How do I pick the best eyeglasses and sunglasses?
A checklist for buying new eyeglasses
Eyeglasses for near vision and far vision, progressive lenses, sunglasses, reading glasses or glasses for home: Where do I start? What do I need to know?
1. Find a local eyecare professional and book an appointment.
Good eye care goes a long way. Regular eye exams are important to ensure your eyes stay healthy.
2. Find eyeglasses that go perfectly with your facial features.
Frames must fit your face shape, as well as being resistant and suitable to your prescription lenses. As an expert, your eye care professional will always give you the best advice.
3. Choose the right eyeglass lenses for you
In accordance with your lifestyle
Whether you are in the office, at home or enjoying the great outdoors, there is a pair of lenses to fit every aspect of your life.
How many pairs should I get ?
That depends on your vision needs, your budget – and even your fashion sense. Most people get prescription eyeglasses to correct their vision, but other speciality eyewear includes: glasses to reduce eye strain when doing near vision activities, polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and block ultraviolet rays, readers to help you see up close, and TransitionsⓇ lenses if you are looking for the most responsive lenses that can automatically adapt to changing light conditions.
Don’t compromise on UV and blue light¹ filtering!
Sunglasses do not just provide stylish protection to reduce glare – they also protect our eyes from UV rays and filter blue light¹. See how form and function come together when your Nikon corrective lenses are fitted onto your favourite pair of shades.
As work from home practices become more common, we tend to spend more and more time indoors exposed to blue light¹ coming from the sun through windows but also artificial lighting and digital devices. Filter blue light¹ before it reaches your eyes – learn how Pure Blue UV™ is designed to provide optimal UV protection and filtering of blue light¹.
For adequate lens durability, lens enhancements such as anti-reflective coatings, hard coatings, easy-to-clean coatings and anti-scratch coatings are also important options to consider.
