User:Zenith Labs Vision 20 Review1
With the use of contact lenses or glasses, many Zenith Labs Vision 20 patients cannot always take part in some activities that are potentially dangerous for the wearer. With help from the LASIK procedure, patients are free to participate in activities that they could previously not get involved in. Corrective surgery improves your personal and professional life.I'm rough on my glasses. Every pair of prescription glasses or sunglasses I've ever owned takes a pounding worse than Travis Barker's snare drum! Of course, the cheaper frames I've ever bought caught the brunt of it, and they never came out alive.
You know the scenario. You take your glasses off and toss them onto your coffee table or dresser. You drop your glasses and step on them. You crush them while they're in your pocket. You may even feed them to your lawn mower in extreme cases. Either way, your eyeglasses are served with any manner of disrespect your mind can conjure.The only eyeglasses that have withstood this abuse are the ones I've owned that had flexible hinges. With flexible (or flex) hinges on your eyeglasses, the arms can extend beyond the perpendicular angle of your frames. What does this mean? It means that instead of breaking at the hinge when stretched beyond capacity, the hinge on your eyeglasses will flex to compensate for the aberrant pressure.
As the optical industry matures, flex hinges are becoming the standard rather than the exception. More and more manufacturers realize that there is a market for people who are 'less than delicate' with their eyeglasses. Customers also understand that rough handling reduces the life of their glasses (no surprise), but it's also abusive to their wallets. The smartest consumers realize that their trips to the optician are starting to become more frequent than trips to the gas station. Not good.
