Do your eyes ever feel more tired than you do at the end of the day? Do you feel yourself taking your glasses off during the day to rub your eyes? Want relief? Well now you can! There are two new lenses on the market that we sell at our office. One is called Shamir Relax and the other is the Hoya Sync.
The Shamir relax is like having an extra shot of espresso in your coffee. You will feel energized all day. This lens helps ease the strain that is normally associated with prolonged accommodation. If you spend a lot of your day on the computer or using any of the new tech items like your smart phone or tablet, this lens will the muscles in your eyes more comfortable while they are consistently working. Sounds refreshing huh?
The Sync lens offers the same qualities as the relax lens but gives you a higher add towards the bottom of a lens. A +0.88 versus the relax +0.65. Even though the relax has a smaller increase of power at the bottom, it still works wonders!
I have found that these types of lenses work better for those who have a higher Rx. If you have a small Rx it will work, but the higher the script, the more the add power will work!
I love my relax lenses. It feels better than even wearing my contacts! Yep, I said it! i finally found what I have been looking for in a great pair of glasses!
