  • i've never heard of it being covered. sorry.

  • Spherical lens is much more rounded while aspherical lens is much flatter.As prescription increase, spherical lens has increasingly thicker edges While aspherical lens will reduce the thickness of the edges.

  • Dear friend, dilated pupil is a common phenomenon that every one of us may suffer in every day. If we want to see something clearly, our pupil will dilate. You can check your eyes to see how it happens in the mirror. But this will not do harm to our eyesight. As to glassy eyes, I think there are many reasons. I saw many older people with some disease will have glassy eyes. Maybe this was caused by aging or medicines. And if someone is too tired or suffering great depress at this moment, he or she may have glassy eyes too. I don't know how to relieve this. But I think you can consult you doctors after having an eye exam.

  • The progressive lens gives you the intermediate distance also that a bifocal can't do. The reading area of a bifocal is always going to be wider than in a progressive, and the distance porion of the lens is normally clear right to the outer edge of the lens.

    With the bifocal, if you are standing at a desk, you can't read a note on the desk without picking it up to bring it within the fixed focal distance of your reading segment. With the progressive, you can, because you have the intermediate power also to be able to focus at any distance.

    Most progressives will blur out at some point on the outer edges of the lens in the distance portion, however the brain gets used to that and it doesn't bother most people for long.

    Truck drivers have trouble with progressives because of that, with the side mirrors they have to glance at all the time on both sides.

    The reading area of the progressives is also narrower than with a regular bifocal, therefore you have to move your head more, not just your eyes to read across an open newspaper.

    If this is going to be your first time wearing either, then the progressive is the best way to start. Once you get used to it, it is more like normal vision because of that intermediate portion.

  • As a matter of fact, it is quite normal for us ordinary people to have dilated eyes from time to time. Because when we meet some special situations such as panic, surprise, or afraid etc. our eyes tend to be dilated. It is resulted from the muscles around the pupils. But it is just ok, and you can take it easy.

  • They can be coated but the coating may get off from your lenses because they can't totally attach to the old lenses as they do on the new lenses. It means that they will not work for you for a very long time. So you'd better consider about this.

  • Yes, borage oil is good for eyes. Borage oil contains amount of linolenate and gamma linolenic acid which are necessary delspray in our body. Gamma linolenic acid is especially good for eyes. What is more, it can moist our skin as well. So if you use borage oil to treat dry eye syndrome, it works. Borage oil is not only good for dry eye syndrome but also good for premenstrual syndrome, multiple sclerosi, menopause, heart disease, chronic eczema and premature aging skin. If you don't have those problems above, using borage oil can help you improve your skin and make your skin smooth. Borage oil can apply to all kinds of skin.

  • Yes, the coffee grounds can help you reduce the dark circles under the eyes. As we know, the dark circles under the eyes may be caused by the stay up late, not good sleep or the bad blood circulation. While the coffee grounds have the role of resistance to oxidation, increase the intestinal and stomach digestion and so on. Thus, once you get the well digestion which may directly cause your blood move in a fluent way. Then your vital energy and blood will work well. To some degree, the black sediment under the eye skin will be removed. The dark circles under the eyes will be reduced. However, there is another role of the coffee grounds. You could put them in the refrigerator which will help you remove the peculiar smell which you could have a try.

  • Yes, it actually works. Firstly, you need to know the reason why we have dark circles. Getting a bad sleep, drinking too many fluids before bedtime, exposing to intensive sun for a long period and rubbing your eyes frequently, both of them can lead to bags under your eyes, so do a nasal congestion. Bad sleep, pigmentation irregularities and sun exposure seem as the chief culprit. Then go back to your question, your tiny vessel under skin around your eyes expand due to deficiency of sleep. And the blood circulation is hambered, the blood is blocked there. So it appears dark circles. Using a soft cloth to wrap an ice cube or cool tea bags(put in the freezer for half an hour) to your eyes or just on your forehead for 10-15 minutes can lead to a vasoconstriction and relive the blood circulation. By the way, the effects of cosmetic and dark sunglasses can not be neglected.

  • You should better stop using the eyeliner which may contain the stimulating irritated that cause your eyes to water. Your eyes may get infection. You need to use the eye drops with anti-inflammation to make the eyes get bright and clear. You could also take the home remedy like warm compress into consideration. You need to protect the eyes carefully.
