Before
you buy a eyeglasses, here tips to get
a good one:
1. Decide on a frame. Do you want a flexible wire frame?
Or maybe a more sophisticated plastic frame? Titanium?
Gunmetal? Choose according to what you will use the glasses
most for. For sports, choose flexible wire rims, for normal
use, choose the others.
2. Choose the shape. Generally, people with oval faces
should lean more towards rectangular glasses. People with
more a square face should go for the oval or circular
glasses.

3. Consider your
eyelash length. Long eyelashes can brush against the lenses,
which will be extremely uncomfortable.
4. Try on many different shapes
and styles and colors. If you don't find any you like, go look
elsewhere; you're going to be wearing these a lot, so be sure
you're happy with them, even if it costs a little more.
5. Always have a mirror and a peer (whose fashion taste you
trust and agree with) when choosing eyeglasses. This way, you
and your peer can tell if they look "right."
6. For those with thicker lenses, consider a high index lens.
This will reduce the thickness in the center if you're far-sighted
and on the edge if you're nearsighted. A plastic frame will
hide more of your lenses than a wire rim. Also look into getting
the edges polished, which can help disguise the thickness. You
can usually request to have polycarbonate lenses made with 1.0
mm thick centers (nearsighted people only) which will also reduce
the thickness. You can only have this with polycarbonate. |
