NXT Unbreakable Sun Lenses
by: Benjamin W J Teo
Before the creation of NXT, optical lenses such as sunglasses were not impact resistance. And could cause serious injury to your eyes if the lenses were to crack or shatter.
Now with a breakthrough in technology, there is a universal solution for the optical market. NXT is made of soft, flexialbe and comes with a shatterproof guarantee. It protects the eyes from impacts, cuts, scratches, chemical and atmospheric agents.
?NXT is the greatest innovation in the past 40 years in the field of unbreakable transparent optical polymers.?
What is NXT made of?
The patented NXT technology was originally developed by Simula Technologies in the early 1990?s
but only for military use. The military need a material that was: transparent, lightweight and bullet proof and more superior than Polycarbonate.
In 1996 Simula Technologies partnered further develop this material and called it
NXT. This technology was specifically aimed at optical uses.
Today NXT is a proven new material with its own brand, and has become the new reference for unbreakable and transparent plastic sun lenses:
Charactistics of NXT
- Transparent and clear
- Unbreakable
- Lightweight
- Optically superior
- Easily worked without cracking
- Stable over time
- Solvent resistant
- Reliable
Some Advantages
NXT can be thermoformed, dye cut, pressure fastened, punched, riveted, slung grooved; all this without causing the material to be brittle.
The traditionally materials used for sunglass lenses all incurred similar problems called ?Stress Cracking.? It is caused when screws were inserted into the lens. Stress cracking can be insidious because cracks can appear after the production has ended which leads to defected products.
NXT is the first and only optical polymer available in two formats regular and soft; and is the first sun lens that can be folded without breakage or cracking.
The second variation of NXT is called NXTSoft which is obtained through a chemical modification of the original formula.
Lenses made of NXTSoft can be found on our website http://www.beauvision.com.au and is exclusive to our brand range of sunglasses and optical lenses.
NXTSoft has made it possible for rimless sunglasses to be worn during various physical activities without the risk of scratching or hurting the face in case of accidental collision thus making it one of the safest sun lenses in the world.

FDA Approves Lasik Eye Surgery
FDA Approves Lasik Eye Surgery
by: Ron King
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new custom lasik procedure in September of 2005. This new procedure can now treat many patients who were previously ineligible for the surgery.
Nearsightedness
Nearsightedness occurs when the eye is too long and light rays focus in front of the retina, instead of focusing on the retina. Some of the symptoms of nearsightedness are blurred distant vision, eyestrain, and squinting, along with having a difficult time seeing at night.
Although nearsightedness can be easily fixed with glasses or contact lenses (when not too severe), many people don't like to hassle with either one. With this new lasik procedure, folks will now be able to have pure vision.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is the effect of the eye being shaped like a football, instead of round like a baseball. This deformity -- where the light rays focus on two points on the...

Bifocal Contact Lenses ? What Are They
Bifocal Contact Lenses ? What Are They
by: Martin Smith
For year?s people who had both nearsightedness and farsightedness had to suffer with eyeglasses that had thick lenses with a line across them. Not only were the glasses heavy but the frames for glasses in general were to say the least, unattractive. The other problem with the bifocal lenses was adjusting to them. You either have to look up or look down especially going downstairs. People often experience dizziness while adapting to the bifocal lenses.
For years people who needed bifocal lenses had only one choice, eyeglasses. Even when contact lenses came on the market, bifocals still could only be had in eyeglasses. That was then and this is now. Now contact lenses offer as many choices if not more choices than for those who wear eyeglasses. Now to the joy of many, there are bifocal contact lenses available. Bifocal contact lenses are available in soft, rigid, gas permeable materials.

Wearing Contact Lenses
by: Jeff Lakie
If you've never worn contact lenses, you may not appreciate the amazing selection available on today's market. Be glad: you have much more choice than in the past. With so many options, how do you choose the right type of contact lenses?
Your doctor can probably help you figure out which contact lenses are best for you. Some contact lenses are suited to certain vision problems, like astigmatism. Others, like extended-wear contact lenses, are marketed to suit certain lifestyles. Colored contact lenses sometimes are used by people who don't even need prescription lenses but just want to change their eye color. Regardless, contact lenses should only be purchased by a professional eyecare practitioner, who knows how to properly fit the lenses and help you take care of your eyes. In fact, in the United States, it is illegal to purchase contact lenses without a valid prescription.
It's good to be informed...

Soft contact lenses are unquestionably the most commonly prescribed contact lens available.
Made of soft, flexible plastic, it is estimated that about 87% of contact lens wearers in the U.S. wear soft lenses.
Brief History
In 1971, Bausch & Lomb introduced the first commercially available soft contact lens.
For years, this conventional soft daily wear lens was the only type of soft contact lens available.
This lens ideally was meant to last between 6 and 12 months and required daily cleaning and weekly enzymatic treatment.
In 1981 the FDA approved the first contact lenses approved for extended or overnight wear.
It wasn?t until 1991 that the first frequent-replacement contact lenses were sold.
Frequent-replacement contacts are typically replaced every 1 to 3 months.
The next year, 1992, disposable contacts (disposed...
