quote perpy:

I didn't know that about the anti-scratch Raggy . . . but the anti reflection is well worth the few pounds it costs, under a tenner I think I paid . . . makes a heck of a difference as well, especially with the time we all spend at a PC screen nowadays.

reply:
from what ive read it costs about £30 per pair but this is prior to fitting them in the frames.
glasses cost £65 bogof coating £60 ???

quote red:

Hi Raggy, Not sure if this will help but.. I had a similar problem with reflections I also experienced some blurring at the edge of my periphery. My lenses were quite curved in design and they were also made thinner at my request. This combination worked fine with my old prescription. However with the new, more powerful prescription the thinned lens material struggled to cope and refracted some of the light. The problem was resolved by reverting to the standard thickness lens.

Hope it's solved quickly, I know what a pain it can be.

hi red and thanks.
these glasses size wise are probably as big as they get certainly there biggest.
www.specsavers.co.uk/glasses/timeless/anton/
i got these as when i read or look at the laptop screen (not needed for tv) i prefer to see as little amount of frame as possible.
i dont really need them for the laptop but it does reduce eye strain which im told could make them worse.
the prescription is near only and is +2.5 left and +2.0 right so there not really strong, my distance was described as exceptional so no worries there.
the fact that the lens is big could mean as you say it is very thin so this could be the problem.


quote blakey:

It's nothing to do with you e-cig, Stay off them adult sites raggy, when your specs steam up - all the dust in the air will stick to them

reply:

could be right blakey i will keep an eye on that (GET IT, KEEP AN EYE ON THAT) (never mind) , makes me laugh sometimes i read some threads here and i think if someone was reading over my shoulder they would think what is this forum really ALLabout a it could be really misinterpreted

thanks for the replies peeps, i will LOOK into all the suggestions ( oopps there i go again)

Tbh Raggy, I don't think you've been particularly well advised . . . as you don't really need specs for distance, a varifocal lens would have been a better option, as you'll accustom your eyes to looking through a PX needlessly and give yourself a distance PX over time.

They could start with a Plano, then graduate down to your reading PX, with an intermediate PX which would be useful for you when using the computer . . . my PX is about the same as yours,and that works excellently for me.

Half eyes would have been another choice, but there are limitations with them if you want to use the computer.

Just dug out my last spec bill ( this year ) and I paid £8.93 ( weird price ) for the anti-reflection coating.

Guys, I have no affiliation with them other than I have used their services, but if you want a cheap second pair of glasses, I can thoroughly recommend www.selectspecs.com/?gclid=CNr-2dyRmK0CFZMhtAodWC3Vug their VERY GOOD prices include coatings including anti reflective.

thanks perpy,
i will just have to see what they say.
over the past six years they gone from +1 to +2.5 the girl said it will maybe get worse for another 4 years then stop.
thay have never mentioned anything but glasses for just reading till this time where she said try a weaker - .75 from total for the laptop.

thanks disco for the link it maybe of some use in the future.

Perpys advice seems completely sound & logical to me Raggy.

There's no reason why you'd share my previous issues with your prescription and flattish lenses.

Perhaps your glasses are so big that your'e experiencing a wing mirror effect

And if you don't already use it. I'd highly recommend some anti-static spray.

couldnt be some kind of factory film on them could it ?

i was also thinking that, other than the anti scratch coat i dont know.
ive looked around the web but didnt find anything.
im not that happy with the laptop ones as they also pick up a reflection.
if im looking straight at the tv there is a window forward of where im sat and to my right (so no part is behind me) yet i still see a slight reflection of the window, the further i move the glasses forward on my nose the bigger the window reflection becomes.
all this may be just one of those issues you get with wearing glasses i suppose.
i tried 2 older pairs and it does do the same but it is very very feint, whereas with these new ones it very aggravating, so much so ive got them on a neck thingy and there on and off like crazy.
its driving me up the wall and then the smears just to top it off.

raggy............

Bet ya went to specsavers ....I have used them once and that was the last time ,messed up big time on my varifocals.

whoops added this before I read all of the thread see i was right

[Perpetua]

Problem with either just a reading/intermediate PX Raggy, is that you'll have to take your specs off ( in theory ) when you look at say the TV or walk around . . . with Varifocals, you can just leave them on all the time.

Red's anti-static spray is a good one, plus a lint free cloth . . . every so often I leave mine to soak in soapy water for a deep clean.

It's kitchen towels plastic lens don't like, far too abrasive.

I have frameless polycarbonate lenses because they're lightweight - expensive too, which is partly why I'm years overdue for a new pair. Ecigs come before my eyesight! Anyway, they pick up dirt and grease (probably hand cream) just being looked at, but not ecig vapour.

The online lens suppliers that receive constant kudos at MoneySavingExpert is ciliaryblue.com/.

Hope you get sorted fast, Raggy.

thanks for all the replies.
today im using a prescription pair i bought from tesco about a year back.
this is now my relegated bath reading pair.
1st impressions are i can still see these 2, 1 in each lens small light spots that get bigger if you move them down the nose and turn into windows.
it is not as noticeable as the new pair, in fact you sort of have to look for it, which i suppose is part of the problem, im looking at the light spots rather than looking at what ever i should be looking at.
this pair has a plastic cheap lens i believe and unlike the new pair i cant watch the tv at all but there the same prescription.
