Being told you have to wear prescription glasses can be a blow you aren’t expecting. No one wants to be forced to wear specs on a daily basis. It hides facial features, it can make choosing an outfit difficult and when choosing a hairstyle it can really become an overwhelming decision, especially for women.
The good news is that these days’ specs aren’t ugly, bulky and unappealing, there is a wide range to choose from in various materials, sizes and shapes to blend in with any skin colour, facial feature and hair colour. Designer prescription glasses are made by leading brands to the highest quality to meet all customer’s needs and expectations.
The first and most important thing when looking for designer prescription glasses within your budget is to shop around. You can visit opticians in your area and you can also shop online. A large number of opticians are now offering online specs, which do require a valid prescription which is less than two years old.
The best recommendation when looking for specs is to have an eye test. You don’t want to spend money on specs and they find out a few weeks or a month or two later that your eyes need testing again. Rather have them tested as soon as you want to buy new specs, ensuring that when your new specs arrive they are fulfilled based on your latest prescription.
Choosing your frames can be a little harder. You may have an exact idea in mind of what you are looking for, but it’s always a good idea to try on as many frames as you can within your price range. Often you will find you are surprised by the frames that suit you. Remember not all frames will suit your facial shape and colouring, you may find the dark plastic rectangular frames you had your heart set on don’t suit you at all, but a pair of lighter frames are the perfect match.
If you intend buying frames at your local optician store after your eye test, take someone with you. It’s always best to get that second opinion on the frames that will suit you before making any final decisions. If you’re buying online, then you can go through the range available and share some pics with friends to get the best match, though always find a store where you can try them on first.
Always compare prices of designer prescription glasses at the store you want to buy and at other stores. Sometimes you will find that some stores are slightly cheaper than others, but provide the identical frames you really like. Remember to set yourself a budget, because it’s very easy to add different lenses, coatings and more and soon your bill will be more than expected.
Ask the staff what comes with your new prescription designer glasses, do they come with scratch resistant coatings? Do they have UV protection? Do they come with case and cloth? These are all important questions you should have answers to, it will also help you determine what extras you may need before making a decision.
The final factor that will help you make your decision when choosing designer prescription glasses is how long it will take before they are ready. The higher end optician stores will have their own dedicated team of opticians that can fulfil prescriptions within a short period of time, while others send away which can take longer. If you’re ordering online, the same applies, see how long it will take before the designer prescription glasses are delivered at your door.
