Since most people keep a pair of prescription glasses for an average of two years, when it becomes necessary to choose new glasses frames, you should take your time to assure you are selecting frames that you are happy with. Many optometrists employ experts to help their patients select glasses frames based on what type of prescription lenses they need. You may also be lucky enough to get the assistance of someone who can help you choose glasses frames that are flattering as well. If you are left to your own devices though, there are few things to consider when choosing new glasses frames.

Bear in mind that, while most styles of frames accommodate any lens type, there may be some circumstances in which the frames you’ve chosen will not work with your prescription, so you may want to select two or three at first. To possibly narrow the selection, be sure to ask the optometrist to show you if there is a selection of frames that are paid for or discounted by your insurance company.

Choosing glasses frames:

Pay attention to both the shape of the frame and the color. Certain shaped frames do not flatter certain shaped faces. Those with oval faces can wear nearly any shape, but rounder faces should avoid round frames. Also, if you have small, close inset eyes or a small nose, be careful not to select frames that overpower your features. Similarly, those with square jaw lines should avoid square or boxy frames.

Since many of the same style glasses frames come in different colors, focus on selecting the proper size and shape frame before the color. If you wear your glasses continuously, you might consider neutral or muted colors rather than bold primary colors. If your personality warrants bright and bold, choose a color that will flatter your skin tone. An olive complexion might be striking with rich burgundy colored frames, while pale complexions can be accentuated with a cool, deep green color.

Features:

• Some frames are rimless, leaving only the arms to have substance and color.

• Some glasses frames have preformed bridges that eliminate the nose pads, which bother some people.

• If you are constantly removing and replacing your glasses throughout the day, you might want a pair of glasses frames with spring-hinged arms.

Whichever type of frame you choose, be sure your glasses are both comfortable and attractive. That might mean trying on several pairs. If you have trouble making decisions, there are some optical retailers who will allow you to try a pair for a period of time and exchange them if you don’t like them.

Different types of glasses are perceived in opposite ways. The lenses that people have to wear to correct their eyesight are not seen as very popular in today’s society. Even though more than fifty percent of people need some sort of correctional lens to bring their eyesight to 20/20, most people will do anything to avoid wearing glasses. Even though the “four eyes” taunt is no longer as prevalent as it used to be, the kids who do not have glasses tend to tease those that do have them regardless. It is hard to be different especially at a very young age.

Many people remember these experiences when they get older and even though glasses are much more widely accepted, these individuals will still do anything they can to avoid wearing them. When soft contact lenses were available for general consumer use in 1971, they became very popular. People no longer had to stick out for having bad vision, they could look like everyone else and not sacrifice their eyesight at the same time! Contact lenses have continually improved in quality and as a result, most people own both a pair of glasses and contacts and wear their contacts whenever they can.

The second type of glasses, sunglasses, has the complete opposite effect of regular glasses. Sunglasses are not only great for sun protection no matter what quality eyesight you have, they are also an important fashion accessory. Many movie stars and sports celebrities wear eye-catching shades that help them hide their image as well as define it. Whether it’s Vogue or Oakley sunglasses, are extremely important to keep your eyes shielded from the dangerous UV rays that can do significant damage to your cornea. Whether you are sunbathing at the beach or driving to work, you should always be sporting some high quality shades.

Unlike prescription glasses, sunglasses are considered extremely fashionable. Just as a particular brand is popular that year for shoes and another is popular for jeans, different brands are in the running for that year’s most sought after sunglasses. Make a fashion statement when you walk out wearing a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses or the latest design shades from D&G. Either way, sunglasses are a must-have item no matter what season it is!

Prescription glasses wearers can even enjoyed stylish sunglasses even if they do not want to switch over to contact lenses. Many companies have developed prescription sunglasses so you can enjoy great looking sunglasses without giving up your vision!
