Well, maybe. As someone who swears by polarized lenses due to my Scandinavian love of water, I have gone through life assuming those lenses will do me just fine in whatever activities I participate in. After spending a week learning all about Nike Vision while in the Competitive Advantage Tent at the Transitions PGA Championship last month, my eyes started crossing (definitely not helpful when playing golf) with all of the amazing lens technology that is currently out there.
There was one that completely reasonated with me because I could really identify with it. I asked Andy S. with Nike Vision to share with us why the Nike Max Optics and Max Golf Tint may be a better option than a polarized tint when trying to hit a little round contraption into that obscure hole hundreds of yards away…

My morning ritual was interrupted in such a way that the remainder of my day will suffer. I was thrilled to discover that all my meetings were canceled, which means that I can envelope myself in small project that must be completed in a couple of days. Settling into my chair, I reached for my work glasses glazed with a pair of Near Variable Focus [NVF] lenses, but much to my horror, they were gone, as if they had sprouted wee little legs and scampered off to the place all lost eyewear longs to be.
I love these specs because they provide crisp, clear vision when I work on my computer and they let me position my head comfortably when doing so. It’s not that I can’t see out of my progressives when working, it’s just that the NVF lenses are considerably more comfortable. They’ll never replace my regular eyeglasses because the lenses lack any distance correction; they only correct near and intermediate vision. Read more »

I was an optician for 12 years before joining VSP and I’ve heard many reasons for broken frames and lenses. Here are a few of my favorites.
1. I think there’s something wrong with my glasses.
My patient stands before me, squinting through glasses that are clearly askew. I can tell right off that his glasses are missing a nose pad—no wait, make that both nose pads—and the arm that holds the nose pad, and I wonder how he was able to drive to the office.
Did you know that you can visit your VSP eye doctor to change out old nose pads for shiny new ones? Over time the natural oils in your skin can turn nose pads green. Pop in and give your frames a quick, much-needed refresh just by changing the nose pads.

A physics professor at the University of Oxford may have found a unique avenue to help those who don’t have access to eyeglasses in developing countries. Joshua Silver has developed frames with the unique ability to adjust to variable strengths, on-the-fly. One frame with the potential to serve millions without a visit to an optometrist?
Here’s a quick rundown on how those glasses work:
The secret of the self-refractive glasses is their lenses. They consist of clear membranes filled with silicon oil, protected by plastic discs. The wearer can adjust the amount of oil in the lenses using a dial fitted to a syringe on the arms of the glasses.
