They're great at helping the patient out.

picking things and they'll know automatically what material of lens we should go to, you know, and you want to have something that will complement your face and shape and your business or casual and, you know, multiple pairs have become very common.

your athletic pair for going to jogging and then your dressy pair to go to work.

And so it's not what it used to be where, you know, we had, I had Sally, Jesse, Raphael, red, huge glasses and that one pair and the parents weren't buying them every year.

So you were stuck with whatever you had.

So with respect to helping people see, we have so many more options available to us than when I started practicing 30 years ago.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, the Polaroid filter.

It is literally a filter that is sandwiched between the lens.

And you really want to try it to see if your glasses are polarized.

Just next time you're at a gas station and you're looking at the LED screen, if you just tilt your head from side to side,

you'll notice that that screen disappears.

It goes black and then you tilt your head back and you can see the digits again.

And that's the polarization is basically a filter that decreases that reflective glare.

So when you're talking about using them on the water, you can see through the water better because it decreases the glare of the light off of the water.

If you're skiing, it decreases that reflective glare off of the snow.

When you're driving and you've got cars coming towards you and the sunlight's hitting those cars, it decreases that reflection towards you.

That's a great point.

We tend to stare for sure.

When we are on our devices, our blink rate will decrease from 22 times a minute to nine times a minute.
