Introduction
The main purpose of this book is to help you make a smart choice when you acquire your next visual orthosis.
Having worked in the optical field as a professional for several years, I decided to share with you different facets of the vision and the ways used to correct it.
Not being tied to any dispensary, clinic, office or optical company at the time of this writing, I feel free to share my knowledge with you. I will also share some of the practices used when selling these items.
Only corrective eyeglasses data will be discussed, contact lenses and refractive surgeries are another area of practice, however, these solutions should not be put aside and may be very practical for many.
It should be noted that a pair of eyeglasses is not a therapeutic tool, but a good corrector. It does not improve the vision to the point where we could stop wearing and have found a perfect vision. The only events where they could have a therapeutic effect is when it is used for a young person (infant) suffering from strabismus, in this case it could have the effect of forcing one or more of the six muscles surrounding the eyeball, to make it more adapted
to the functions assigned to it. If the muscle strengthens, it will have the effect of avoiding surgery that could allow the eyeball to find the proper place to provide a balanced vision.
So eyeglasses are prescribed and worn to improve vision. In fact it would not allow the eye to self-compensate, we wear it we can see if not worn the vision becomes blurred.
In the chapters that follow, the different problems of vision and the lenses used to correct them will be discussed, including Rx, the different materials of which the lenses are made of, the effects of the size of lens required to make glasses according to the prescription, the measures and their functions, the different treatments, the colors as well as various elements to take into account to have the best orthosis for your needs.
Vision
Myopia
Myopia is a vision disorder where the person sees blurred afar.
The image of a point is no longer a point but a spot on the retina, the perception of a distant object is fuzzy. The further the object is, the more it is fuzzy (depending on the value of myopia).
All in all, the myopic sees far less than near. This can be corrected by glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.
The focus of an object located at the infinite
is in front of the retina. The image that will impress the retina will be more spread out and more blurred.
Hyperopia
Hyperopia also known as ar-sightedness is a vision disorder. From a pure optical point of view, hyperopia is the opposite of myopia: when the eye is at rest, it gives a distant object, an image that would be focused behind the retina.
Hyperopia can be corrected with converging lenses.
The light rays obviously can not cross the eye wall: it is only theoretically that the image is focused behind the retina.
« At rest », that is to say without the intervention that accommodation allows, as much as possible (see presbyopia), to increase the power of the optical system of the eye, accommodation brings back
the image formed behind the retina on the latter.
In the absolute, the eye, always at rest (without accommodation), would see the objects all the more fuzzy as they get closer.
Astigmatism
Defect of optical systems that do not give a dot a point image, but an image spread in the anteroposterior direction.
Normally, the surfaces of the cornea and lens
