Prescription eyeglasses used to be a necessary evil. You needed them to see, and that was all there was to it. Now, glasses not only provide clear, crisp vision, but they’re great accessories, too.
Eyeglass frames used to be heavy and old-fashioned, and their style and functionality were limited by the materials available. Advances in modern technology have contributed to improvements in styles and durability. Today’s glasses are made of modern materials like high-impact plastics and anti-corrosive metals, and they’re stylish and lightweight. Lenses are no longer thick and cumbersome; they’re thin and refined. Hinges are not stiff and bulky, but flexible and streamlined.
Just because you need corrective lenses, you don’t have to scrimp on style. Choose frames from top designers or frames with global influences. They range from large and chunky, to compact and understated. Some are handmade and available in a wide variety of color combinations and patterns. Choose bright red with black accents, or a traditional tortoise. Metal frames are featherweight and comfortable. Added features like high-tech hinges ensure that your glasses will fit well every time you put them on. Adjustable nose pads and temple tips help provide a custom fit. No more stretched out, loose glasses that slip down your nose. Lenses are thin, resist scratches and protect against 100% of UV rays. Say goodbye to thick, glass lenses that can be easily scratched, and that won’t protect your eyes and delicate surrounding skin from the sun’s damaging rays.
Prescription lenses are available in tinted versions, so your favorite eyeglasses can be your favorite sunglasses as well. If you choose polarized lenses, you’ll enjoy reduced glare from the sun, water and snow. You won’t have to forgo sunglasses just because you need to wear eyeglasses.
With the wide array of choices available, you’re not limited to just one pair. You can choose frames for work and frames for play. Pick frames to complement an outgoing personality, and understated frames that are perfect for a quieter disposition. Choose a brightly colored pair of glasses, or choose a classic color. Pick a bold shape, and a simple silhouette. Look buttoned up and ready to work, or look laid back and fun. Whatever you choose, these frames will last as long as you need them to. Should your vision change, you can have your favorite frames fitted with new lenses.
If you have to wear prescription eyeglasses, you may as well look great doing it.
