Reading Glasses From Your Point of View - Half Or Full Frame?
Have you found it difficult to read or perform any tasks on close by objects unless of course you hold them at an arms length? Have you been thinking of going to the eye doctor but not yet done so for reasons which you think, are very good? One, well, you do not really read that much or write that much. Second, maybe you think it is embarrassing to wear reading glasses. Or you could be thinking, I read and write so much, having reading glasses on all the time will make it so difficult every time I have to see something in the distance. Well, welcome to the modern world of eyeglasses where functionality meets style.
Full Frames:
If you do need reading glasses and you do a lot of work on close by objects like reading or writing or working on a computer, you might want to consider full frame reading glasses. These eyeglasses will give a much wider viewing area than other glasses so working with them is easy. Perfect for those who are constantly into close-up work, these frames and lenses allow a real wide range of magnified vision.
You can find many styles to choose from slim frames for an elegant look or chunky frames for a bold look. You could even try rimless frames. There are very traditional looking, round frames or narrow angular frames. There is also an amazing variety of colors to choose from; elegant black to modern tortoise. You could of course try something new and go for a dash of bright green or purple. Some of the styles for full frames says it all; Bada Bing, Clark Kent, Geek or Depth Charger.
Half-Frames:
If you really do not spend that much time in close-up work then wearing reading glasses for just a few minutes of work may seem like a real nuisance. However, half-frames give you just the solution you needed. These half-frames, which are actually just half of the frame, allow you to see through the lower part of the eyeglass. These are worn lower down on the nose and anytime you need to glance into the distance, just look up and over the frame. Everything appears clear and there is no blurring.
Half-frames come in as many varieties and colors as the full frames. Styles as conventional as horn rims or cat-eyes and styles as modern as rimless frames. In fact, new reading glasses are of the kind that you can just fold them and slip them into your purse or briefcase or just your pocket.
Whether you pick up full frames or half frames, the common feature will be that they are all made of extremely high quality, very lightweight metals and zyls. The temples have spring hinges to withstand years of wear and tear and most of the lenses that come with these eyeglasses are completely scratch resistant and shatterproof.
So whatever your choice of frames may be you can be sure that you can now work in peace, functionality and style.

Tips on Finding the Most Suitable Eyeglasses Frames For You
Frame is a very important factor to determine whether the eyeglasses are fashionable, gorgeous and high-quality. The color, shape and embellishments are all part of a stylish frame. In this case, designer eyeglasses must have incomparable advantages over the ordinary ones. But when we go to purchase a pair of designer eyeglasses, we may find they all look fabulous in the shop window, however, they actually do not look fabulous on your face.
Therefore, it is most significant to get the satisfying designer eyeglasses. Three tips on choosing suitable eyeglasses are introduced below.
Firstly, you should know your face shape well. You can look into the mirror by pulling back your hair to assess your face shape. If you are not very sure about that, you can draw your face in the mirror or you can draw the outline of your face according your non-distorted photo. In that way, you can have a general idea of your face outline, round, square or heart-shaped? Then you can decide on what kind of frame shape fits your face shape well. If your face is round, square and rectangular glasses are both right choices, which can offset the curve of your face and make it seem not that round. If your face is heart-shaped, which means you have a wider forehead and a narrower chin, the frame that has a narrow top and wide bottom is strongly recommended. However, this kind of style is not easy to find, so you can refer to the rimless eyeglasses or the shape that has a round top and square bottom. If your face is oval, almost any shape of eyeglasses looks fine on you. So enjoy different shapes and different colors on you, even you can try the extravagant designer eyeglasses. It is likely to have stunning effects. In one word, the frame shape being opposite to your face shape may be more attractive.
Secondly, you come to consider the size of your eyeglasses. It still depends on your face size. If your face is small, just try the small frame. If your face is large, please do not even try the small one, for small frame may put people's attention on your large face, which means eyeglasses emphasize the drawback of your face. Please remember one sentence that the size of your eyeglasses should complement the size of your face considering to be balanced and harmonious.
Finally, you come to the color of your eyeglasses. Learn it by heart that your frame color is decided by your skin color. If you have warm skin tone, you'd better choose the warm tone. If you have cool skin tone, you'd better choose the cool tone.
The temperament of a person is often extruded by some tiny decorations, such as neckerchief, necklace, earring, eyeglasses and so on. So it is very necessary to own a pair of suitable eyeglasses to make you to be charming. Following the general three tips, you can at least get a pair of good-looking eyeglasses. However, if you are brave enough to try some extraordinary, bold or unique designer eyeglasses, you may find another charming aspect on yourself.

But the most reputable ones are mainly owned by American and European companies. Even if these companies have opened international branches in developing countries such as China and India, the key brands are kept stably. Over the past decades, European companies are the major role in the international market of eyeglasses. There are some eyeglasses giants headquartered in European countries. Not all European eyeglass frames fall into the category of "boring and safety". There are still some glasses tend to be elegant and high-quality. In general, European eyeglass frames are usually elegant, well constructed and classy. There are nowadays many customers who choose to wear European eyeglasses to make an eyewear statement.

Sunglasses to Flatter Your Face
Do you find yourself drooling over the new line of sunglasses from Dior? Or does your taste run more to the funky brands you see at your local discount store? Regardless of where you shop for your shades, you're probably looking not only for eyewear to protect your eyes, but eyewear that will enhance your facial features and let the world know about your fashion sense. Finding sunglasses with a face-flattering frame is a true joy!
The Vision Council of America has come up with the following three suggestions to help you choose the most appealing frames
*The shape of your frames should contrast with the shape of your face
*The size of your frames should be proportionate to the size of your face
*Your sunglasses should draw attention to your best facial feature (if you have blue eyes, think about getting blue framed glasses)
Everyone's face, of course, is made up of many different angles and shapes so finding a pair of sunglasses which contrasts with all of them is simply not possible. You will have to determine which of the eight basic shapes is closest to your face before choosing yourself a pair. One way to do this is to pull back your hair, look into a mirror, and use lipstick, washable eye pencil, or so to drawn outline of your face which of the eight basic shapes (oval, circle, rectangle, heart, diamond, triangle, oblong, or square) matches it most closely? If you're still not sure, ask one of your friends.
Oval-shaped Face
Because of its extremely balanced proportions, the oval face is considered "ideal." Its almost perfect alignment means that any style of frame will be flattering. Proportion, however, still matters so small framed pairs work best on small oval faces and larger frames on larger basis. You should still make a choice according to your personal style, and if you want to add a bit of contrast go with angular frames instead of round ones.
Round Face
Their circular shapes with similar lengths and widths mean that round faces have few angles. Choosing sunglasses with rectangular frames will therefore add a pleasant egg of a contrast to the spaces. You want frames that are wider than they are deep, while being no wider than your face is at its widest point. Dark frames will minimize your face's roundness, while frames with embellished corners will call attention to it, making it appear even wider!
Oblong-Shaped Face
Longer than they are wide, oblong faces have long above-the-cheek lines. Choose sunglasses with frames which shorten the face. Square frames are better than rectangular ones. If you choose a rectangular frame, make sure it has an exaggerated length instead of an exaggerated web. If you're trying to compensate for a long nose, choose frames with a lower bridge.
Diamond-Shaped Face
The most unusual of all places, the diamond-shaped face can be the most stunning with its narrow chin and forehead anti-sculpted cheekbones. Diamond faces have narrow foreheads and chins with high, dramatic cheekbones. Luckily for you, having a diamond-shaped face means you'll look great in square, oval, or even rimless frames. You can also get away with glasses that have distinctive brow-lines.
Square-Shaped Face
You have a strongly angled sharp jawline and wide forehead with a face that has similar length and width. In order to narrow and lengthen your face, you should look for narrow-framed sunglasses which are wider than they are deep. You can also soften those angles by contrasting them with narrow oval frames. Choosing delicate frames can give you a softer look.
Rectangle-Shaped Face
Like the square face, the rectangular face is very angular, but unlike the square face, its length exceeds its width. Using a curved frame will soften the angles of the rectangular face, and frames like those of aviator sunglasses, with top to bottom depth will shorten it. You can also experiment with a wider, rounder frame.
Triangle-Shaped Face
The wide cheekbones and narrow forehead of the triangular face mean that you should choose sunglasses that draw eyes of others to its upper portion. These would be wider frames, or those which have adorned top pieces. Cat-eye frames are especially attractive on the triangular face, as are those with rimless lower edges.
Heart-Shaped Face
The heart-shaped face has a narrow chin and a wide forehead, so sunglasses with heavy dark-colored frames will only exaggerate the width of the forehead. A much better choice is either light or rimless frames in a narrow rectangular or oval-shaped. You can also try slightly curved wraparound sunglasses to lessen the appearance of your facial curves.
Regardless of its shape, the size of your face also determines which sort of frame you should be choosing. A large face will look smaller with large sunglasses as a small face will look larger with large sunglasses. You should also choose a frame which is narrower.
Finally, think carefully when choosing the color of your sunglasses. Cool skin tones are flattered by cool colored sunglasses like paying, blue, lavender, and black. If you have warm skin tones, you'll be stunning in warmer shades like gold, orange, red, warm white, and copper. You can even, if you dare, go with bright red!
Luckily for you, there are literally thousands of different sunglasses with frames and colors to suit every face shape in skin tone. They're sold everywhere from huge discount rate at retail stores to local drugstores to design your sunglass boutiques. They cover designers including; Dior, Lacoste, Gucci, Fendi, Armani, Chanel, and Hugo Boss, among many others.
Whether you're choosing sunglasses to set off that knockout new outfit, or just looking for a pair to protect your eyes when you're relaxing in the sunshine or playing a game of ball with your kids out of doors, by following our suggestions you can be sure that the sunglasses you choose will be both fun and flattering!
