Angled Reading Glasses

I just watched the movie, and he had these glasses that angled the view, so basically you could see a book on your lap while laying down. I am interested in purchasing a pair of these because i believe they could be quite useful. If anyone knows where one could purchase them, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks....

If you google Deluxe Prism Glasses, you will find them. I just ordered some! Can't wait to try them! AND.... did you just love the movies ending???

from a blog titled "Touch and Go" - "$4.50 Payment for One Pair of Reading Glasses" by Martysb from a blog titled &quot ...

I got a prescription for bifocals about a year ago. At that point, I could see the computer screen with no problem through the top of my glasses. However, in the past few months, I've caught myself tilting my head up so that I can look through the bottom of my bifocals to see the computer screen.

My mother suggested that I get reading glasses to do my computer work (as that is what she does). However, when I went to the store, I had trouble finding any that made things clear.

The bottom part of my bifocals seem to be just right. So how can I match that up to a pair of reading glasses? My prescription has the following information:

DV OD Spherical -250/Cylindrical -075/Axis 011
DV OS Spherical -100/Cylindrical -125/Axis 125
NV +150 (written at an angle to cover both OD and OS)

Does that mean I should get reading glasses at 1.5 strength?
I have no problems with my bifocals (love them in fact). I just need something that is only for near distance work. I tried progressive lenses before I got my bifocals and HATED them (the fact that everything is blurry on the edges drives me nuts). I won't use them again. I will talk to my optician about getting a pair of glasses just with a near vision prescription.

The reason why you are having difficulty finding reading glasses at the store is because you have astigmatism. The cylinder number that appears in your prescription indicates you have astigmatism. The readers you buy in the store are made only for spherical prescriptions.

Also the add power (where it says NV) on your prescription is "+1.50" then that would NOT be your actual reading glasses prescription.
This number is used to calculate your lens power for the reading correction required in your lenses.... it is not actually your reading prescription unless you require no further correction.
Another thing I noticed is that you have a difference in prescriptions between the two eyes... all of these factors will all make it impossible to find cheap readers that will work for you.

If your add power is (where it says "NV" or near vision) +1.50 then your reading prescription would be
OD -1.00 -0.75x011
OS +0.50-1.25x125
This is why you cannot buy any reading glasses that will work.

If you are currently wearing bifocals this is only providing you with near vision (reading) and distance vision (driving).
You may benefit from a multifocal lens that provides correction for your intermediate range of vision... intermediate distance can be used for viewing computers and dashboards for example.
Bifocals do not include the intermediate range of vision that you need for viewing computers.

The best thing for you would be a special pair of computer glasses correcting for the intermediate distance of viewing.... (near is actually only for reading distances...intermediate is computer/dashboard distance. This prescription can be calculated based on the distance between your eyes and computer screen.

A progressive lens provides distance vision in the top of the lens and as you look down it progressively changes to intermediate then into reading vision. The key to avoiding the distortion in the sides of the lenses is to not move your eyes when looking at things from side to side.... just move your head!

To become sucessful at wearing progressive/multifocal lenses it really takes a persons motivation, determination and also training on how to use them properly. Many people have difficulty adjusting to them at first but soon as they learn how to use the lenses correctly then most people cannot live without them.
If you had problems with progressives in the past I would still recommend trying them again.... most opticals carry a non adapt policy so if they do not work for you then your lenses can be changed for free.
It is possible that either the progressive was not placed properly due to inaccurate measuring or inaccurate lens cutting or it wasn't the right type of progressive or even you were not using the lenses correctly.... sometimes it can take weeks to get used to them.
Progressives are great because you will be able to wear your glasses for all tasks because they provide correction for all distances. Check out the links for more info!
Anyways I think it would be best to discuss this with your local eye care professional about what options would be best suited for you :)
Good luck :)

Turn your view to a downward 90 degree angle, eliminating the need for head movement
Allows you to read in bed or watch TV while lying flat on your back
The perfect solution for those with limited mobility

This has been bothering me for about 6 months but I went to get a second opinion on my old glasses he said something like the angles were wrong on the old pair so he gave me a new pair of them and said my eyes would adjust to them about 3 months later i tried on my old glasses whilst reading a book an found i could see better with them what could this be

if u c better with ur old 1s then use ur old 1s

short wavelengths of visible light interact more frequently with the atoms in glass than do longer wavelengths. which do you suppose takes the longer time to get through glass red light or blue light?

suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. which pair would you expect to be warmer, why?

an ideal polarizing filter transmit 50% of the incident nonpolarized light. why is this so?

what percentage of light would be transmitted by two ideal polarizing filters, one atop the other, with their axes aligned? with their axes crossed at right angles?

blue light

pair of sunglasses because it absorbs more of the light

because the molecules of plastic are stretched in one direction and only allow waves of light vibrating in that direction through

with their axes aligned = 50%
with their axes crossed at right angles = 0%

Hello,

I am short-sighted and have to wear glasses to be able to see clearly. I can't even read my computer screen if I don't wear them. Lately, however, it's been snowing rather heavily over here, and my glasses contantly fog up or become wet when I walk outside. This makes my visibility very, very poor.

I tried wearing a cap and hoods, but sometimes the snow falls at an angle and still finds my glasses. I can't walk while looking down either, because I often have to look at building numbers and stuff. Is there anyway to make my glasses waterproof, or at least prevent the snow from hitting it? I can't wear contact lenses...

Thanks.

Well...there's some stuff to clean your glasses and it's suppose to be like..anti-fog....but maybe wear a hood with the fur so that the snow gets stuck in the fur? lol I don't even know what I've been doing all these years. I'm 21 and have been wearing glasses since I was like..3 lol
