CAPE COD EYE DOCTORS- NEW VARILUX TECHNOLOGY!

Modern life is so demanding on your eyes

Varilux Comfort is a line of progressive lenses that has established a new standard on the market since its launch. With its high performances and ease of adaptation, it immediately became the well-loved classic of the optician industry. Initially designed to respect the natural postures of the wearer in his/her daily tasks, it provided a maximal visual comfort whatever the activities. But, over the past years many new tools have appeared (mobile phones, MP3 players, computers), which significantly impacted the visual requirements (with miniaturization, screens everywhere, frequent transitions between visions zones). Recently redeveloped to fit this modern environment, Varilux Comfort New Edition offers the wearer a natural vision, whatever the distance and the task, including digital devices.

Widening the field of vision…

The Varilux Comfort 360 New Edition, also known as “Enhanced” in some countries, is a sophisticated version of the Varilux Comfort New Edition. Using the latest technologies ensures all wearers a maximum level of performance for a unique and comfortable vision, whatever the distance, in particular by a wider field of vision, even in complex prescriptions.

CAPE COD EYE FACT- TRANSITIONS LENSES

TRANSITIONS LENSES

Healthy sight in every light!

Transitions lenses darken and fade back to clear for continuing vision comfort and protection.

If you wear regular clear lenses, the glare of the sun can cause you to squint and strain your eyes and make it difficult to see objects clearly in bright light. Through advanced technology, Transitions lenses reduce glare and automatically adjust their level of tint to changing light conditions outdoors. They provide visual comfort and quality at any and every moment, helping you to see better through out the day.

And just like sunblock protects your skin, Transitions lenses help preserve the health and wellness of your eyes for the future by blocking 100% of harmful UV rays.

Children need annual eye examinations! At Bayview Optometrics, we recommend that all children see their Optometrists every year starting from the age of 5 years old unless other concerns arise. The school and pediatric eye screenings are good at detecting major problems but some things are missed. An eye care doctor has the equipment and expertise in properly diagnosing the many varieties of vision concerns.

CAPE COD EYE DOCTOR- WHAT IS 20/20 VISION?

Ever wonder what 20/20 vision actually means?

Visual acuity (VA) is acuteness or clearness of vision, which is dependent on the sharpness of the retinal focus within the eye and the sensitivity of the interpretative faculty of the brain.

Visual acuity is a measure of the spatial resolution of the visual processing system and is usually tested in a manner to optimise and standardise the conditions. To this end, black symbols on a white background are used (for maximum contrast) and a sufficient distance allowed to approximate infinity in the way the lens attempts to focus. Twenty feet is essentially infinity from an optical perspective (the difference in optical power required to focus at 20 feet versus infinity is only 0.164 diopters). Whilst in an eye exam, lenses of varying powers are used to precisely correct for refractive errors, using a pinhole will largely correct for refractive errors and allow VA to be tested in other circumstances. Letters are normally used (as in the classic Snellen chart) as most people will recognise them but other symbols (such as a letter E facing in different directions) can be used instead.

In the term "20/20 vision", the numerator refers to the distance in feet between the subject and the chart. The denominator is the distance at which the lines that make up those letters would be separated by a visual angle of 1 arc minute, which for the lowest line that is read by an eye with no refractive error (or the errors corrected) is usually 20 feet. The metric equivalent is 6/6 vision where the distance is 6 metres. This means that at 20 feet or 6 metres, a typical human eye, able to separate 1 arc minute, can resolve lines with a spacing of about 1.75mm. 20/20 vision can be considered nominal performance for human distance vision; 20/40 vision can be considered half that acuity for distance vision and 20/10 vision would be twice normal acuity. The 20/x number does not directly relate to the eyeglass prescription required to correct vision, because it does not specify the nature of the problem with the lens, only the resulting performance. Instead an eye exam seeks to find the prescription that will provide at least 20/20 vision.
