Soldiers Running High Risk Of Losing Eyesight

Orpah Deborah Said:

It’s an observable fact that the sunglasses have become a necessity. Generally people us it to protect there eyes from the harmful UV rays, but now the uses has been increased as it is also been used for hiding ones identity, generally done by the celebrities. It is also been used by the motorcyclist to protect these eyes from the heavy wind, dust and flying insects while riding motorcycle. Fisher men use sunglasses to reduce the glare of the sun, and to see the fishes clearly within the water. Above all these user and uses there is one more segment of user and uses, and that is the Military, Law Enforcement Agent and Army Air Corps, for who eye protection is must. As they face such situation where there is so much of dust, ballistic material, etc. which may cause hindrance in there operation.

Here we will be talking about the eye protection of the US Military, Law Enforcement Agent and Army Air Corps. Do you know that the soldiers have the high number of risk of damaging their eyesight during the combat operations and training exercises. The studies done on the wounds in Iraq, which pointed out that the sixteen percent of casualties among soldiers, involve eye injuries. The most dangerous hazard to the eyes of the US Military & Law Enforcement Agent is the flying shrapnel from enemy weapon blasts, and other dangers to the eyes are sand, dust, debris (from helicopters, high winds, or explosive overpressure), flash fires, and lasers.

Coming to the Army Air Corps, they need protection from the dangers of high-altitude glare and this was solved by the company named Ray-Ban, who produced sunglasses especially for the Army and Navy. These Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses covered the eye socket, and had the dark lenses which were often reflective.

During the recent war with Iraq it was found through the media coverage that the US troops in the field, both marine and army use of Oakley sunglasses, goggles and boots.

Now there are more protective lenses in compare to the previous days. Troops will have interchangeable lenses for both goggles and spectacles. The new sunglasses are lightweight but made up of tough polycarbonate lenses. These eye wear meet the American National Standards Institute requirements for occupational eye and face protection. Now the eyes of our US Military, Law Enforcement Agent and Army Air Corps are more protected from the entire dangerous hazard.

Designer Sunglasses To Save Future Operations

Catherine Harvey Said:

There are several reasons why a person loses their sight. For those who have had traumas to the head there is obviously no way of preventing this knock on result. For many others, including those who lose their sight later in life due to age-related molecular degeneration, there is much that can be done to prevent this situation occurring.

The simple matter of wearing a pair of sunglasses is all that is required to save the sight of so many people. The damage is done in the younger years that leads to blindness later on and we would all do well to remember that. It is no good being complacent and thinking that there is nothing wrong with our eyes now and that there is no genetic optical faults in our family, this guarantees nothing.

Neither does it matter, for those shallow enough to think it does, whether or not we wear designer sunglasses. What is important is that we get the highest UV protection possible and wear them outdoors as much as possible but especially when the sun is at its strongest, such as mid day during the summer months.

For many people it is already too late to do anything about but help is at hand. In the field of optical surgery, two ground breaking techniques have been carried out. One involving a ‘bionic’ eye means the patient can differentiate between light, dark, shadows and shapes. This obviously isn’t perfect vision but it’s more than the patient had before and can make a great deal of difference to their quality of life.

An ultra thin electronic receiver and electrode panel are implanted into the eye and attached to the retina. The patient wears a pair of glasses that are fitted with a tiny camera and transmitter which sends a wireless signal to the receiver. These messages are then passed along the optic nerve to the brain and sight is partially restored.

This new technology comes from the US and they are still developing it in the hope that the camera will actually be able to be implanted within the eye itself. This truly will make it a bionic eye but if only the patient had worn designer sunglasses, any sunglasses, when they were younger the need for this surgery could be avoided.

For the hundreds of thousands of patients in the UK with a genetic inherited blindness, designer sunglasses would have made no difference. However, there is new gene therapy that is being perfected to restore sight for these people too. Medical trials began back in February to imbed genes into the eyes of people with genetic faults whose retinas are unable to detect light properly.

Scientists from the University College London are hopeful that this will lead to a cure for genetic blindness in the future. The sad fact about this particular eye disease is that it affects people so young. Leber’s congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an inherited condition and can lead to blindness before a sufferer leaves their teens. One such patient was only eighteen when he went blind and he has been over the moon with the results of his surgery saying that it has improved the quality of his life beyond a doubt and he is no longer restricted in what he can do.

For the rest of us who are fortunate enough to not have these problems, we should never take our eyesight for granted. If you need designer sunglasses to not feel a little odd in sunglasses then by all means get them. It is even possible to get designer sunglasses with a prescription so if you need glasses, you will appreciate even more how difficult it could be without your sight.

5 Things You Need to Know When Shopping for Prescription Eyeglasses

Aakash Shah Said:

There are millions of people who wear eyeglasses either due to a prescription or for sheer fashion. But for the people shopping for prescription eyeglasses fashion is within their reach. There are several designer brands that are catering to the needs of several prescription eyeglass wearers. For people who used to think that eyeglass wearers were basically thick black frames the notion is completely wrong. Today the showrooms have a wide range of designer eyewear. But with this wide range of options it is you who have to decide on color, shape and style that will suit the best on your face. Thus these are a few tips that you have to follow in order to shop for prescription eyeglasses.

1)      The first thing that you should check out before going for a pair of new eyeglasses is that the you should check the policies of the you have with the insurance company. The fact that how much the company will cover will have to be checked. The details of your plan should be well scrutinized in order to see what are the things covered under your policy and what are not covered.

2)      The first and the foremost thing is to get your eyes examined and then choose your new frame. There are various materials among which you can make your choice like titanium, aluminum, plastic and so on. Titanium frames are durable, light weighted and are expensive. The plastic frames on the other hand is also durable, light weighted but do not give a proper fit and are less expensive.

3)      Another aspect that has to be carefully examined by you is the choice of lenses. The general conception is that the smaller that the lens is the better it is. This is because the smaller the lens the lighter it is. Different materials have different consequences attached to them. The plastic frames are undoubtedly lighter but these frames require much care so that they do not get scratched. On the other hand if the lenses are made of glass they are much heavier but would be scractch resistant. But fortunately today there are a variety of options for you to choose from.

4)      You should always take someone close to you to a doctor’s chamber. Usually a doctor or an optician can help you choose a frame that is suitable for your face but someone close to you can choose a frame that will suit your personality.

5)      If the right type of frame is not available in your doctor’s chamber then make it a point to take the prescription and get your frame from another shop. This method is also convenient if you get your eyes checked up from a local doctor and get your frame from a bigger store.
