If you are wearing prescription eye glasses, you must keep in mind the following considerations before you buy one and make it a part of your face:
Should your eyeglass frames merge into and with your skin color, or should they make a pronounced statement of their existence on your nose-bridge?
Both options carry equal weight, in fact.
So, either try to match your eyeglass frames with the color of your skin as much as possible, or just go the other way round.
Make the two a total contrast to each other!
It will look good.
Frame Material:
Plastic: The choice is between zylonite (a cellulose acetate based plastic) and propionate (a nylon based plastic). Both are lightweight and can be shaped in very trendy designs.
Metal: The choice is among stainless steel, aluminum, beryllium, monel (a mixed alloy), and titanium with all its alloys like flexon and ticral. All are quite malleable and corrosion-resistant.
Costlier Options:Gold, silver, stone-studded metals, wood and bone, leather et cetera are the other fancy materials limited only by the boundaries your imagination can fly up to!
Frame Shape, Color, Size & Style: Eyeglass frames confuse a lot when it comes to selecting one for buying and putting up on your eyes!
It's like selecting someone to be your life partner.
This one or that?
That one or this?
Which one after all?
Utterly confused!
In fact, eyeglass frames need matching your face-size, your face-cut, and your face-complexion.
The face-size must be in sync with the size of the frame.
On the contrary, the face-cut should contrast with the shape of the frame.
As for the color, matching your face-complexion with the color of the frame is an art in itself!
Color combinations have a large aesthetic variety to choose from!
At times, contrast looks better; at others, matching does.
What is the color of your eyes?
Which side of the spectrum does it fall to?
Toward bluish or toward reddish-brownish?
Or a hue of gray?
Or dark, pitch-black?
You can match the color of your eyeglass frames with the color of your eyes!
What about the color of your hair?
How about matching your eyeglass frames with the color of your hair!
It's a good idea especially if the color of your eyes and the color of your hair match too.
And your skin-complexion?
Is it dark or is it light?
Tanned, or kept away from sun?
And, what about the face-cut?
Do you like your face-cut?
If you do, you will certainly want to accentuate it with the eyeglass frames that have the same cut in them.
But if you don't, you will tend to contrast the two.
There are different kinds of face-cuts in the human species:
Square
Round
Oval
Oblong
Diamond
Base-Up Triangle
Base-Down Triangle
Choose for yourself as to which eyeglass frames are going better with which face-cut, and where does your face-cut fall among all these varieties!
As for size, there is no compromise. The two must match - the size of the face and the size of the eyeglass frames!
And yes, another factor to be kept in mind while selecting your eyeglass frames is the fashion of the day that is 'in'.
If you go for a style that is 'out', you do look the odd man (or woman!) out!
You certainly won't like to be called a nincompoop!
Frame Comfort: Your prescription eye glasses shouldn't be pressing on your nose-bridge, temples, or on your ears.
Frame Durability:Titanium, stainless steel and flexible materials, such as flexon are the most durable ones.
Designer Frames: Designer prescription eye glasses are your personal signature on your face, anyway you design them through frame material or its styling!
Specialty Frames: Specialty prescription eye glasses can be one or more features out of:
Computer Prescription Eye Glasses: Designed specifically for the distances associated with computer use including the intermediate and close-up zones
Bifocal Prescription Eye Glasses: For outdoor use
Safety Prescription Eye Glasses: For working with power tools
Sports Prescription Eye Glasses: For sporting activities
Driving Prescription Eye Glasses: With special features like polarized lenses or anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and starburst effect while driving in the sun or at night
Fashionable Prescription Eye Glasses: To match different outfits and/or moods
Frames for Kids:Durability and safety must be the prime concerns, but the fun approach that turns prescription eye glasses for kids into a kind of toy for them must not be ignored too!
High-index Lenses: are thinner because they bend light more than the conventional plastic used for prescription eye glasses. Hence they are very useful when the diopter number is extraordinarily high.
Aspheric Lenses: Apart from being high-index, aspheric lenses reduce or eliminate distortions of vision as seen through the periphery of the lens as well as lessen the magnification ( in case of convex lenses) or minification (in case of concave lenses) of the eyes in the conventional prescription eye glasses.
Multifocal Lenses: make it possible to focus through different prescriptions at different distances through the same lens in the same prescription eye glasses! Very helpful in strong cases of presbyopia!
Progressive Addition Lenses: Multifocals without lines in them, making your prescription eye glasses less conspicuous!
Lens Coatings:Anti-reflective coating (for glare), UV coating (for health-safety), scratch-resistant coating (for durability), and mirror-coating (for cosmetic effects) are available in the prescription eye glasses.
Photochromics and Tints:darken while in the sun as well as increase the cosmetic effect in the prescription eye glasses.
Polycarbonate Lenses for Eyeglasses: Highly impact-resistant as well as thinner than the regular plastic lenses in the prescription eye glasses.
Wavefront Lenses: Wavefront analysis comprises beaming light into the eye, and then mapping how light waves travel after they are reflected back from the retina analyzing higher order aberrations in the vision.
Wavefront lenses take care of correcting these higher order aberrations as well, in your prescription eye glasses.
Now, I have a totally different suggestion for you.
Why don't you consider removing your eye glasses only, and that too for good?
No, I am not talking of using contact lenses or of going for LASIK.
No, not at all!
What I am suggesting is correcting your vision instantaneously through opening your third eye!
It's not something very difficult.
Rather it's the most natural thing to the human body that we have strayed away from.
It's as easy as coming to your two's as two-legged humans from your four's as four-legged monkeys.
Only that the humans have not yet come to their two's in a scientifically right way, has given birth to all the problems of blurred vision whether nearsightedness before the age 40, or farsightedness and old age sight either before or after the age 40!
We can undo in one single second, what we have done wrong to our bodies, and see clear instantaneously!
Vision therapy does exactly that only, by training you to open your third eye through re-adjusting your body posture in the right scientific way.
And you will never need buying prescription eye glasses for you in future again!
The choice is yours!
