I paid recently an extra $150 to have non glare lenses, and they have no color in them (look pic below) is like having an extra clear layer of the glass within your glasses, but you never see colors in the lenses (like blue) when the light hits it, it always stays clear. Itâs another thick part on sides of the lenses to deflect the light. itâs a lifesaver when I drive at night in Highways. I never heard of matte lenses before, but maybe in India (where vivi is from) they call them like that?
Are non glare lenses worth it?
Without bothersome reflections, more light is able to pass through your lenses which optimizes your vision. Fewer distractions are visible (especially in the dark), and the lenses are hardly noticeable. Most people agree that anti-reflective coatings on their glasses are definitely worth the added cost .
This is good to know because I have night blindness and astigmatism. I can barely see curves and street signs driving at night. (I donât do it very often thank goodness.) Iâll have to consider the no-glare/non-reflective coating in the future.
I used to have those⊠i didnât really feel a difference after changing them, though I know that my eyes were clearly seen in pictures. I opted for less expensive glasses this time⊠i think it just has a UV-resistant coating and blue light filter(computer glasses) rn. The reflecting doesnât really bother me in everyday situations, though.
Donât get the transitional glasses if you drive at night bc you wonât be able to see at night while driving. My daughter has transitional, and when driving at night has to change to her regular prescription glasses bc she canât see with the transitional ones. Get glasses before you get into an accident if you have an emergency and must drive at night. Donât take chances like that.
I just have regular prescription glasses right now. I need to wear glasses the moment I wake up until bedtime. Everything is blurry if I donât wear them. The worst is I canât recognize peopleâs faces without my glasses. At night, if and whenever I have to drive I can still see ahead but not very far. Itâs enough for me to survive.
I usually get new prescriptions every year because my vision changes a lot. I need to get the blue light blocking coating next time. I wonder if they actually make a difference.
Probably not theyâve got prescription wearers hog tied, whatever they say, we do! Comeâon! As long as glasses have been prescribed, and no break through! Besides surgery that is, and even that has itâs drawbacks, outside of the surgery itself. . . Iâll digress!
Whoah! Did I just added to this off topic?
Or
@midknightmoodz,
Thanks for the hiding reminder, Iâll do mines too!
I know right? I have no other option besides surgery (which as you mentioned might not even work for all of us.)
T_T Iâve been wearing glasses since I was 10. I probably needed them since birth because I have no memories of EVER being able to see the chalkboard clearly in school. I remember squinting so much I got dizzy.
I had these transition glasses a few years ago and ended up disliking them. Itâs a great idea but when you come inside from being out in the sun, they take at least 15 minutes to lighten back up. Itâs more fiddly, but I much prefer having dedicated prescription sunglasses and switching between the two.
Well, the thing that bothers me and donât like about k-dramas lately that they are going back to writing old stories from back in the days (memory loss, rich guy poor girl grrrrrrrâŠabusive in laws). Instead of progressing and modernizing dramas we are going back in time, and itâs so boringgggggggggggggggâŠWho wants to see same o same O?
The worse thing they are doing now that instead of hiring younger actors/actress to play STUDENTS, we have an actor/actress in their 30âs playing teenagers not even a College student but a teenager. I started this Chinese drama about a high school girl who was bullied blah, blah, blah. I recognize the F/L in another drama and I know sheâs in her thirties, so I go and check, and we have it there: a 30 yr. old playing a teenager! what need is there? Is not like she could pull it off because her true age shows. I dropped it so fast because our youth needs to have jobs, and no person in their 30 should be playing a teenager no matter how good and young THEY think they look.
What i dont like about K-dramas is Hand Grabbing/ Unhealthy Jealousy and Stupid FLs. Also how much make-up they put on their face for god sake. I dont like how it is making us more beauty-centred rather than content centered. Also why do they KILL The parents in almost every series. Being Orphan, Being Bullied, ffttttâŠ
The wrist grabbing is fine to a certain extent, unless theyre being forceful and pigheaded. I understand its because they cant hold the hand so they go for the wrist or elbow.
Killing off parents⊠its easier to write a story with parents out of the way. Even when I write stuff, i always have a hard time with parents getting in the way. You have to move around circumstances to make it feel real. Also, parent accidents are one of the easiest âdeep background storiesâ a writer can come up with. Since parents can influence a child most, it becomes an easy route to explain away any sort of trauma and unique character trait of the character.
When thereâs a kissing scene and the actors just touch lips, it may not seem like a lot but it takes the realism out of the show imo. Also whenever their actions are over exaggerated.
When adult females talk like babies and pout. Iâll actually stop watching the show. Yuk. Also when they have a haircut that belongs on a five year old.
For me, I stop watching when the writers are sooooo lazy that they just took a basic template and try to build the drama on it, without any thinking. Like the âgood oldâ romance template:
16 episode
rich guy, poor woman
1st ep. funny
2-3 one of them in love, other hate
4-7 other part start to slowly fall in love
8 ep first âkissâ what take several second without moving
9th ep. everything is happy
10th ep. ex, or arranged fiance appear, or risk of death or memory loss
11th ep. break up
12-14 suffering
15 things get solved (?) BUT last minute separate
16 time skip, in the last 5 min they meet again.
There are templates like this for most of the genre.If i meet with a lazy writing like this⊠the actors/drama/acting has to be more then good, to not turn it off.
You captured the basic template really well! But I actually think16 episodes is the perfect length for a drama. Not too short, not too long. I hate dramas that are super long or having more than 1 season and dragging on.
After watching a couple of shows recently, one thing I really hate are the spongers. I assume it should be a comedic element but honestly, it drives me nuts. The whole, âJust give me x amount of won, we are familyâ âOh hey, this guy/girl will payâ - this mainly hit home after just having finished Casting A Spell To You and the lead actressâs brother being one of the worst examples ever of someone always wanting someone else to pay. It really grinds my gears.
Having almost finished King of Ambition (odd title considering the original is Queen of Ambition which is what the show is actually about!) I am just about at the end of my tether with ridiculous coincidences /contrivances to ensure the bad guy stays one step ahead. That show is bordering on absurdity with how it manipulates every scenario. It is driving me nuts!
theyâve got prescription wearers hog tied, whatever they say, we do! Comeâon! As long as glasses have been prescribed, and no break through! Besides surgery that is, and even that has itâs drawbacks, outside of the surgery itself. . .
