Q

What are the main hazard for racket sports glasses?

A

-Squash ball travels at high velocity- 140mph but up to 176mph
-Squash ball is approx. 40mm diameter
-Injuries due to racquet sports represent 47.5% of ocular trauma
that required hospital admission
- therefore need to make sure frames and lenses need to provide protection

A

being padded to help absorb any shock and help prevent bruising.
-Thick silicone molded cushion pads to protect the nose on
impact.

Q

What are the lenses of racquet sports glasses made of ?

A
  • Polycarbonate for impact resistance
  • Coated for anti-fog
  • Can be high base curve if curved- can change base curve of lens so they can fit in a certain frame

Q

What needs to be considered for shooting glasses ?

A
  • Eye dominance- whether they prefer one eye - occluded or not- ask what type of shooting they err doing.
  • Contrast
  • Lenses
  • Tints- colour? how dark?
  • Lenses can be tilted and centered according to the shooters position.
  • The non shooting eye can be occluded.

Q

What tints are good for shooting glasses ?

A

bronze tint- often used in clay pigeon shooting

  • yellow tint- good in shooting on black and white target- good contrast
  • red and pink tint- good for black and green targets- reduce effects of green background

Q

What can. the frames be like on shooting glasses ?

A

-Can be hung from a mount -Can include a pinhole- reduce aberrations and increase how well px are seeing.

17
Q

What does a darker tint mean ?

A

-less light is reaching the eye-
the pupil will expand more to let light in- this is less preferable for shooting because we want the pupil to be small as possible acting as pinhole itself.
1§-the px may prefer the lighter tent hence.

18
Q

What are the British requirements for skiing goggles?

A
  • UV requirements BS EN 12312 - protect against UV-
  • polarised glasses not good for this-as may not be able to see changes in contour
  • should have high Impact resistance
  • Tints, which colour and why? -Rx!
  • Polarizing
19
Q

Why do we require UV protection for skiing goggles (BS)?

A

-the snow itself is highly reflective and can cause photo keratitis and snow blindness - the British standards for skiing goggles- in extremely high luminance conditions such as snowfall or desert , which under full sunlight the use of category 4 filters may be recomended- LTF of 15% (darker tints)

20
Q

What are the frames of skiing goggles like ?

A
  • can be glazed- often have removable inset for glazing

- adjustable headband to help the glasses stay on when they are skiing

21
Q

What are the tints usually used on lenses on the skiing goggles?

A

grey tint- often used as It keeps very true to colours as it reduces visible light through all spectrums equally
-yellow or rose filters- filter out blue lights- preferred by px

22
Q

What are the lenses like on skiing goggles?

A
  • mirror coatings- provide extra protection from UV
  • transitions- some px like as they work well in cold environment
  • anti-fog
23
Q

How can swimming goggles be glazed?

A
  • by providing clip in lenses for the frame surrounding it
  • generally plano concave or convex- so that the curvature is all place on the back surface and isn’t influenced by the surrounding media
  • the lens maker equation -assumes in air- but r.i of water is different to air- by glazing the curves on the back surface that isn’t touching water-it is easier to glaze these lenses
24
Q

What do the clip in lenses come in ?

A

come in standard spherical prescriptions

  • may not work with px with high cyls
  • better to use a near match to px prescription than their exact prescription
  • spherical power -2 - 6 are available
25
Q

What are some things to consider as a diving mask ?

A
  • Pressure changes - when changing in water
  • Watertight fit
  • Frame
  • Can be full or half mask
  • Silicone seal- used in watertight seal
  • good seal- could be occluded or clear- which provide some peripheral Vision
  • dark seal- can reduce internal reflections
26
Q

What types of lenses to give to a diving mask ?

A
  • Tempered glass- as they dont react badly under pressure changes under water
  • Can have rx insert- glazed with rx
27
Q

What are some things to consider with cycling or running ?

A

Impact resistance

  • Smaller debris (dust, insects) -UV protection
  • Glare protection
  • FOV- lenses with a higher base curve- increases FOV - even though it isn’t perfect in periphery they will still know if anything come around .
  • Contrast enhancement (yellow tint can be popular)
28
Q

What are the frames like in cycling or running?

A
  • Require excellent fit
  • Lightweight
  • Detachable sides
  • interchangeable lenses
29
Q

What are the lenses like in cycling or running?

A

-Polycarbonate for impact resistance
-Wrapped- so consider base curve to increase FOV and off axis
performance
-Contrast enhancing tints
