Although the fate of the editor and glasses is not very deep, but in the use of (kuang) eyes (shua) (shou) degree (ji), still feel wearing glasses world can be clear.
Many people have asked the editor how to operate if he wants to match glasses in Australia. Among them, there are many spectacles who have just come to study in Australia. So today, the topic that the editor wants to talk about is how to match glasses in Australia.
optometry
The first and most cumbersome step in matching mirrors is the most familiar optometry to determine the degree of glasses you need to match.
Foreign students come to Australia need to buy insurance, but Su! You may want to find out if your insurance has purchased additional insurance.
If the purchase of additional insurance, optometry and mirror can be swiped medical insurance card!
Of course, if you have Medicare, you can have a free optometry! You asked the editor what to do, Medicare?. That's what Australian citizens and permanent residents do.
The insurance that foreign students buy is called OSHC, which does not include additional insurance, that is, they have to pay all the money for glasses and optometry, and then ask the insurance company to go to claim..
But! All that college money isn't for nothing! Some universities offer free optometry! Remember to ask the senior sister, or check the school's website, to make sure that you can have a free eyesight test.
For example, UNSW's optometry is free, and you can make an appointment by phone.

At the same time, the optometrics shop will also be equipped with professional optometrists, but need an appointment, generally can be arranged to the next day's vision, if you are "selected child", then very good, you can on the spot optometry.
OK, now let's fast forward time, now, your eyes are a blur, with a nervous and looking forward to optometry.
Optometrists are a very detailed profession, so he will ask you a lot of detailed questions, such as:
- When do you need glasses?
- How long do you wear it every day?
- Have you ever worn contact lenses, (contact lens)?
- Have you ever been injured in the eye?
- Is it a family inheritance?
Although they are very verbose (nodding), but! All optometrists in Australia need a professional license. You have to believe in their professionalism. Only by understanding these problems can they match your glasses best.
Matching mirro
Then, as at home, the time has come for all kinds of optical instruments to array, look far and close, determine astigmatism (which varies with age), refraction (myopia / presbyopia), astigmatism axis.
Optometrists change lenses of different degrees, fine-tune them to make sure they are accurate, and take a small ruler that tells you to look to the left, to the right, and to determine the pupil distance.
After the degree and pupil distance are determined, the optometrist will tell you the number of your left and right eye, and give you a report, and will ask you to the lens requirements, like resin or glass, whether to reflect light, and so on.?
Marquee
The optometry phase comes to an end, and the next thing you have to do is choose a frame.
Are you excited? What would you like to choose? A big round frame or a small side? European and American famous brand or Japanese and Korean popular style?
Why did the editor ask so carefully because of the frames you chose and the lenses you had previously chosen? It matters!
The editor is not convinced of evil, once selected resin lens, but with an oversized lens frame, optometrist said not to choose, told editor will have poor vision, editor fixed opinion, the result of the glasses dizzy to walk the road.
When it comes to the frame of choice, the editor will complain about the glasses shop in Tuao, although there are many big names, but there are very few good-looking frames. You can buy from the glasses shop opened by the Chinese, although the style is not so many, but compared with those frames in Australia, it is simply fashionable to fly up!
After you buy the frame, the clerk will write down the frame model. If you bring your own frame, the glasses store may charge a "fit fee" (fitting fee), to pay the huge sum of money, and you will get the receipt, and the receipt will have a definite time on it. Tell you which day to pick it up, and you will be notified by SMS.

Within 5 working days, you will receive a text message from the eyeglass store telling you that your glasses are ready to be removed. Then, you are confused, go to the glasses shop again.
After taking the mirror, the clerk will ask you to try it on in the store, asking you how you feel, dizzy, unclear, whether the frame is loose or something. Remember! You have to take two steps! Yes! It's okay. Two steps!
When you are sure that this pair of glasses is appropriate and comfortable, it belongs to you. If you feel a little uncomfortable, ask the clerk to help you adjust it in time. If you just adjust the frame, you can pick it up on the spot.
Tips for matching Mirro
Tip # 1: it is best to go to the glasses shop to ensure that the glasses are the most appropriate;
Tip # 2: in the prescription, OD is the degree of the right eye and OS is the degree of the left eye;
Tip # 3: the prescription is marked with "-" to indicate myopia and "to indicate hyperopia;"
Frame:
- Plastic / plate frame: light weight, brittleness, not easy to cause allergy, easy to deform;
- Metal lens frame: light and comfortable, strong and anti-corrosion, not easy to cause skin allergy;
Lenses:
- Plastic base lenses, affordable, will not be very thick, but also because of this, is not very suitable for the degree of too deep friends;
- Glass, relatively old-fashioned lenses, heavier, fragile, and pressed nose beams;
- PC film, also known as "space film," as the name implies, is ultra-light, more scratch-proof, more robust. PC film for children, or often drop things for friends would be better, because it is resistant to fall.
- Trivex, is slightly more expensive than PC, about the same thickness as PC, but ultra-scratch-proof and UV-resistant to (UV).
- High refractive index lenses, the thinnest, lightest, and, of course, the most expensive. Deep friends can choose this lens, although it is a little more expensive, but it is thin, not so much like the bottom of the bottle.
contact lenses
Now more and more young girls choose to wear contact lenses, but because contact lenses and human eye contact, the potential damage to the eyes is greater, people need to wear contact lenses carefully.
Wearing contact lenses is not a problem in itself, but unhygienic and unscientific use and self-matching without doctor's guidance can cause major problems. To know, wearing contact lenses may not be suitable for insomnia oh! It's not the editor's alarmist!
In Australia, contact lenses cannot be purchased without an optometrist's prescription sheet or minors. The optometrist at the professional glasses shop will conduct detailed tests on your eyes, and after removing some basic ophthalmopathy, they will test your eyes to determine which contact lenses you should wear. Contact lenses can only be purchased according to the optometrist's contact lens prescription order.
The cosmetic contact lenses that we often wear are contact lenses. We try to wear them only when we are out. When we go home, we take them off and wear frame glasses. If you have to wear it for a long time, choose some big brands with guaranteed quality.
If friends choose to wear stealth, be sure to form a good habit. For example:
- Wash your hands before wearing and removing contact lenses;
- Avoid wearing contact lenses if your eyes are tired or have allergic symptoms;
- Carry eye drops with you, change contact lens lotions regularly;
- Let your eyes breathe regularly;
- Regular ophthalmological examinations are carried out.
All right, with the glasses / contact lenses, you can have a clear look in front of you.
