| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis explores the advancements in eyewear technology, particularly the development of advanced coatings and materials for eyewear, and their impact on the optical industry. The study includes a systematic search of the Medline database, primarily through PubMed, to investigate the effects of different coatings on eyeglasses. The findings indicate that antireflective coatings, sol-gel coatings, and ophthalmic lens coatings have significantly improved vision by reducing reflection, increasing thermal resistivity, and enhancing mechanical durability. High wrap frames and high base curve lenses have been found to be effective in preventing UV radiation, while coatings with low UV reflectance can provide adequate protection. Blue-light filtering lenses have been shown to reduce blue light transmission with minimal impact on visual performance, but their effectiveness in reducing digital eye strain is still a topic of debate. The study concludes that advancements in eyewear technology have significantly improved the quality and effectiveness of eyeglasses, and ongoing research aims to further improve eye protection and visual performance. |
