Three Steps to Picking the Right Pair of Eyeglasses 

Our sense of sight is a very important tool that we use to assess or size up our surroundings. If you have a 20/20 vision, you can evaluate a certain tangible stressor without being too close to it, protecting yourself in the process. Because of this, it is very important that we take care of our eyes.

However, no matter how much care we put in, sometimes the fate of our vision just goes out of our control. You see, genetic factors can sometimes affect how clearly we see and for how long that clarity lasts. The bad thing is that there’s not much that we can do to alter such factors.

If you are one of those who are afflicted with vision problems early, don’t worry so much. There are still things that you can do to correct your vision and look cool while doing it. One of such things is to buy the eyeglasses that suit you best. How do you make sure that you buy the right pair of eyeglasses for you? Read on to find out.

Take an eye test.

At the very foundation of everything, you really have to understand that eyeglasses are like dentures: they are unique for each person. You cannot wear your mother’s glasses and still see as much as you can with yours. Because of this, there is a need for you to really undergo a thorough eye test before you buy so that you can get the right eye prescription. Do not ever be tempted to buy ‘over-the-counter’ glasses; they might bring more harm than good to you.

An eye test is not at all complex. You will just be brought inside a room and asked to read aloud letters on an eye chart. You are positioned at a controlled distance. We will not discuss the details of this test here because they are best discussed with an eye professional near you.

Be mindful of the color of the frame.

You wear your eyeglasses every day, so it’s just right that its color matches your overall styling. Many people go for black frames because black is a neutral shade that goes very well with every hue in the color wheel. But you can always go bold and go for more expressive colors. Many stylish individuals go for their favorite colors.

Don’t think that any shape will do.

Just like anything that you wear, your eyeglasses must be shaped in such a way that it complements the shape of the face. Many people think that those with oval faces are the luckiest because almost any shape suits them. They can go for rectangles, ovals, and even horns. But to call them lucky is too much. Because everything is OK, they have a lot on their plates to choose from. And picking the right one can be such a hassle. Talk about the tyranny of choice!

People with square faces– or those who have very prominent jawlines– can go for round or oval frames. These shapes soften and add that much needed contrast to their naturally angular features. On the contrary, those with rounded faces can get the most benefits from frames that are angular. These shapes add a little edginess to their rather soft features.

Choosing the right pair of glasses is not really difficult. You just need the proper guidance, and that is precisely what this article aims to give.
