on your pair of FREE!

In fact, you are overpaying for their first pair and getting a poor quality frame for the second pair.

==============================

How to recognize and avoid the cheap frames?

The optical industry is considered "cheap", a framework for optical storage costs anywhere from $ 1-7 U.S. dollars Yes, believe it or not, whether imported eyeglass frames that cost as little as $ 1, some optical shops sell for $ 39 to $ 99!

In many optical stores these frames are often found:
- "Extra pair" section
- With "buy one get one free" promotions
- In conjunction with the promotion of contact lenses
- In some of the Vision Insurance Plans
- Often advertised, $ 79 full glasses. "

Frames are usually made in the Far East with low inventories. Often tarnish easily. Cheap frames will not stay in adjustment, it will often chip coatings hands, loosen the screws and the frame will break easily.

Be very careful in spending their money on these boxes.

Brand or designer frames do not fall into this category. You can be almost sure that everything is well-known name designer frames from top quality materials, will have more coordination and will not easily tarnish.

Guidelines for choosing the right size box for prescribing

There are usually composed of two parts for all prescription glasses.

Are you, or myopic, meaning that you can see near, but not remotely, or farsighted, which means the opposite.

About 70% of ocular holder also some form of astigmatism. It simply means that the front of the eye, the cornea, has 2 different curvatures (like football). So lenses formed by two different curves in the shape of the eyes of charge to correct astigmatism.

Here is an example of eyeglass prescription:
OD -3.00/-1.50 x 180
OS X 2.50/-1.00 165

This is what it means.
From the Latin abbreviation for right eye.
OS is the Latin abbreviation for left eye.
The first number (-3.00 in this case) is called a sphere. It says, optics, what power lens to correct myopia (-) or farsightedness (). In our case, the right eye (OD) and myopic left eye (OS) is farsighted.
Figures from (/) based on the amount of astigmatism. (X) stands for the word "axis" and numbers 180 and 165 indicate the placement of the level of astigmatic lenses.

Figures are in decision-making framework for the BEST recipe SIZE SPHERE numbers (-3.00 and 2.50 in our case).

If your prescription is less than -2.50 2.50, or almost any size and shape of the frame will be suitable for your prescription. You do not require hi-index or a thin and light lens prescription. Each box of regular plastic lens thickness from the edge will be acceptable and will look nice cosmetics for you.

For -2.50 to -4.00 prescription should choose the frame size of eye 54 or less. The size is written on the inner arm of the frame. If you have a framework for increasing the size or style, face shape, and then make sure you get the hi-index or a thin and light lens. Otherwise, your lenses will have thick edges.

Do not choose rimless frames, if your prescription is over -2.50 unless you use high index lenses or lens thickness from the edge will be a problem.

For -4.00 to -6.00 prescription, it is recommended that your lens Hi-index materials, and that dimension is minimized. This will ensure that your glasses look thinner.

If you are unsure about which lens best suited for your prescription, or if you have a very difficult and high prescription call 1-800-248-9427 and ask for objective information and assistance.

Trained staff will help you understand your prescription and what lens you use. The service is free.

UNDERSTANDING SINGLE VISION LENS MATERIALS

There are many single vision lens materials, but the most commonly used polymer is a plastic material known as CR-39. Because of its light weight, very comfortable and can be tinted almost any color and density.

However, some CR-39 lenses produce low quality and inferior product. Often distorted lens, resulting in 'soft spots' of poor vision through the lens.

Manufacturers who produce very high quality optical lens, which can be ordered in a very effective protective barrier to scratch, Seiko, SILOR schools.

Thin-plastic (hi-index) and light lenses are also available. Refractive index of this material is higher than regular plastic lenses. This means that the thinner the lens can do the same job that thicker lenses normally do. These lenses are about 35% thinner and lighter than regular plastic lenses.

Be aware, however, different grades and quality of these lenses. The higher refractive index, thin lenses.

Top quality hi-index lenses have refractive index of 1.60 or 1.66. Some still use optical lenses with a refractive index of 1.54, but charge a 1.60 price target, and John Q. public does not know the difference. If your prescription requires hi-index lenses, insist on 1.60 or 1.66 hi-index refractive lens for the best quality and thinner lenses.

We recommend the following hi-index lenses:
- Thin & Lite Silor refractive index 1.60
- Pentax THC 1.60 refractive index
- Pentax very slim 1.66 with anti-reflective
- Seiko Super 16 MX
- Seiko Super 16 diacoat
- Optima Aspheric 1.66
- Optima Aspheric 1.60
- Optima Hyper 1.60
- Each product Sola

Other material called polycarbonate, it is often presented as a thin and light lens. It is softer than CR-39 can cause scratches and can not be tinted as dark as plastic lenses. It's definitely thinner and lighter than regular plastic. Many optical promote this material in hi-index, because it costs less, but often charge the same price as the hi-index lenses.

Polycarbonate is very resistant to crushing, and is recommended for children or persons who should be protected by eye safety. However newerhi index lenses sometimes have better optics than the polycarbonate, which is sometimes peripheral distortion. If you are selling thinner and lighter lenses, ask if polycarbonate or hi-index plastic.

NOTE: polycarbonate and hi-index plastic lenses come with scratch protection and UV protection.
