How to Buy Your Next Pair of Glasses Online

The purpose of this article is to simply describe what you need to do to buy your first pair of glasses online. I will not recommend particular retailers, as you can find that info in several of my other articles and also check out the links on the right of this page. Purchasing eyewear online seems daunting at first. If you're like me, purchasing and fitting prescription glasses always seemed like a complex procedure best left to professionals. The truth is, if you know your prescription and have your existing rx glasses handy, it is really quite simple to purchase glasses online.

The Seven Critical Numbers

First, find your current prescription. I keep mine in the health file in my filing cabinet. If you can't find your prescription, visit wherever you last had your eyes examined and request a copy. Your optician, optometrist, or ophthalmologist is required by law to release your eyewear prescription to you. You now need to make note of a few critical pieces of information from your prescription (see example above--click to enlarge). Among other information, you should see three columns on your prescription--sphere, cylinder, and axis.

In the example above, these are abbreviated SPH. CYL. and AXIS. These three columns will have two rows, Right and Left. In the prescription above, this is simply abbreviated R and L. Many doctors instead use the latin abbreviations, which are OD and OS. OD means right eye and OS means left eye. Jot down a quick copy of the six numbers or simply keep your prescription handy. These six critical numbers define how your lens will be carved. Any online eyewear retailer will ask for the input of these six numbers.

In addition to these six numbers, there is one more critical number, the Pupillary Distance, or PD. This is a measure, in millimeters, of the space between your eyes. In the example prescription above, you'll see the Pupillary Distance of the patient is 62. Jot down this number also, it is the seventh of your seven critical numbers.

A Final Measurement

A somewhat less critical number is your temple length. If you're lucky, you'll also see a temple length and bridge size in your prescription. If not, don't sweat it, you can figure it out yourself. The temple length describes the length of the two bars that connect the glasses to your ears. It is measured from where the 90-degree curve from your lens structure to the side bars (temples) begins to the very end of the temple, including the curve. It is not measured from the flex point of the temples, because the "stub" between the flex point and lens structure is not a standard size.

Now, take out some measuring tape (preferably the type of tape used for fitting clothes and sewing, as it is very flexible) and measure an existing pair of glasses that fit comfortably. An average temple length for men is 135mm or 145mm. For women, 130mm to 140mm is standard. If your tape only has inches, measure to the nearest eighth or sixteenth and multiply that number by 25.4 to get the measurement in millimeters. Temple lengths are generally available in 5mm increments, such as 130, 135, 140, 145, etc. At most online eyeglasses stores, temple length is shown within a frame description and is not customizable. Therefore, you need to find a frame with an appropriate temple size. This sometimes varies if you are at a site specializing in designer glasses, where you have the option to input your own temple size.

Honestly, temple size is not a huge deal. I have one pair of glasses with 135mm temples and another with 140mm temples. Both pairs fit comfortably. If for some reason you can't come up with a temple measurement, don't let that stop you from making an eyewear purchase online. Instead, simply choose 140mm temples if you are a man and 135mm temples if you are a woman. Chances are, this length will fit comfortably.

What's your Style?

Armed with your seven critical numbers and an idea on your temple length, start browsing the myriad of online retailers. Pick out some favorite frames and open the individual pages in separate tabs or windows of your web browser. Similar to trying on glasses at a standard retailer, you need to figure out if the frames you like are appropriate for your face. You might visit my post on the topic of face shape. If you have a nice oval face, you're in luck, most any pair will look on you. If you have strong, angular features, a rounded or rimless pair will look god on you. If you have a very round face, choose a rectangular or hexagonal pair of glasses. If you just want a basic pair of professional glasses, go with titanium rimless.

Using your trusty measuring tape, you can compare other measurements of your existing glasses with what you are looking at online. The bridge measurement describes the distance between lenses, the height describes the distance from the lowest point on the front of the frame to the highest point, and the lens describes the distance between the end of the bridge and the beginning of the temple. Some retailers also offer free virtual try-on. This service, which I describe in will allow you to upload a picture and place a variety of frame types on your face.

Place your Order

So you've found the perfect pair of frames. Begin the checkout process. You should see boxes where you can enter your prescription information (the seven critical numbers). This will sometimes be in a table format similar to your prescription, or it may be a simple list. You'll also have the option to choose from a variety of coatings and add-ons. If you will be wearing your glasses day-in and day-out, I recommend choosing the anti-scratch and anti-reflective coatings. These really do make a difference and ease night driving (anti-reflective) and the longevity of being able to see clearly through your lens (anti-scratch). You can add on the UV coating if you wish, though it isn't critical. Photochromatic tinting (aka "transition lens") is also an option. Personally, I prefer buying a separate pair of prescription sunglasses, but that is up to you.

If you only wear glasses occasionally (maybe as a supplement to contact lenses), or are just purchasing a pair of Rx sunglasses that won't be worn every waking hour, you might choose to save money by skipping on the extras. If you are buying a pair for your accident-prone child, skimping on the extras might not be such a bad idea either. Avoid coatings and other add-ons will also allow you to get a great pair of prescription glasses for well under $40. After you've placed your order, you'll typically wait about 2-to-3 weeks for your glasses to be custom carved and delivered. The finished product will typically include a hard case and a soft cloth for lens cleaning.

In this I show a video of the exact product received from a popular online eyewear retailer.

Side Note One: "Help, I don't have a prescription!"

If it has been a long time since your eyes have been examined, or if you just can't get a hold of your prescription, it's time to go visit an optometrist. While your neighborhood optometrist may charge $100 or more for a simple examination, discount stores like Wal-Mart, or optometrists in working-class neighborhoods will often offer an eye exam for $40 or less. Grab your yellow pages and start making phone calls. Chances are, you'll get the best price if you find an optometrist who has many customers without vision insurance.

Side Note Two: "How can it be so cheap?"

The price difference between online eyewear and glasses bought from a traditional retailer, or even Wal-Mart or Costco, is startling. An identical pair of titanium frames might cost $60 online and $220 at Wal-Mart. How can this be? What about the quality? I will categorically state that the quality of glasses received from the majority of online retailers is equal to or exceeds the quality found at your neighborhood eyewear shop or optometrist. The price differential comes from a number of factors, including the relative obscurity of online eyewear purchases, the fact that highly paid optometrists do not spend one-on-one time with the eyewear purchaser, and the fact that insurance companies are typically not involved with online eyewear purchases, thereby discouraging inflated prices.

Give it a try. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with your online eyewear purchase if you follow the steps outlined in this article.

Comparing Polycarbonate Lenses With Standard CR39 Lenses

CR-39 refers to the material that is used to make the majority prescription lenses. It is an optical grade plastic polymer recognised for its light weight, chemical resistance properties and 'tint-ability'. In comparable prescriptions it is approximately half the weight of glass lenses, while being slightly thicker. Its impact resistance is greater than glass but does not rise to the level of polycarbonate and it should not be considered for applications where impacts are prevalent. On this basis, it is not recommended for active sports and motorcycling. It is more scratch resistant than polycarbonate, but will scratch if not properly taken care of.

Polycarbonate is an impact resistant material. It is becoming used more widely in recent times - especially for motorcycling and action sports. It is also used frequently for the glazing of rimless frames because of these properties. Although polycarbonate is impact resistant, it should not be considered indestructible. Polycarbonate is the strongest material available and will have the tendency to break into larger pieces, instead of the CR39's smaller pieces, and is, consequently, less hazardous. Polycarbonate is thinner than standard CR39.

Polycarbonate lenses are ten times more impact resistant than other plastics making them highly suitable for action sports or folk that are a little (shall we say) heavy-handed! They offer UV protection and stop 99.9% of rays from the sun, fluorescent lights and computer screens. Our polycarbonate lenses are supplied with a scratch resistant coating and are thinner than standard lens and therefore more comfortable to wear.

Comparison of Lens Materials & Material Characteristics

Polycarbonate

- Strongest material for impact resistance
- Lightweight
- Can be coated for scratch resistance
- Most have built-in UV radiation protection

Plastic (CR39)

- About one-half the weight of glass
- Resistant to solvents and pitting
- More choices for coatings and tinting

How to Choose Eyeglasses For Men

Men are always concerned about their comfort apart from style and fashion when it comes to their eyeglasses. The durability and the fit of the glasses matter to them much more than that of women. They may wear a frame according to the choice of someone special but they will not forgo their comfort under any circumstances. According to a research conducted by Vision Council of America the fact that comfort is the main concern for men was highlighted. About 59%of the men agreed to this fact. There was another majority of men who emphasized on durability of frames stating that frames that are flexible and does not break easily are their main concern.

Here we will discuss some points which will allow checking whether the eyeglass frame you are going for is comfortable. Make sure of the fact that the temples of the frame does not dig into the side of your head. The next fact you have to see is that the temples are long enough. You should also check out the nosepiece and make sure that they are adjustable and are made up of soft silicon material. The last thing you should check is that the eyeglass stays in place when you move your head up and down.

Men who are looking for frames which are more durable should ensure the fact that the frames are made up of titanium, stainless steel and other flexible material such as Flexon. These materials are very strong and are much more durable. Men's eyeglasses are such where there is a combination of fashion and function. There are five trends quite common in all men's eyeglasses.

Firstly the use of aviator glasses and double brow-bar style has been the latest trend. These eyeglasses are made of new material.

Secondly the use of large and bold frames is quite common today. This is the latest trend. These type of frames mostly suit men with big faces.

The third type of frames available today is in rimless and semi-rimless styles. These frames are mostly preferred by men who want a new look and trendy look. These frames along with anti-reflective glasses are very light and thus render a lot of comfort.

Fourthly the use of titanium frames is very common. This is because this material is very light weighted, non corrosive and very durable. Stainless steel and aluminum frames are also durable and light weighted, thus making these frames very popular.

Fifthly plastic frames are also being used to give a trendy and retro look. These frames are also lightweight, durable and comfortable. These frames are mostly preferred by the youngsters as they are available in a variety of styles.

How to Find the Best Reading Glasses For Your Face Shape

When selecting reading glasses and sunreaders, it is important to take into consideration your face shape. You may love the funky design of a great sunreader, but will it be flattering on your face? Or would you look ridiculous and peculiar?

It would certainly be helpful to have an honest friend to bring along during your shopping trip. But that's not always effective, especially when you don't have a friend who has a tuned aesthetic eye. Or you might end up bringing someone who would just nod approvingly to each frame.

Luckily, there is another way to choose the best reading glasses for you, without involving a friend who does not want to hurt your feelings. This strategy is great when you are planning to surprise everyone with your new look. And the strategy simply involves the use of geometry, your basic knowledge of shapes.

If you can tell the difference between a triangle and a square, then you've already acquired the basic skills. If you can distinguish an oblong from an oval, then you're in good shape. And if you simply look at the mirror and honestly analyze the shape your face resembles, then you can buy the reading glasses best suited for you.

Flattering reading glasses for a triangular face

You friends may have teased you about the triangular singularity of your face. Your forehead is unusually narrow, while your chin and cheeks are distinctly wide. When people look at you, their eyes are drawn to the dominant lower half of your face.

The good news is that you have something in common with Julia Roberts and Eric Bana.

More good news is that you have a wide variety of choices when it comes to reading glasses! However, that does not mean that you can let someone else buy your reader glasses. In fact, the best reading glasses for a triangular face are low-temple styles, semi-rimless frames, aviator style reading glasses, and cat-eye frames. If you are not savvy to the names of such frames, all you need to remember is to choose reading glasses that will add width to the upper part of your face.

Stylish reading glasses that soften a square face

You may have noticed that people have second thoughts about approaching you, even though your closest friends swear that you have the most congenial personality. But the truth is right in front of that mirror. Your face has a square shape. It is a formidable and powerful face. Your jaw is pronounced and your forehead is wide.

For a man, a square face conveys undeniable strength, such as the face of Bruce Willis. For a woman, the square shape has led to many agonizing minutes of using makeup to soften the overall countenance. But some women, like Jamie Lee Curtis, appear comfortable with their square faces. The secret is around the eyes. With the right reading glasses or sunreaders, a woman does need to not worry much about makeup. The reader glasses that will soften the square face are those with round frames. For a really chic look, opt for designer reading glasses whose left and right edges flow past the shape of the face.

Define circular faces with chic reading glasses

You've been called baby-face so many times you're beginning to think it is your official nickname. When people see your round face, they can't help but think of babies, who are, after all, born with cute round faces.

However, you do not need to lose sleep over a face shape reminiscent of your childhood. Drew Barrymore and Kate Winslet are in the same boat. You should enjoy that youthful shape, but you also needed something else to make people realize that you are an adult.

To add sophistication to your appearance, you will need reading glasses with angular frames, with the horizontal widths significantly longer than the vertical length. To add glitz, you can opt for rhinestones and colored temples. Your best reading glasses should also have a distinct bridge between the eyes.

Keeping the proportions of an oval face with reading glasses

An oval face is considered the most balanced, and sometimes, the most coveted, especially when represented by the beautiful faces of Sharon Stone, Tyra Banks, and Cindy Crawford. An oval face's cheekbones are high, while the chin is slightly narrower than the forehead, and the jaws are soft.

For the oval face, the best reading glasses show off the simplicity of such balance. The size of the frames should be wider than the cheeks. And the reading glasses should be simple with minimum motifs or designs. You might be disappointed with the idea that designer reading glasses are not recommended for you, but there is really nothing needed to fix for your perfectly shaped face.

Reading glasses balance an oblong face

The oblong shape has been the culprit for creating the impression of sadness on a face. The cheek line is precisely defined, making it longer and narrower. The long face is conventionally associated with the sad face. But if you knew the alluring Gwyneth Paltrow has an oblong face, then there is nothing to be sad about.

To ensure that the right reading glasses complement such a face, you need to stick to three basic types. These are the low-triangle frames, the round frames, and the semi-rimless frames. These types of reader glasses add width to the face.

Stylish reading glasses that add sparkle to diamond faces

You may have found your reflection a little bit peculiar, especially when you and your friends are standing side by side in front of the mirror. The reason for the difference is the diamond shape of your face. Among your friends and family, you are the only one with such a face shape.

However, don't think of yourself as odd because Sophia Loren and Katherine Hepburn also have the same face shape. Think of yourself as rare. And think of yourself lucky because you look great in many types of reading glasses, including rimless frames, oval frames, and cat-eye frames. Designer reading glasses will look great on you, especially when the design is dominant along the brow lines.

Lovely glasses for heart-shaped faces

Lastly, you may have been blessed with a heart-shaped face. Your cheekbones are high and slopes steeply towards a very narrow chin. Your forehead also appears too wide. But you must remember that it is an affectionate face that seems to always look tender and sweet, even when annoyed. It is a face similar to those of Halle Berry, Pierce Brosnan, and Reese Witherspoon.

The safest choice for the heart-shaped face is a pair with rimless frames. If you prefer to wear frames, you can explore designer reading glasses with frames that are wider at the bottom.

Virtual Try-On - Choose and Try on Lenses Online

Nowadays, there are many websites providing Virtual Try-on systems allowing you to choose, to try on and to purchase lenses online. It was a pleasant surprise for me to learn of this Virtual Try-on system. Before I know such a system, I usually need to go to a local glasses store to choose a pair of suitable lenses by trying on several pairs of glasses. Then I will choose to purchase the same lenses online because it is much cheaper than its full price. Now it is much more convenient to buy glasses online. Let me share with you the experience of trying on lenses online.

First you should find a websites that provide Virtual Try-on service. For example, I visit the Firmoo's website, Firmoo.com, which is introduced by a friend of mine. If you are the first time to use this system, it is recommended that you spend one minute creating an account which will allow you to upload photos of yourself and shop faster online.

The following simple four steps allow you to try on glasses online conveniently.

The first step is to choose a photo for you to try on glasses. You can upload your own photos from your local disk or you can get your photos from your webcam. The photos you used to try on glasses online should be similar with your certificate photo. Besides, you can also choose female or male models' photo provide by the websites.

The second step is to select a pair of glasses from the Select Style column. You can use the drop down combo box to narrow your search. For example, you can select your gender, and there are four choice, women, man, unisex and kids. You can select frame size of small, middle and large. You can select frame styles such as full rim, semi-rimless and rimless. You can limit the materials of glasses to one of the following: plastic, metal, titanium and flexible. There are five glasses styles for you choose form, including classic style, fashion style, retro style, style and clip-ons style. Firmoo.com also provides you several price ranges from under $10 to over $50. After you set up the search condition, you just need to click the button of Search.

The third step is to choose a pair of glasses in the column of Frame List all of which are in accordance with your search condition. Just click the picture of glasses that you like, you will find that the glasses you chosen have been on your photo.

The last step you should do is to adjust your photo to a suitable size (using the zoom in and zoom out tools just beside your photo) and position (moving your photo using the left mouse button) to see if the glasses are suitable for you. It is better for you to know your interpupillary distance before you try on glasses online so that you can adjust your photo to the size of you face using the approximately measure tool.

Help yourself repeating the four steps described above until you find a pair of glasses that you favor most.

The Types of Reading Glasses That Are Available Today

Reading glasses are more important than you might have thought them to be. At certain age, it becomes necessary to use these glasses so that you can view things clearly. Though there are quite a lot of new scientific developments that continue to be made like laser surgery and others, most people prefer to use glasses since they are comfortable to use and less expensive. These glasses are helpful when it becomes frustrating to read anything at all.

The Main Types of Glasses Available

Basically there are two main types of reading glasses that are available today. The full framed ones are the glasses where the lens is entirely adjusted according to the power that has been prescribed to you. The half eye glasses are the ones which are smaller in size. These glasses would remain on the lower end of the nose. These glasses are more convenient to use and are used by thousands of people across the world. You would have to choose your glasses from among these two choices. Try on both of these glasses to know which one you find the most comfortable to wear and use.

Deciding Which Glasses are Best for You

You will have to choose your reading glasses based on a few factors. If you have to deal with a lot of paper work and reading through the day, then you should select the full framed glasses. However, when you look up from the books and see through the lens, things at a distance would be blurred. When you use the half eyed glasses, you would be able to see clearly when you look down and while looking up to see things at a distance, you would be looking over your glasses so your vision would be absolutely clear. Those who are aged might need to use the bifocal lenses or the progressive ones which can be the solution for seeing clearly things that are at a distance as well as close at hand.

Some of the Other Choices Available

You can also select reading glasses that can turn to sunglasses when you are out in the sunlight. The handy readers are the ones which are not to be worn on a regular basis. These are quite compact and can be carried around in a tiny case. Magnifiers are also available in the market which can be worn as a pendant around the neck. Lenses made from plastic can also be tried since these are very sleek and thin and can be comfortably used. Even without the spectacle frames, you can use the lenses when you really need them. There are several other choices that are available too.

Since there are so many choices available today, it might be a little overwhelming for you. Quite a lot of people find these choices to be very confusing since they are unable to decide what type of glasses would suit them the best. This is especially true for people who have just been prescribed glasses for the first time. If you are unsure of what might be the best for you, the right thing to do would be to consult an eye doctor and ask for suggestions for reading glasses.

Great Tips on Frame Type Selection - Full Rim, Semi Rim or Rimless Frames?

With the development of prescription glasses, more and more different designed eyeglass frames have become available. Normally, frames can be divided into three different types - full rim, semi rim and rimless. Many people may ask about which frame type is better when they prepare to buy the prescription glasses at retail stores or online stores. Actually, each frame type has its own features.

Full rim eyeglasses, also called "hide-a-bevel" eyeglasses. They are not only the most original eyeglasses but also the most common and used designs. They encircle the prescription lenses completely; can hold the lenses tightest, and also available for the thinnest prescription lenses. The full rim eyeglasses frames do a good job of avoiding the edges of the lenses exposed; they are the good choice for people who have strong prescriptions.

Semi rim eyeglasses frames, also known as "grooved" frames, only cover half the prescription lenses. There are nylon strings or liners running along the bottom of the prescription lenses to hold the lenses, so the semi rim frames are lighter than full rim frames. For these frames, when we assemble the prescription glasses, we need to cut grooves into the prescription lenses edges. For this reason, the thicker lenses are required for the semi rim eyeglass frames in order to not chip and crack.

Rimless eyeglass, as the name implies, have no rim. The lenses are joined by the nose bridge and the temples are joined to the lenses on the other ends. The rimless rim eyeglass are the lightest eyewear. They are timeless as they are very simple, and make you look confident and versatile. But due to there is no rim surrounding the lenses providing sufficient protection, they are least durable. Additional, the rimless eyeglass frame put very high amount of stress on the prescription lenses, so it is recommended that CR39 lenses should be avoided to use, and high index lenses with better durability are recommended such as polycarbonate lenses.

How to Buy Prescription Eyeglasses Online

Prescription eyeglasses are those that are made as per the prescription of the ophthalmologist. There are a lot of companies selling prescription eyeglasses online, for you to choose from. Most of them brag about their merchandise, but you must be very careful when buying eyeglasses, because it is one of the most vital parts of your body.

Prescription eyeglasses come in three types; single vision, bifocal and the progressive. Single vision means both lenses have the same focal length. Bifocal is where both the eyes have different range of defect and need lenses with different focal length. Progressive, on the other hand, is adjustable for slight variations in focus.

The most important thing to keep in mind while buying prescription eyeglasses, is the clarity and focus of the lenses. When buying online you cannot put on the glasses and check the clarity and focus. The right thing is to make sure that the measurements are accurate and conform to the measurements of the glass you order. Lenses are made from pure glass, fibre glass and now, there are the plastic lenses. Variations according to the material of lens can also happen.

The selection of frames comes next. When you select frames, you must consider lens width, lens height, temple length, bridge, frame width and frame weight. Here too, accuracy of measurement is to be kept. Material of the frame should also be taken into account, because some materials may be allergic to you. Instead of going for expensive frames, it is wise to select that which is comfortable and an easy fit for you. The other points; shape, color, lens height, etc. can be decided according to your sense of beauty and convenience.

Eyeglasses VS Contact Lenses

Eyeglasses are perfect for those who don't like to wear contacts. Contact lenses can sometimes irritate people's eyes because they are not used to having a small piece of plastic in their eye, and it becomes uncomfortable. The greatest solution for this is to purchase a pair of Eye Glasses that have the correct lens prescription for your eyes and wear those instead of contact lenses.

Contacts can also become ripped every now and then, and when this happens they can scratch the cornea. If your cornea does become scratched by a ripped contact, the best solution for this is to simply not wear contact lenses for many days until your eye gets better. While you are waiting for your cornea to heal, you can wear Rx Glasses to correct your vision.

Though many might be hesitant to wear eye glasses because they fear that they could break, there are actually many types of eyeglass lenses that are designed not to break when hit or dropped. Shatter-resistant lenses, such as plastic, polycarbonate or other hi-index material lenses, have various degrees of strength to ensure that they will not break when dropped or mishandled. In fact, polycarbonate surpass AR lenses are 10 times more impact resistant then regular plastic lenses. These types of lenses are great for kids or sports activists.

Also, there are many types of eyeglass frame materials that are shatter resistant as well. Plastic and metal frames are good for shatter resistance because they are sturdy. Wire glasses frames don't shatter, but they bend very easily so they are not ideal for kids or aggressive activities.

If you play sports and you prefer not to wear eyeglasses, you may also consider getting some prescription goggles.

Aside from being protective, Eye Glasses can be very stylish as well. Many popular celebrities, like Bono of U2, Woody Allen, and Elton John often wear glasses as a sense of fashion more than anything else. In fact, many fashion apparel companies like Calvin Klein, Levis, and Armani have a wide selection of eyewear models to choose from. These models are made for men and women, and include many types of glasses frames like cat eye, aviator, wayfarer, rimless, and many others. These eyeglass frames come in plastic material, metal, or a combination of both.

If you want your glasses to be hardley noticeable, you may like to choose rimless or semi-rimmed eyeglass frames. Rimless eyeglasses frames

Pick Fashion Sunglasses That Add Characters To Your Face

Never have there been so many fashion sunglasses styles and colors to choose from whether you are shopping for designer sunglasses, replica sunglasses, prescription sunglasses or sports sunglasses the choices are endless. Besides protecting your eyes from the sun's harmful rays, sunglasses, also play important roles in showing your personalities and adding complement to your wardrobe.

Take a clue from celebs and fashion types who know that the right pair of fashion sunglasses can add instant mystique, chic and polish to any look.

Styles

Fashion Sunglasses trends have taken their cue from runway and street fashion. Trendy tints span the rainbow, so look for a hue that flatters your coloring.
Wraps. Extending past the eye to the temple, this style "wraps" around the face.

Shields. One-piece shields have a modern look and are often partially rimmed or rimless and come in a wide range of tints.

Aviators. Shaped like a teardrop, metal-rimmed aviators have enjoyed waves of trendiness since WWII when pilots favored this style.

Clip-ons. An easy way to convert prescription eyeglasses to sunwear, clip-on shades can attach with either clips or magnets.

Flatter Your Face.

In general, women should choose a pair of Fashion Ladies Sunglasses in a shape that is the opposite of your face shape.

Round faces look best in anything but round shades. Frames should make the face appear longer and thinner. In general, look for frames equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. Minimize the curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular styles or double brow styles. Higher temples will create a longer profile. Sunglasses with brow bars also pull the eye upward, making the face appear longer. A rounder face can carry off geometric shapes, ovals, wraps and shields.

Square face consists of a strong jawline, a broad forehead and wide cheekbones. Reduce the angles with soft, curvy styles that will give the face some definition such as cat-eye styles. The classic ovals also works well for this face shape.

More angular or thin faces look better in rounder frames; oval faces can carry off almost any style.

Purchasing sunglasses can be an exciting and overwhelming experience given the vast array of styles, designs and colors of sunglasses frames and lenses to choose from. With so many wonderful sunglasses to choose from, your sure to have at least a few pairs in your collection. When shopping for sunglasses it helps to know in advance what sunglasses frames look best on you. Whether you need there are sunglasses to complement every face shape, lifestyle and preference.

Shapes of Eyeglasses Frames

Since there are many aspects that should be assessed, it is can hardly be easy to get an appropriate pair of eyeglasses. Two most basic aspects are eyeglass frame and lenses. Evaluating eyeglass lenses, there are lens materials, visual correction type, lens thickness as well as other factors. When it comes to cosmetic spectacles, it is always still necessary to a choose lens color. Furthermore, some opticians or eye care practitioners would recommend special lens coatings such as anti-reflective coating, scratch-resistant coating and so on. With detailed explanation by the doctor, the final decision often depends on the customer. The other part of a pair of eyeglasses is the frame. Actually, eyeglasses frames also have different types. Frame materials such as metal and plastic can divide those frames into main categories. And in a further step, there can be several variations within each main category. Eyeglasses frames can also be grouped depending on structural differences. For instance, there are frames with integrated nose pads and the others with flexible or adjustable nose pads.

Those are not all the ways to classify eyeglass frames. People with certain experience of choosing eyeglasses would know that there are different eyeglass frame shapes. But most of them may have only known the obvious differences between large frames and those small ones. In some cases, more experienced eyeglass users may have heard of eyeglasses frames shapes such as round and rectangular. In fact, the shapes of eyeglass frames are designed according to basic face shapes of human beings. In general, there are mainly six types of face shapes, namely, round, oval, oblong, square, base-down triangle and base-up triangle. Face shapes of most individuals can be fitted into one of these basic six types. In fact, these basic face shapes are listed by many online eyewear stores. They provide model images for customers to try on their favorite eyeglasses virtually.

Choosing eyeglasses frames should necessarily take personal face shape into account. A complementary pair of eyeglasses will enhance the natural beauty of the wear's face. In an opposite case, disappointing effects may occur. Round and oval faces usually have few angles, so that a rectangular shaped frame is preferable. People with either round or oval face shape are encouraged to wear eyeglasses that can make their faces thinner and longer. Dissimilarly, oblong and square faces will comply with round-like eyeglass frames. Those obvious face angles should never be enhanced. The last two face shapes including base-down and base-up triangles also require specific frames. In general, base-down faces need a frame adding width to the upper face, and base-up faces require frames wider at the bottom.

Golf Sunglasses: For an Eagle Vision and a Perfect Putt

Before Tiger Woods came to the attention of sports audiences, golf was primarily known as a game among the rich. The sport was more associated with middle aged men than young, glamorous players like Woods and Michelle Wie. But now, not only is golf a game for the young, it is also something that people follow in television like soccer, tennis, basketball and baseball. The emergence of young professional players has made the game a mainstream sport. With the popularity of the sport comes a bevy of sponsors that market products from clothing to supplies to golf sunglasses. Golf is a game as marketable as the next sport with its players as its most effective advertisers.

Golf sunglasses are a necessity among players since the game is played in an open field where the sun shines directly on the players and the brightness of its light is further enhanced by the greens. As much as a necessity, sunglasses worn by golfers are also a fashionable accessory, with ordinary consumers' purchase decisions likely to be influenced by what the golfers are wearing. Brands of golfers' sunglasses like Bolle, Rudy Project, Oakley, Adidas and Nike have come up with various models designed to protect players from the harmful rays of the sun and at the same time make them look cool for the television cameras.

In purchasing golfing eyewear, a buyer needs to look for a brand that has the ability to block both UVB and UVA light. A pair of sunglasses with higher nanometer rating is a better option since it would be much effective at blocking the sun's ultraviolet light. Ability to enhance contrast and higher depth perception properties are also a must. In this regard, sunglasses with yellow lenses are the most highly recommended for the golf course. Yellow-lensed sunglasses are known for effectively enhancing the differences in the surface and the grain and can help players determine variations in slope and terrain.

Another important feature that golfers' sunglasses should have is a 180-degree vision. Some current models have this feature which allows players to view the line of putt through the lens without having to lift his or her head. Sunglasses with such vision are also known as wrap lenses or swept back lenses. Rimless sunglasses are also common among golfers since rimless eyepieces allow them to look down at the ball without being distracted by the sight of the glasses' rim.

Golf sunglasses can cost between $30 and $300 depending on the brand and the features. Regardless of the price, what every golfer should remember is to choose a pair with the highest capability to protect the eyes from the UV rays of the sun. It would also be great if the pair comes with a trendy design and an attention-grabbing look.

Retro Look in Designer Sunglasses

There are many things to look forward to when you are buying prescription eyewear or sunglasses. You need to assess the level of UV protection you want and how much of it you can afford to buy. The other things to look for are comfort, durability, and some specific needs that you may have. However, one of the most common things that most people look for is style and fashion.

Fashion keeps changing with the times. In fact, old fashions become trendy after a few decades. We have seen fashions that are reminiscent of the past coming back in style in recent times. Old fashions and styles are fast returning in eyewear as well.

The look that was considered fashionable in the 1920s through to the 1970s is back in fashion now, and so are the colors and styles. Here is something that you may want to know as far as what is in this year for eyewear is concerned:

• Look for eyeglasses that give a professional look, such as the librarian look of yesteryear. This year, you will see many people around you wearing horn rimmed glasses. Not only do such frames give a professional look to the wearer, but they also look sexy and alluring if you carry them off well.



• Expect to find more bright colors on the shelves than ever before. The metallic look is out. Even the traditional metal frames for rimless eyewear are now being made in bright colors like green and red. Some of the biggest names in fashion designing are even creating mix and match designs using bright colors like purple with metallic hues.



• The latest craze is UV protection, and even non-branded suppliers are now offering UV protection. This is actually a good trend. Regardless of whether you wear prescription glasses or stylish sunglasses, you need to protect your eyes from the harmful ultra violet rays of the sun. Taking the protection factor to the next level, you may also want to check out on polarized lenses. These lenses protect your eyes from the sunlight reflected from wet and reflective surfaces.



• The craze of last year, i.e. the wrap around lenses, is still fashionable. Wrap around styles in eyewear are actually more than a style- they also make a statement that you have arrived. Wrap around eyewear is also extremely useful if you are playing a game out in the sun. These will last for a long time.



• For men, the movie look of the 1950s is in. Large black and brown frames with dark lenses are back in fashion.

The bottom line is that retro fashion is coming back with a vengeance, and designers have tried hard to make changes while still retaining the trendy look. After all, that is what designing is all about.
The best part is that even though the retro look is in, proper attention is given to advances in eye protection. Choose the look that you love, but regardless of whether it is prescription glasses or sunglasses, make sure that the eyewear you buy incorporates UV protection.

thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Glasses (eyeglasses, spectacles, specs) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes for vision correction or eye protection. Safety glasses are a kind of eye protection against flying debris or against visible and near visible light or radiation. Sunglasses allow better vision in bright daylight, and may protect against damage from high levels of ultraviolet light. Other types of glasses may be used for viewing visual information (such as stereoscopy) or simply just for aesthetic or fashion values. Historical types of glasses include the pince-nez, monocle, lorgnette, and scissor or scissors-glasses. Modern glasses are typically supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and by temple arms (sides) placed over the ears. CR-39 lenses are the most common plastic lenses due to their low weight, high scratch resistance, low dispersion, and low transparency to ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are the lightest and most shatter-resistant, making them the best for impact protection. Glasses can be a major part of personal image and expression, from Groucho Marx and Buddy Holly to the extravagance of Elton John and Dame Edna Everage.

Being stylish is the most prominent feature on these eye wear which can always make wearers attractive to look at.

All the stylish eye glasses in the market can be made from different materials according to wearers' personal demands. Plastic, metal, glasses and so on are some of the earliest but also most widely used materials to make stylish eye wear. However, these ordinary materials are also upgraded and improved on and on.

Vision is one of the crucial senses. We need it every waking hour. As technology and science have advanced, they have placed more burden on our eyes. A few thousand years ago, all you needed was good distance vision so you could spot the lion before it pounced on you. With the invention of writing, there was an increased need to see near. Gradually, television and computers forced our eyes to see intermediate distances for prolonged time. The advent of black berries and smart phones have placed a lot of stress on our eyes.

If you feel you have blurry vision the first step is to see if it involves on one or both eyes. The simplest way to find this out is by covering one eye at a time and looking at an object 20 feet away. Than repeat the procedure with a book or newspaper at 33 cm.

Next see if blinking makes the blurriness go away. If this happens the blurriness is likely from dry eyes. You can do daily eye washes and use artificial tears to help with the condition.

If the blurriness persists than you may be suffering from cataracts, glaucoma or retinal problems. Cataract causes glares, difficulty in reading and bleaching of colors. Glaucoma may be associated with eye pain or headaches. You may not be able to see in the periphery. With macular degeneration the central vision is affected; you may see dark circle in front of your eyes. If you feel you have any of these, you should contact an eye doctor immediately. Medical insurances will usually cover exams for these conditions.

Easy Ways To Help Improve Your Eyesight and Protect Your Eyes

Our sight is one of our most important and precious senses. In order to keep and even improve our sight, we need to take care of and protect our eyes. Here are some tips to help improve and protect your eyesight for many years to come.

Physical Protection Of The Eyes

When you're outdoors, it's especially important to wear sunglasses. UV rays from the sun as well as harsh glare can do a number on your eyes. Protect your eyes whenever you're outside with a good pair of sunglasses that have strong UV protection.

Supplements For The Eyes

Supplements including vitamins and minerals are extremely important to the health of your eyes. Most people simply don't get the amount of vegetables and fruits that they need in order to get the nutrients that are most important to the health of their eyes. Important supplements for your eyes include Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, as well as Lutein and Zeaxanthin. Zinc and Selenium are minerals important to the eyes. Herbs that are excellent for the eyes include Bilberry and Ginkgo Biloba. Another important supplement for the eyes is essential fatty acids. Consider a supplement of EFA or fish oil or a flaxseed oil supplement. Flaxseed oil, in particular, is excellent for people with dry eye problems.

Environmental Protection For The Eyes

Allergies are a common problem and can make our eyes itchy, watery or irritated. It's important to protect our eyes from the ravages of poor air and pollution. There aren't many ways to fight the way the air affects our eyes if we live in a big city or an area that has polluted or pollen filled air, but we can do something to improve the air inside of our homes. You can purchase an air filter system that will continually clean the air of harmful dust, mold and particles. This will help improve allergies and therefore protect the eyes from the irritation that allergies bring.

Exercises For Your Eyes

Not many people know that exercising your eyes can help maintain and even improve your eyesight and overall health of your eyes. It's quite unhealthy to look at a computer screen all day without giving your eyes a break. At the very least, take short breaks to look away from your screen and focus on something that is far away, then look back at your screen and focus again at something that is a little close but still farther away than your screen. Do this once an hour to help reduce eye strain and eye fatigue. Try blinking more often, blinking lubricates, soothes and cleans the eyes. In addition, you can actually improve your eyesight by doing specific eye exercises. Try placing a finger in front of your face about 6 inches from your nose. Stare at that finger for 5 seconds and then try looking at an object in the distance. Continue back and forth for about a minute. This exercise helps improve your focus.

What is a Cataract?

First let me explain what a cataract is not. A cataract is not a growth in the sense that most people understand it. It does not get ripe. The ophthalmologist is not going to decide you should have surgery without some input from you. We can't predict 100% what your vision is by simply looking at your cataract.

Some look pretty bad but the patient actually has good vision. On the other hand, some cataracts look like they really should not be causing problems when in fact the vision is bad. Assuming you have healthy eyes and were not born with a congenital defect or have not had serious eye injuries, it is simply the lens in your eye that you were born with.

The natural lens is made up of tissue basically similar to hair and skin. Just as your hair and skin ages and turns gray or wrinkles, your lens changes with age. The change is a discoloration or opacity that causes the lens to get cloudier and more difficult to see through. It is not a growth but rather a natural change in the material that makes up the lens. Just as with hair or skin, this can occur at different ages in different people. Some young people can have cataracts, just like some people prematurely gray.

When is it time to remove your cataract? It needs to be removed when you feel it is affecting your vision and lifestyle and glasses cannot make you see well. It is not "ready" just because it is "ripe" or some doctor says it is ready. If someone tells you to have surgery and you don't feel your vision is that bad, it won't hurt to get a second opinion.

In future articles, I will talk about the surgery for them. You can also go to my website and find more information about cataracts and your eyes.

How to Cure Myopia and Hyperopia Naturally? Here is Something That You Don't Want to Miss!

The two most common eye ailments are Myopia and Presbyopia also known as near and far sightedness respectively. Both the ailments can be cured naturally. Most of the eye ailments are a result of bad habits and excessive strain on the eyes.

Myopia is caused due to elongation of the eye balls. Looking at objects close up for long periods of time can cause Myopia.

Myopia is also caused due to pressure, strain, anxiety and frustration. Myopia is most common in teenagers and children.
Myopia is a result of anxiety or nervousness. In this case, the person is scared to come out of their comfort zone. They feel safe in the current position and want to live in that position itself.

Near-Sightedness is mainly caused due to mental strain. It is a purely psychological issue.

Far Sightedness/Presbyopia is caused due to hardening of the lens. It happens to people who are in their 40's. The muscles of the eye can be trained to force the lenses to contract even when the lens hardens. But when we wear glasses, we make our eyes lazy.

Far Sightedness is mainly caused due to excessive tension, lack of exercise and poor planning. Headaches are associated with it. Far Sightedness can be reduced by doing exercises and planning things for the next day well in advance.

Rest and exercise are very much necessary to treat both the eye ailments. Rest relaxes the eyes while exercise promotes blood circulation.

Both of these ailments can be cured by doing exercises and making a few lifestyle changes. No matter how worse your power is, you can improve your vision with exercises.
