Special Glasses/Frames?!
Question: Lets say i have some Thick lenses for my eyes, is it best to get Thinner lenses, because using thicker lenses can be worse on your eyes than thinner lenses.
What are some symptoms that a person may experience from being in front of a desktop/LCD computer screen for so long, and does using Glare-Free lenses prevent those symptoms.
Another thing, you know those frames that have the bottom half missing, and they are only held together by a fishing line, my question is, which lenses pop out more, then ones that are held in place by a fishing line, or the ones where the top and bottom of the frames are screwed in together.
I'm trying to find out rather or not i made the right choice on the glasses I ordered.

Hi, I have worked for an opthamologists/optometrists for about 9 years. I do a variety of things, one is cutting and edging lenses and putting them in the frames. I think that what they sold you is right on....do you know if your prescription is in plus or minus?? just curious. If your vision was like 20/30 or so, I wouldnt recommend purchasing the thinner lenses. Now on the A/R coating...I think it is to your advantage as well. There are different types of coating, some being a little better than others, (as far as smudging goes) but, they do make the lenses look a whole lot better. One last question...did you get polycarbonate lenses or were they thin & light? Makes a difference as far as the a/r coating goes. When you have the coating on your lenses, when someone is looking directly at you they will be able to see your eyes. Without the coating they would see more of a glare. Some "premium" A/R coatings make the lenses look almost invisible. Now on the frames....I personally dont like the semi-rimless frames, because I get so tired of putting lenses back in for people. You really have to treat them like a baby...be gentle with them. Hope this helps.
WOW how much are the lens?? $250 sounds high if you don't have a bifocal. glasses with a semi-rim are great lens! and yes they are held together by fishing line:) they hold up just as well as a full rim frame.. AND you NEVER have to worry about a screw falling out! but i would say if you have thick lens( if i knew what your Rx was i could tell ya how thick they would be but that's OK) I would go with a High Index lens and if your getting a semi-rim frame go with a ROLL & Polish.. ( roll and polish is were they cut the edge of your lens down to look smooth and not ruff on the edges.. I'm not trying to tell ya were to go but at walmart high index lens ($160) roll & polish ($10) but if you have a really high Rx you may have a High Rx fee and that would bring up the price some too..
ps full rim frames and semi-rim hold up about the same :) i would always go with noglare and make sure get uv to help your eyes from uv rays
