In fact, there are other choices for lenses. An anti-reflective layer for protection is available so that the effects of incoming light can be minimized. If you are near-sighted and have to wear thick glasses, there is the option of having the lenses made thinner so that they are lighter and look smarter. Another choice is to use flexible progressive lenses, the tint of which darkens when exposed to sunlight. These are suitable for those who spend most of their time outdoors.What about the shape of glasses?
Like a dress, the shape of the glasses is a reflection of personality. The shape of the frames, the glass and the choice of color highly reflect your real personality. Glass frames in a bright, attention-grabbing color, for example, reflects a strong personality and confidence.
There are various models and variations of frames and lenses that give the widest opportunity for the wearer to appear more stylish. You are free to choose any of various shapes of frames: broad, square, oval, etc. Colors also vary, ranging from neutral colors like black, brown and blue to bright colors like red and green.
A woman who needs to wear prescription glasses should not worry too much about her appearance. There are several tricks a woman can use to allow her to appear charming in her glasses, without having to resort to contact lenses. The right glasses and makeup can make the eyes look more beautiful and expressive.
But don’t forget to pay attention to the shape of your face. Any shape of frames suit an oval face, for example. Flat frames better suit an angular face, whereas square frames make a round face look longer. “There is no hard-and-fast rule about which shape of glasses suit a particular shape of a face. In general, if your face is angular, get oval glasses and vice versa,” Rudhy B of Optik Seis advised. (Burhan Abe)
