  Did you notice your eyesight has weakened? Many people struggle when faced with this realization and they just don?t want to admit it for various reasons. In any case, it is a weakness and people hate the idea of constantly having to wear glasses on their head and dread how they could change their appearance. However, glasses can look as cool, chic or classy as you like and they can make you look more beautiful if you choose the right frame. We are here to give you some pointers on how to find the right pair for yourself and get rid of all your fears, as well as improve your eyesight.

Up-to-date prescription

Before you go and search for a frame and someone to do your glasses, you need to visit your optometrist and get a valid prescription. You should know that a prescription is considered to be up-to-date if it is up to two years old when it comes to adults, while children need one that is at most one year old. Make sure to see this through unless you want to throw your money down the drain making glasses that won?t suit your current eyesight condition.

Pupillary distance

An important part of the eye exam is having your pupillary distance measured. This is important as the optical center of your lenses will give you the most genuine vision. In order to place it right, the eyeglasses lab needs to have information on your PD. It is usually measured in millimeters and the distance is somewhere between 54 and 68 mm. It?s possible to measure your own PD, but it?s not recommended. It?s best if a professional does it, since it?s quite an important part of the process and we don?t make new glasses every day.

Lens type

Eye conditions can vary on a very wide spectrum and you have many options to choose from when it comes to the type of lenses. You may need single vision lenses, progressive or occupational lenses. You can also choose whether you want them to be made of glass or plastic, as well as many other features. The best labs are the ones that make customized prescription glasses. This is the best way to rest assured that you?ll be getting the proper care your eyes deserve.

The right frame

Many people fear that glasses would make them look ugly. Surely, we know of such cases, but this is not the universal truth. In fact, anyone can look amazing with glasses, they just need to find the right frame that fits their facial features. One of the main factors here is the shape of your face. Heart shaped faces are complimented with round frames with a wider top than bottom, while rectangular frames are more suitable for round faces. On the other hand, round frames look amazing on square faces.

The right size

Not all of us have the same head size. This may seem funny, but as much as a frame of glasses affects our appearance, the size does, too. Too small or huge, either way, glasses that don?t fit your face will make you look ridiculous. The important thing here is not to use the size of your shades as a measurement as they should be larger than prescription glasses to give you extra protection from the sun.

Don?t cave to add-ons

You need to know that this parade is not at all a cheap one. However, there are ways to avoid extra charges. For instance, every place will offer you some fancy add-ons such as anti-reflexive coating, anti-scratch and all sorts of coats or special lens types. Of course, all these have a purpose, but it?s easy to get carried away. Keep it rational. If you really need some of those, take them, but if they only sound cool, perhaps you should pass and keep the overall price on a reasonable level as each add-on costs extra.

Proper maintenance

Once you finally get your new glasses, you?re not done yet. There?s the issue of maintenance. Glasses are fragile and they get damaged easily. This is why you need a hard protective case to keep them sheltered from any physical damage while they?re in your bag or on the table. You also need a soft microfiber cloth to keep your lenses clean and your vision as clear as possible.

Conclusion

As you can see, going through the process of getting glasses is not that complicated. You just need a bit of good will and some information. Make sure to do your research in order to find a good optometrist and a trustworthy lab and you?ll be good to go.
