How to Select Eye Glass Frames That Fit You Most?
Nowadays, we can find some fashionable elements in eyeglasses and some of us deem those glasses as accessories. However, only few of us have noticed that the main glamour of glasses lies in their frames. None of us can deny the fact that eye glass frames mould our personal images, though sometimes lenses matter a little. In some sense, eye glass frames are the decisive parts of glasses. Therefore, the selecting of those frames plays a decisive role in searching of good eyeglasses. Nevertheless, this process is so complicated that most of us always make mistakes. Here are some particular tips that may be helpful for most of us to get our just right frames and glasses.
In fact, while selecting good eye glass frames, we should pay attention to the following aspects, namely, shape, color, material and fashion, or to be simple, contrast. It seems that the four phrases are too abstract and you may not understand completely. Let’s see.
The phrase “shape” refers to the shapes of faces and frames. This requires a contrast between faces and eye glass frames. We should stick to one principle that the shapes of our faces should not be similar with the glass frames, but contrasted. For example, one of us has round face, he should not select round but rectangle frame because a round frame will make his face seemed much rounder. On the contrary, a rectangle frame can make his face seemed less round. In other cases, the shape of the eye glass frames should depend on that of faces. In a word, it is not a good idea to choose frames of the same shape as faces.
“Color” refers the colors of eye glass frames and our faces, hair, etc. This means that we should also consider the factor, color, while selecting. It is essential to know the color of our skins and hair. For example, some of us have very suntanned skin. Is it a good idea for them to wear eye glass frames of dark colors? Of course, the answer is negative. They are suggested to wear glasses with fair-colored frames. The color of skin matters more, though it is also very to consider the color of hair.
None of us can deny the fact that good eye glass frames are made of the best materials. Metal, plastic are the main materials of glass frames. But some other polymers and memory metal alloys are also employed. Here are three criteria to judge good material-it can not be too heavy and inconvenient to wear; it will not lead to any allergy and other related diseases; and it will not be deformed easily.
“Fashion” should also be considered. Most of us are impressed by those celebrities who wear glasses with very fashionable frames. Therefore, we should select frames of the latest fashion. Doing so can greatly enhance our personal taste and elegance.
In a word, contrast is the key point when we select eye glass frames. With those above mentioned tips, you should not miss your just right glass frames and glasses.
Doctor’s advice on size and nose sensitivity of eye glass frames
Each pair of eye glass frames has a size, for example 48-22-135. Here 48 means the length of the lenses. 22 is the number of the bridge width, and 135 represents the length of the temple of the eye glass frames. One person can fit well on one frame in this set of numbers, while this set of number may not work well on other pairs of eye glass frames, as they may differ in shape and style. Patients better go to optical stores to try on eye glass frames or use the virtual try-on offered by some online retailers.
Some patients may turn to be allergic to the silicone on the nose pads on the eye glass frames. Eye doctor suggests use vinyl nose pad instead. In most of the cases, this nose sensitivity is also related to the uneven pressure allocation. So the adjustments of eye glass frames by some store professionals will be necessary. By adjusting the temples of the eye glass frames, especially by adjusting the ear-hooking part, the pressure of the nose pads on the nose can be reduced, therefore decreasing the possibility of silicone sensitivity for some patients.
