Medical optics

The difference is essential: in the optics store you will generally have a simplified measurement of diopters and you will receive glasses based only on this measurement, while in an ophthalmology clinic, which integrates medical optics, you will go through a complete evaluation of eye health as well as a thorough double measurement of diopters, with and without pupil dilation.
The ophthalmologist will then correlate all your data and give you a prescription for glasses. Often the diopters resulting from the measurements are adjusted by the doctor, depending on the clinical condition of your eyes, age and many other aspects.

Computer glasses can have any kind of lens, according to your prescription, to which is added a special treatment that protects the eyes from the blue light emitted by digital screens. This additional filter alleviates fatigue caused by prolonged exposure to a computer or phone screen.

Driving glasses can have any kind of lens, according to your prescription, to which is added a special treatment that protects the eyes from the strong reflections of the headlights at night and increases the contrast of the light from the sunset. All this considerably increases the comfort and visibility of driving in the evening and at night.

There are many people who find suitable frames after a long search because of the conformation of the head and the physiognomy.
If you are one of them, the ideal solution is 3D printed glasses from Yuniku. At Clario, in the medical optics showroom you will find a dedicated scanner that will scan your 3D physiognomy and place an order directly at Hoya. The glasses will be fully 3D printed for you and lenses will be added according to your prescription.
Patients who opt for 3D printed glasses are pleasantly surprised by the way they fit on the face and how easy it is to wear them.

Prescribing glasses is a meticulous procedure that requires special equipment and the experience of an ophthalmologist, to take into account the health of your eyes, during a consultation in the medical optics clinic. Even if you have a correct prescription for glasses given by the doctor, not only the diopters are important but also the interpupillary distance as well as other parameters or treatments of the lenses.
Ready-made glasses are very cheap because they are a great series product, without any customization, with the lowest optical quality lenses. They can be a solution in situations like when you are out of town and you have lost your glasses, for example, but by no means a medium and long-term solution.
The glasses must be ordered at the best quality you can afford and strictly according to your prescription. Even simple glasses, without special treatments but ordered in the clinic, are incomparably better for your eyes than those in the supermarket.
