For people with high myopia, wearing thick lenses can easily add pressure to the bridge of the nose, and the heavy weight is also inconvenient. Therefore, choosing a comfortable and suitable eyeglass frame is particularly important. Today, we are going to explain what kind of eyewear frames are suitable for people with high myopia when wearing glasses.
Lightweight Material
The weight of the frame material is one of the factors affecting the overall weight of the glasses, which is closely related to the frame material. So the selected material must be lightweight. For people with high myopia, when choosing frames, you can pay more attention to materials such as pure titanium, tungsten carbon, thin-sheet acetate, and TR90. Frames made of these materials are generally lightweight, offering high wearing comfort, excellent durability, and resistance to deformation.
Geometric Center Distance Close to Pupillary Distance for Lens Fitting
The thickness of myopic lenses is mainly manifested in the horizontal direction of the frame glasses. Since the geometric center distance of most frames is larger than the human eye’s pupillary distance, in many cases, the temporal edge of the lens is significantly thicker than the nasal edge, and the temporal edge of the lens is exactly the part easily observed by others. Therefore, choosing a frame whose geometric center distance is close to the pupillary distance for lens fitting can make the thickness of the nasal and temporal edges of the lens similar, effectively reducing the thickness of the temporal edge of the lens and improving the appearance.
Non-metallic Materials Preferred
Large frames tend to highlight the thickness of high-myopia lenses, and they are heavier overall. If you want to avoid the peripheral part of the lens looking thick and reduce the weight, try to choose non-metallic frames, such as wide-leg acetate frames. The peripheral part of the lens can be covered by the frame legs, making it not easy to show the thickness.
Full-rim Frames Are a Better Choice
Due to the generally thick lenses for high myopia, rimless and semi-rimless frames will fully expose the thickness of the lenses. In addition, such frames are prone to deformation, which will lead to changes in the center distance of the glasses and the axial direction of the lenses, affecting the correction effect. Therefore, full-rim frames are the preferred option for people with high myopia.
Finally, we want to say that people with high myopia need to consider various factors when wearing glasses because of their high degree of myopia. You should not only choose lenses carefully but also pay attention to the frames. Do not ignore suitability and practicality just for the sake of aesthetics.
