Eye Doctors in Manhattan Reveal New Glasses Technology that means better vision for you

Certain optical physicians and other eye doctors in Manhattan are revealing incredible breakthrough technologies in glasses frames and lenses that promise better overall vision correction experience for all patients.

New York City, NY (prHWY.com) July 27, 2012 - Eye doctors in Manhattan have always been there to help us see the Big Apple clearly, but now some eye doctors in Manhattan NYC are revealing incredible new lens technologies that have their patients viewing the world better, brighter and in more focus.

Through the years eyeglasses have been used to correct vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia by working to focus light more properly on the retina of the eye. Various different vision problems necessitate different eyeglass lens shapes. However, not everyone has just one sight issue. That necessitates bifocals or trifocals. And, while that worked for most, it certainly was not the easiest to get accustomed to. Nor was it the most convenient option. Enter multifocal or progressive lenses.

Multifocal lenses are generally prescribed for east side NY eyeglasses by eye doctors in Manhattan in order to treat patients with presbyopia. While bifocals and trifocals are both considered multifocal lenses, advanced in east side NY eyeglasses have allowed eye doctors in Manhattan NYC to prescribe an entirely new type of progressive lenses.

Progressive lenses are those that have a continuous gradient lens that focuses "progressively" closer as the wearer looks down through the lens. Thus, far vision gives way to "reading" vision. This sort of newer multifocal lens is much more convenient and easier to use than the traditional bi or trifocal lens.

Another incredible breakthrough in East Side NY eyeglasses involves the type of lenses available today. Where once all lenses were made of glass, today, most are made of plastic. Plastic lenses have several advantages - they are lighter, can be treated with an ultraviolet filter and are generally more durable than glass lenses. And, according to Dr. Irina Shiyan, an eye doctor in Manhattan, given recent advances in plastics technology, they are now thinner and lighter than every before.

Polycarbonate lenses are very impact resistant, which makes them a popular choice for athletes and the parents of children who are concerned with glasses being dropped, broken or scratched up.

Photochromatic tinted lenses can be made from either glass or plastic, but, either material offer the same benefit - a transition from clear to tinted when exposed to sunlight.

But, according to Dr. Irina Shiyan , the biggest, or at least the most popular, breakthrough technology has been in the advancement of high-index plastic lenses. These lenses are designed for people who require extremely strong prescriptions, but are considerably lighter and thinner than the previously require lenses.
