    About Progressive Lenses

       Usually, after turning 40 years old, human eyes will gradually become impaired, and gradually people can't clearly see things in close distance. Reading glasses are then needed.

        

       The first generation of reading glasses only has one diopter in the lens,

          and the second generation has two diopters in the lens. But the second generation has  safety problems, such as not being able to take the stairs or driving, so it was not even as popular as the first generation.

       Then the third generation reading glasses with progressive multifocal lenses were invented and have completely solved the vision problems of the middle-aged and elderly people. One piece of lens could satisfy all the gradual vision requirement from near to far, so that users can read, watch TV and drive at the same time.

          When you read the newspaper ,you  need to be careful with your children, and maybe look at the scenery in the distance.

    When you shoot a video for others, will need to see the screen clearly,
    as well as what is being shot.

        Progressive multifocal lenses are very expensive to be produced at first, but with the maturity of technology and the increase in factories, prices are starting to become more available to more people. TAKEMOTO aims at developing a professional progressive multifocal eyewear brand that serves the vast majority of middle-class consumers. The frames are all natural materials and can even achieve “zero chemistry” as needed.

         

        When you drive, you always need to take a look at the navigation occasionally, then look at the road ahead, as well as various road signs.  Ordinary reading glasses can't help you see everything clearly. You may choose a pair of reading glasses or not wearing them, but when you stop to watch your phone or study the itinerary, you have to find your reading glasses.  In addition to the transparent blue-light progressive reading glasses, TAKE progressive also offers the choice of transitional and colored sunglasses, making it a perfect choice for traveling or driving.  

          

     How to get the diopter?   

       

         If you don't have myopia or astigmatism in the past, need not to see the doctor to get the diopter. 

        You only need to choose your original diopter, plus +0.25, and the other data will be generated automatically. Only few reading glasses will need far-distance diopters, and we will confirm it for you.

        If you do have a prescription from doctor, that mean you need to customize the lenses, usually with myopia and astigmatism, then we need a picture of prescription, will need one week to customize.

     

    Precautions of Progressive Glasses


    1.Progressive glasses require an adjustment period, which usually takes a few days, if fail to adapt to them, please contact us within 2 weeks.

    2.If there is a problem with the size and diopter ,please contact us within 3 days of receiving them.

    3.If it is a customized frames or lenses, refund is not acceptable, but you can replace them until they are right.

    Read Your Prescription

    If you can’t make sense of your eyeglass prescription, you’re not alone.

    Common Rx Acronyms

    • OD=Oculus Dexter refers to right eye.
    • OS=Oculus Sinister refers to left eye.
    • SPH=Sphere corrects nearsighted or farsighted vision.
    • CYL=Cylinder combined with Axis corrects astigmatism.
    • PD=Pupillary Distance is the measurement of distance between the pupils.

    Here are some common prescription types to help you navigate yours.

    Standard Grid Format

    This is the most common format with clearly printed fields for OD, OS, SPH, CYL, etc.; values are usually entered with computer, but may be handwritten by doctor.

    Rx Notes:

    Sphere (SPH) and Cylinder (CYL) always have a (+) or (-) sign.

    On any prescription, PD can be written in different ways: e.g., 62 (Single PD), 33/31 (Dual PD), or 62/60 (Distance PD/Near PD).

    Standard RX

    Blank Format

    The information on this free-form prescription is usually handwritten.

    blanket RX

    Progressive / Bifocal

    For multi-focal glasses, as well as reading and computer glasses, your Rx will include an ADD or NV value. This number always has a (+) sign.

    Rx Note:

    The type of Rx glasses may be noted on a prescription, such as DV [Distance Vision/nearsightedness] and NV [Near Vision/reading].

    Prescription with Prism

    The less common prism Rx refers to the amount of prismatic power needed to compensate for eye alignment issues (e.g., double vision or “lazy eye”). The prism Rx will have two values: PRISM & BASE.

    Rx Note:

    BO=Base Out, BI=Base In, BU=Base Up, and BD (or BDn)=Base Down.

    Vertical Prescription

    Unlike typical Rx formats, with values going from left to right, the vertical Rx values are listed top to bottom. This format is less common in the US.

      History of TAKEMOTO

      takemoto brand since 2018

      The Origin of the Brand Name TAKEMOTO

      In 1999, Mr. Huang(Takemoto) met a talented and brilliant girl, Ms. Liu, in the eyewear company for which he worked. They fell in love with each other at first sight. One day the girl gave Mr. Huang a pen name竹本(Zhu Ben, literally meaning bamboo and stem) when joking with him. Actually this was just a mischievous joke between young lovers, simply because竹and本could form a Chinese character笨(ben, could mean silly).

      Later the girl graduated and left that city, and they had never seen each other ever since. Takemoto has become Mr. Huang’s pen name from then on, no matter for writing or for drawing. When he started to design and make eyewear in 2008, without any hesitation, he decided to use it as the brand name, but it was impossible to directly translate it into English. While in Japanese, the corresponding character of surname TAKEMOTO is exactly竹本, and the pronunciation and the form are both nice. Therefore, TAKEMOTO has thus become the brand name.

      Mr. Huang is kindly addressed as TAKE by his overseas friends, and this is the origin of the sub-brand TAKEBYTAKEMOTO. The biggest difference between TAKEMOTO and other Western handmade eyewear brand is that, it contains oriental aesthetics and ancient wits in craftsmanship, in spite the fact that the environment and the views of many people has been one of the biggest obstacles for brand development. However, with sincere love for Chinese culture, Mr. Takemoto named the highest-end collection as TAKEHUANG in 2018. By applying the Chinese surname in the logo, he also hopes that one day a symbol of Chinese character can appear as one of the worlds top brands in the future.

      The Monologue of the Founder

      For 23 years I have been trekking alone,

      through countless thorny wasteland.

      More than often I was surrounded by enemies,

      but I conquered all the need. welcome and indifference

      Through the everlasting loneliness and nights.

      I saw you standing in the library.

      You seem to have been looking forward for a long time.

      and together we can build a splent new kingdom

      -----TAKEMOTO.HUANG

      -----2019

      In 2010,I moved to 2#Studio after dismissing the trading company and putting an end to domestic business. This place belongs to the government's creative industry park. I left there with anger because I couldn't bear the corruption and malfeasance. In 2013,I started to build the 3#Studio on the top of my home of the 7th floor all by myself it took me two years and thousands of times going upstairs and downstails carrying things of almost 5tons in total it was two years of exhaustion In 2015, it was torn down fiercely by the government in ridicule. This was the most miserable memory in the development of the brand.

      takemoto four studio

      In 2016, I finally found an abandoned old house in an impoverished mountain village, and transformed it to the4# Studio. From then on, I do not have to drift about and have enough space for development steadily. It covers 200 square metres and has received visitors from Canada Germany, and the USA etc. Expanding the production capacity of low-end products has solved the employment problems of local people in need to some degree, and has driven the development of traditional local craftsmanship 108 Craftsmen Association was then established in 2017.

      No one knows what I have endured in the past decades.For the development of career and pursuit of the dream, I have sold an apartment, two optical stores, and two online optical shops in China, and even sold my favourite Rolex watch in the most difficult time. However, my family did not recognize or support my career; they merely reluctantly supported me. The government has ignored a brand with outstanding position in the world and has never provided any help. Therefore, I would most like to thank you, every customer from North America, the Europe, and Australia… It was your trust and support that cultivated the brand through all the difficulties.

      Takemoto.Huang

      Thank you.
