Choosing Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses help us see things that are close to us, such as faces, letters and words. They also help us see objects that are far away, such as the players in a sports game or the band at a concert. Without glasses, the world can look blurry, limiting enjoyment of life’s moments.

Your prescription determines what type of lenses you need. If you are nearsighted, your lenses will be concave (curve inward) to correct the short-sightedness of your vision. Farsighted people will need lenses that are convex to correct the long-sightedness of their vision.

Some lenses are multifocal, meaning they have two different prescriptions incorporated into one lens. This helps people who need a separate prescription for seeing close-up and distant objects.

The most important thing about your eyeglasses is that they fit well. They should not pinch your nose or ears, or fall off your face during daily activities. The frames should be balanced, as well, with the front and the back of the frame fitting evenly on your head.

There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing eyeglasses, but there are also many ways to make the process fun and easy. Taking your personality and lifestyle into account will help you find the perfect pair of eyeglasses that suit you. With a little time and effort, you will be able to find the best frames for your face shape, eye and hair color, and personal style.
