It’s all about your glasses. Not only will they help you see and protect your eyes, they’ll also let you show off your great sense of style. You can show the world your personality just from finding the perfect pair of glasses or sunglasses to match your face. The right glasses can make or break one’s appearance. They can take a boring outfit and pull it all together into something that rock.
In order to achieve this rock star status from finding a great pair of glasses, you need to identify and decide what you personally need from a pair of glasses. You need function but try not to forget about fashion in the mix. There are so many different styles that it makes it pretty confusing to find the right pair. To help you narrow down the choices, here is some information to help you find the right glasses or sunglass to fit your style and face best.
Glasses
- You’ll want to make a decision on the material of the frame. Aluminum and titanium frames are the most popular since they are durable and offer several custom fitting options. Light and resilient plastic frames are also popular but they can’t be shaped for a custom fit cine they cannot be bent.
- Think about the overall weight of the frames. The last think you want is uncomfortable glasses. Large lenses and thick frames can make for some heavy and glasses, something most people find awkward. If you do require thick lenses, buy glasses with small diameter lenses.
- Know what’s involved with making the lens. Lenses made from glass resist scratching the best but are heavier and shatter easier. While lenses made from polycarbonate tend to be lighter but are more susceptible to scratching. Some of the more common options for lenses are anti-reflective coating reducing glare, enhanced thinness to make them weight lighter, or photo-reactive tinting which causes the lens to gets darker in bright light.
- Metal frames withstand vigorous bending without damage the best. If you’re involved with sports, order a separate set of specialized sports glasses that come with an impact-resistant frame and lenses secured with a strap.
Sunglasses
- When shopping for new sunglasses, it isn’t a bad idea to read the label to be sure the pair you choose offers 100 percent UV protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Most are labeled as UV400, which means they are.
- There is no reason why you shouldn’t own more than one pair of sunglasses. Own as many as you want. For starters, you’ll have a pair to match your clothes for the day. Make one pair your driving sunglasses and leave them in the car at all times. Have a pair for fishing to reduce the glare from the sun reflecting off the water.
- The type of lens you should buy is dependent on what you will be using the sunglasses for. If you will be wearing them during physical activities, get a pair made from shatter-resistant polycarbonate. Polarized sunglasses used around water should be glare resistant to protect your eyes from strong reflected rays. Glass lenses are used more often for sunglasses that aim for looks and style over function.
- Be sure to choose the color of lens carefully. Dark lenses work best for people with sensitive eyes. Colors like gray or gray-green are fine for general use. Brown sunglasses are best when it comes to daytime driving. If you have difficulty with perception in low-light conditions, try for a pair in yellow or amber.
