How to Choose Glasses: Don't Choose Glasses Until You Read This!

How many times have you lost your glasses and had to manage without them?

Suddenly the world becomes blurry, you see vague blobs instead of faces, and even reading a WhatsApp message becomes an almost impossible task.

In moments like these, we realize just how important and critical glasses are in our lives.

Our glasses aren't just a fashion accessory, but also a basic tool that allows us to function and enjoy life.

So how do you choose glasses that will fit you perfectly?

Here are some tips and recommendations for choosing the right frame for you:

Determine your face shape

The most important step in choosing prescription glasses is to select a frame that will flatter your face.

What can help especially is determining in advance what your face shape is, which can be determined in several ways such as: measuring the face, looking in a mirror, using apps, or consulting professionals.

First and foremost, see well

If you have a complex prescription, you might need to choose frames that can accommodate special lenses.

In such cases, it's important to consult with an optometrist about the option that will best suit you.

Your style, your frame

Prescription glasses are a fashion accessory in every sense, so it's important to choose a pair that matches your style, whether it's a more classic and clean look with a simple frame, or a bold look with a colorful frame featuring special patterns.

The more your prescription glasses match your personal style, the better you'll feel about yourself.

Try different frames

A good way to choose your prescription glasses is to experiment with different frames.

Visit an optical store and don't be shy about measuring and trying different and varied styles of frames, until you find the frame you like best.

Feel like you don't have direction? Ask for help from the salesperson and you'll have a good starting point.

Sun protection

If you're interested in prescription glasses that are also sunglasses, you need to ensure that the lens coatings block 100% of UV-A and UV-B rays.

It's important to know that darker lenses don't always indicate better UV protection!

Small but no less important tips

• Take someone with you when you go "shopping" at the glasses store. Another person can give you real feedback and help you choose flattering glasses.

• Before buying, it's advisable to ask about warranty. Most prescription glasses come with a one-year warranty on frames and lenses.

• Try the glasses in different lighting conditions - both indoors and outdoors. A frame that looks great in the store might look different in daylight.
