FAQ

Prescription usually comes in a receipt or ophthalmological prescription. To get it you have to go to the eye doctor or optician. Also you can get through your old glasses, if recent. Normally you can obtain it in the last place you've made your last glasses.

Optic at Home works with major lens laboratories, offering a great quality of lenses. The material they are made of are called organic lens, the primary material from which the glasses are made in Europe. It is lighter and more resistant than mineral, offering the same optical quality.

Organic lenses are hardened with a treatment to prevent scratching easily. We recommend cleaning it with a soft cloth while still humid.

We also recommend putting an Anti-glare treatment to prevent glare from artificial lights and get a higher quality of vision and less eyestrain.

Reduced Lens are those that for a same prescription are thinner and relatively lighter.

 The reduction of a lens is determined by the Refraction Index “n”. A higher number of refraction index means more reduction, thus making it less thick.

 Depending on the prescription, Optic at Home recommends:

• For prescriptions of more than +-/ 2.00 Dp, Standard Lens n:1.5
• For prescriptions of +/- 2.00 a +/- 4.00 Dp, n:1.6
• For prescriptions of +/-4.00 a +/- 6.00 Dp, n:1.67
•  For prescriptions of +/-6.00 o superior, n: 1.74

Progressive lens are thought to compensate far distance prescriptions and even short distance, making them have an adaptation process that we must pass to learn how to look.

 In Optic at Home we work with high quality lenses that usually have a short adaptation process, although the adaptation process will depend on the person, the prescription, the frame.

Therefore we recommend:

• To Be patient. The adjustment period is usually between a few days to a few weeks, so it is normal that at first you are awkward with your new glasses.
• At first, in order to adapt yourself to the new lenses, you can do some "exercises" like sitting on the couch reading a magazine or book and then watch television, to toggle the view from near to far and learn where the fields are.
• When going up stairs do not look down sideways, look through the top of the lens, sticking your chin to your chest.
• With a desktop computer, try to position yourself slightly higher than the screen, to look through the intermediate vision zone.
• To read, look through the bottom part, as usual, looking for the near distance field. Try to keep your back more or less straight, you can not lie down or reclining.
• Look naturally, do not look sideways or laterally.

Be patient, it is very easy. For any questions please contact our optical team info@opticathome.com
