Which glasses do you need?
What each type of Eyedentity glasses does, in plain words.
Eyedentity Eyewear is our own Zimbabwean label. Our glasses help you look good and protect your eyes from the sun, screen light, wind and bright lights. Anyone can wear them, including people with perfect eyesight.
- Driving or sunny days: polarized sunglasses
- Moving between indoors and outdoors: photochromic glasses
- Hours on a phone or computer: anti-blue glasses
- Driving or walking at night: night vision glasses
- You need prescription lenses: optical frames
1. Polarized sunglasses
They cut the glare from bright sunlight and from shiny surfaces like roads, cars, water, glass and buildings. You see more clearly and your eyes get less tired. They also block 100% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Best for: driving, outdoor activities and sunny days.
2. Photochromic glasses
The lenses darken in bright sunlight and turn clear again in lower light, so one pair works indoors and outdoors. They block UVA and UVB rays and cut glare, which means less eye tiredness. If sunlight bothers your eyes or gives you headaches or migraines, they can help.
Best for: people who go between indoors and outdoors, or who are sensitive to bright light.
3. Anti-blue glasses (for phone and computer)
Phones, computers and ordinary lights give off blue light. These glasses block it before it reaches your eyes. That can help with headaches, eye strain, tiredness and poor sleep from too much screen time.
Best for: anyone who spends time on a phone or computer.
4. Night vision glasses
They help you see better in low light, for example when driving at night. They cut the glare from oncoming headlights and make things easier to see.
Best for: night drivers. Walkers and cyclists in low light can use them too.
5. Optical frames
These are frames made to hold prescription lenses. They correct short sight (myopia), long sight (hyperopia), astigmatism and presbyopia. They come with removable anti-blue lenses, so you can also wear them as anti-blue glasses.
Best for: people who need prescription lenses.
Prescription lenses
Frames are $15 to $30, lenses are $40 to $70 depending on your prescription, and fitting is $10. We do not do eye tests and we do not accept medical aid.
Review note for Muchie, removed before launch. I left out "zero side effects" and "reduces the risk of accidents" because they are health and safety promises that could be challenged. Tell me if you want them back.
