With the development of society, Internet information is becoming more and more popular, and we can learn more knowledge through the Internet. It is also because there are more and more electronic devices now, people nowadays tend to ignore eye health and develop many bad eye habits. The appearance of myopia has long been used to it, and it is nothing new.
Moreover, the nearsighted population in China is increasing every year, covering more and more people. It has become the first choice for ordinary people to solve vision problems through glasses. When choosing glasses, you need to pay attention to several aspects. Here I briefly provide some reference:
One: Know your eyes.
This is very important. First of all, you have to know the cause of your myopia, whether it is myopia caused by bad eye habits, eye diseases or the possibility of pseudomyopia.
Before you know the cause of your myopia, I suggest you go to the ophthalmology department of a 3A hospital in Nanjing for the first time. Only the hospital can give you an all-round examination of your eyes to rule out the possibility of eye diseases and pseudomyopia, which is impossible for ordinary optical shops. Optical shops can only provide optometry and optical services.
Especially for teenagers, the probability of pseudomyopia is very high. The most prominent performance is the loss of hyperopia and normal myopia, which may be due to poor eye habits or lack of vitamins (vitamins A, E, B 1, etc. ). This can be recovered through timely medical treatment. However, in reality, many children are pseudomyopia, but their parents directly take them to the optical shop for glasses, which leads to the continuous development of their condition and eventually becomes irreversible true myopia.
Two: choose the brand of glasses.
Glasses consist of lenses and frames. It is very important to know the brand of lenses and frames, so that there will be a psychological scale and it is not easy to be cheated by merchants. First of all, the choice of frame is very simple. Comfort is very important. It's easy to put them behind your ears and on the bridge of your nose. Secondly, choose a style that suits your appreciation. Many young people only look at appearance and ignore comfort. Secondly, they choose optical brand frames, which are guaranteed in quality and after-sales service.
There are many factories producing spectacle frames in China, and the technology is very mature. Most brands of spectacle frames are made in China, so there is still a sense of existence on spectacle frames. If your budget range is not high, you can choose EFE, SOOGREE, KENA, etc. At100-300; Helen Keller, Levi's, Chamonix, etc. can be selected for the price of 300-500. 500- 1000 has a wider choice, such as Paramount, Seiko, Ray-Ban, Tyrannosaurus and so on.
I think the choice of lens brand is a key one, because the domestic research on optics started late, so the optical technology of domestic lenses is slightly inferior to that of imported lenses, but I believe that domestic lenses will definitely surpass imports in the near future. So today, I mainly talk about the brand of imported lenses, which is recognized as the world's first lens brand, "Carl Zeiss".
I believe everyone has heard of this brand with a history of 100 years in Germany, and it is the originator of glasses manufacturers. Ernst Abbe, the founder of Abbe number, is one of the founders of Zeiss, so the requirements for Abbe number are stricter, and Zeiss lens has not let the public down.
At the same degree and refractive index, the Abbe number of Zeiss lens is definitely higher than any other brand, and the visual effect is clearer. Of course, this is just one of its advantages. Each series has very professional and different coating processes, so I won't explain them here. If the budget allows, I definitely recommend Zeiss lens.
Ranked second in the world, Japan's TAG Heuer lenses and Japanese craftsmanship have to be praised. Although the technical level of TAG Heuer lenses is not as good as that of Zeiss, the quality control is very strict, which is a well-known advantage of the whole lens industry. As long as you buy genuine TAG Heuer lenses, you don't have to entangle the origin.
France's Essilor lens, a century-old lens from France, also occupies a very important share in the market. Together with Zeiss and TAG Heuer, it is known as the three largest lens manufacturers in the world. He also has the nickname M&A Crazy, and has bought many famous glasses brands. As a popular lens, although it is slightly weak in technology and quality, it leads domestic sales by virtue of its price advantage.
Then finally talk about the domestic lens brand. Komi, Yue Ming and Wanxin are the three most famous lens brands in China. They are well-known and have won a large audience with stable quality and affordable prices. Those with lower budgets will definitely recommend these three lens brands. In any case, you shouldn't buy an unknown three-lens to save money.
Three: the choice of glasses position
With the development of Internet, the location of optical shops is not limited to traditional optical shops. There are opticians in the wholesale market, hospitals, network opticians and office opticians. It is also a good thing, because it gives us more choices and will not be slaughtered by optical shops as before, but at the same time, if we don't understand the advantages and disadvantages of optical shops, it is easy to be cheated.
Let's talk about the characteristics of traditional opticians. Convenient, fast and intuitive. You can touch the mirror frame, let the optometrist optometry face to face, and give suggestions on adjusting the mirror frame. Problems in the later stage are relatively guaranteed.
Glasses are not recommended in wholesale markets, because I dare say that 95% of people who wear glasses in such places think the price is cheap. Let's think about it carefully, will you really give a pair of glasses the wholesale price? The merchants inside are also very attentive to other people's dishes. You can know whether you are a customer or a business by your words and deeds. For a mixed wholesale market, don't suffer these petty advantages.
There is a saying that optometry is definitely more professional than any optical shop. At the beginning of the specific article, I also introduced the importance of hospital optometry, so I won't say much, but the hospital optician projects are generally outsourced to merchants, who pay a lot of rent to the hospital every year, so the price is relatively expensive and there is no discount, so optician is not recommended.
I don't recommend online glasses. Most people choose online glasses to save money. For example, if you search for the same Zeiss lens on the Internet, there will be a big gap in prices, some are one or two hundred, and some official prices are extremely low. You will find it difficult for non-professionals to tell the truth without official authorization. The price of an officially authorized online merchant will never be too low.
In fact, compared with physical stores, there is almost no difference. In addition, there is no face-to-face optometry by an optometrist, and the lenses of the frame can't see the real thing. It's still very troublesome to feel for yourself, which is why physical optical shops can't replace them online.
Glasses for office buildings are new styles introduced in recent years. It is different from the traditional optical shop, which saves most of the rent and labor costs, thus reducing the price of glasses. Other experiences are no different from traditional optical shops, but the disadvantage is that the location is relatively difficult to find. According to your own situation, choose a suitable optician's place. I hope the above analysis can help you with some reference suggestions for myopia.
Recommend several optical shops that have a good reputation in Nanjing and personally feel that they are quite good:
(Conscience recommendation is for reference only)
Thorn Bird Glasses: An optical shop recommended by a friend last year is also a model optical shop for office buildings mentioned in this article. Of course, it is also a national brand chain store, which accumulates popularity by word of mouth. In addition to the relatively low price of office money, it is also an official cooperative authorized store of Carl Zeiss. The market price of Zeiss lens is 50% off, and the basic A series lotus film is less than 400 after discount 1.56. Then, we choose a pair of ordinary brand frames, about 500, which is really cost-effective.
JINS glasses: The national chain optical shop opened in the shopping mall was my favorite in college, because JINS glasses belong to the fast fashion optical shop, and the frame style is more fashionable, so I was more concerned about fashion when I was a student. In addition, its family mainly sells 399-799 in the form of a set meal, which is not expensive, but the quality of lenses is average. If you want to pursue better quality, you can add money to buy TAG Heuer, and the basic money will be around 1000.
Wu Glasses: A traditional chain optical shop in China, and also an old-fashioned optical shop in Nanjing. Wu glasses are famous all over the country. I recommend Wu glasses because they won the hearts of Nanjing people more in Nanjing. Of course, we have done a good job in service, specialty, optometry, products and after-sales, and we can only be employed after professional training, but the price is far from cost-effective.
Doctor glasses: The largest glasses chain in Shenzhen is an optical shop from Shenzhen to the whole country, which has a good reputation in Nanjing. Its family mainly sells high-end glasses brands, and it is a powerful glasses retailer in China optical shops (pay attention to the prefix and suffix of brand names, and many fake doctor glasses). Because of this, the price is not cost-effective, and more is the pursuit of quality.
Puyi Glasses: High-end optical shops operating in Hong Kong and the Mainland. Users who pursue high quality absolutely know the reputation of Puyi Glasses. This optical shop, which gathers various international brands, mainly sells brands such as Montblanc, Bulgari and TAG Heuer. Similarly, many big stars can find the same models here. Needless to say, service and optometry, don't worry.
Because of the strict training and assessment, it is said that optometry equipment is the top in the industry, and the price is relatively expensive. At least tens of thousands of good-quality glasses are available.
The last two small suggestions:
1. Some bad optical shops will give you a name and say how professional their optometry is, such as Hong Kong-style 2 1 step optometry. Stay away from it when you see it, because there is no such thing as Hong Kong-style 2 1 step optometry. They adopt some names that worship foreign things and flatter foreigners, which will only make you feel that they are tall and good, and let the latter cheat you!
In these optical shops, optometrists basically don't have optometrist qualification certificates, that is, they train for a few days, and then their company issues certificates to employees, holding things similar to doctors and directors (however, doctors and directors in hospitals don't give you optometry at all, they just fool everyone into not understanding! ), these are not credible, so be sure to keep your eyes open.
2. Some optical shops publicize with great fanfare, and then avoid talking about the price of frames. You faltered when you asked, so I won't mention which store it is. Their routine is to attract the past at a low price and beat you to death on the frame (no optical shop is doing charity and unprofitable things, who will do it?
The more attracted by the low price of the lens, the frame will not be said. It must be that the merchant wants to make a lot of money on the frame. Remember, glasses are the whole of lens and frame. If you want to be cheap, the lens and the frame should be cheap. So when you choose an optical shop, you must see clearly whether the lenses and frames are cheap, rather than one that sounds cheap and one that sounds expensive!
