Ben Franklin wore eyeglasses. Elton John wears eyeglasses. Both men are celebrities in their own right – both men have had very recognizable eyeglasses. The difference being Ben Franklin had little selection to choose from when he needed glasses to see – his glasses became synonymous with his image. Elton John created an image and a personality to go with his eyeglasses. So, how do you find the PERFECT pair of eyeglasses? There are a few things rarely thought about in order to find that perfect pair.

Facial Shape

Most people barely consider their facial shape to be an issue when getting their hair cut and styled – but their hairdresser knows better. So, why should you consider your facial shape in order to buy a pair of eyeglasses? Like a hair cut gone wrong, glasses can also skew your appearance.

Oval faces are unique in that any frame will flatter their shape but only if the size of the frame is proportionate to the size of the face. Make a square face softer by wearing rounded or curved frames that sit up a bit higher in order to downplay the chin – thin metal is an optimum choice but thinner plastic will work well too! On the opposite side, round faces should choose frames that are more angular or have straight lines in a black or tortoise shell color to minimize fullness. Round-shaped faces should also avoid round frames at all costs.

Oblong faces – long and narrow – need frames that minimize the length of the face and cover the center of the face. Aim for triangular shaped or rounder shaped frames to shorten the face or wide rectangular frames to maximize width of the face. Oblong faces should also choose frames with embellishment towards the sides or frames in bold colors to broaden the face. If your temples are a bit on the wide side, your diamond or triangular shaped face should be adorned with smaller geometric or oval frames that sit lower on the face to minimize the distance between your temples.

Nose shape

If your nose is large, it’s OK – just be sure to pick slightly oversized frames to balance the face. Smaller frames will make the nose look bigger. Small noses require a high bridge to lengthen the nose and make it proportionate to the face. If you have a long nose, select frames with high arms to draw attention away from the length of the nose and toward the temples – rimless frames are perfect for executing this properly. To minimize a long nose, try glasses with a double bridge – like the aviator style.

These are not rules – mostly suggestions in finding the right eyeglasses for you. When buying a frame, remember to add your personality to it! Colors are a great way to show the world what YOU want to show them. Black portrays sophistication and mystery, while gray and silver show a cultured and educated person. Light pinks and purples are innocent and feminine but violet is the color of royalty while being subtly sexy. Blues and green give off a calm-air and make you look approachable. Red is bold, sexy, and powerful but should not be worn by the meek and timid. What ever look you want to portray – color is a key ingredient! Colors add personality to your frame and make them fashionable – so don’t be afraid to try out new colors with newer styles!

Use these tips as suggestions but make sure you play around and have fun with different frames – you never know until you try!

Up until about fifteen to twenty years ago, young children needing glasses would refuse to wear them because it looked like the glasses were swallowing up their face. All that was really available for small faces were these plastic frames with big thick rims. Those kids that could get by with not wearing their glasses all of the time would take them off once they got to school so other children wouldn’t make fun of them. This is despite the fact that having trouble seeing the chalkboard was the main reason for the glasses in the first place. Then there were those kids who had to wear them all of the time because they couldn’t see without them. Those were usually the children having to endure names such as “four eyes” from various other kids throughout the day.

Now when we look at a classroom full of children, we find that many of them are wearing eyeglasses. We may even find that those kids that were making fun of other children for wearing huge glasses are now adults who have to have them themselves. Such conditions as nearsightedness and farsightedness do not spare many individuals. Fortunately, sight screenings at school help spot these conditions before they can really have a toll on a child’s schoolwork. What results is that child having to have glasses, but, fortunately, getting glasses nowadays is not as painful as it used to be.

Styling

Eyeglasses can be considered cool if they fit properly. Many eyeglass distributors offer children’s eyeglasses so that your child has a perfectly proportioned pair of eyeglasses on his or her face. It isn’t like twenty years ago when the options were limited because not as many children were being diagnosed with eye conditions. Now large designer companies are making eyeglasses for kids that look fantastic on them. You just have to be mindful of what looks best on your child or they could be made fun of for their glasses not looking right on them.

Things to take into consideration:

? The size of your child’s face
? The shape of your child’s face
? The shape of the glasses being tried
? The size of the glasses being tried

Your child’s face shape and size is going to be a huge determining factor in what size and shape of glasses they wear. There are frames that are square, round, and oval. You can try all of these to see which looks best. Frames are also made out of both wire metal and plastic, so you can also see which looks best. Some are even rimless, which can give the illusion that your child is not wearing glasses.

If your child has very bad eyesight, then you can see about having thinner lenses placed within the frame. Technology is now available that allows you to have the lenses thinned without hampering the prescription. This eliminates the illusion that your child is looking through the bottom of a glass soda bottle.

Glasses are cool

If you take into consideration shape, size, and lens thinning options, then your child is going to look really great in his or her new glasses. It isn’t so much of a curse as it used to be, but it can be if the glasses are not the right fit. By having the right fit, other kids are either going to tell your child that they like their glasses or they’re not really going to care that the glasses are even there. Most importantly, a good fit is also going to ensure that your child is going to be able to see everything that needs to be seen.

Contact lenses are miraculous pieces of plastic that allow you to see without glasses. In most cases, contact lenses are used as a substitute for glasses, allowing you to dispense with them. Contact lenses may also be used to treat certain eye diseases or may be used for cosmetic purposes to change the apparent color of your eyes.

Successful contact-lens wear requires a “partnership” between the fitter, that is, an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, or possibly an optician, and you, the wearer.

The fitter must first decide if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses. If so, the fitter then fits the correct lenses for your eyes and your needs and teaches you how to use and care for them.

The fitter should be available if problems develop; if not available, the fitter must then have system in place to address those situations.

You must follow the instructions, care for, and wear the lenses correctly, and return as required for routine and emergency care.

A fitter can be an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, or possibly an optician.

Ophthalmologists are doctors who have graduated from college, and a school of medicine (MD) or osteopathy (DO), after which three to five years of additional training are required and spent studying about eye examinations (including fitting of contact lenses and glasses), diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, and performing eye surgery. Ophthalmologists perform both conventional surgery and laser surgery.

Optometrists have graduated from a school of optometry (OD), where they are trained in eye examinations, fitting of contact lenses and glasses, and depending on state licensure, treatment of certain eye diseases. Optometrists do not perform conventional eye surgery or laser surgery.

Opticians fit glasses based on the prescription of an ophthalmologist or an optometrist. In some states, opticians may fit contact lenses. Opticians do not perform eye examinations, do not diagnose or treat eye diseases, and do not perform surgery.

Soft lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses are the main lenses available. Each has specific indications as well as a specific wear and care regimen. The older hard (PMMA) lenses are rarely used today and have risks similar to RGP lenses. There are larger scleral lenses available for special eye conditions.

Contact lenses are mainly used to avoid having to wear glasses in conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism or to avoid the use of bifocals (multifocal lenses).

They may also be used to treat other conditions. Keratoconus is a condition in which the surface of the eye has a very irregular shape (astigmatism). When glasses no longer provide adequate vision, contact lenses are used.

Contact lenses are often used after refractive surgery when under- or over-corrections occur. After surgery, and in some cases of eye diseases of the cornea, bandage soft contact lenses may be used to allow the cornea to heal or may be used to alleviate pain.

Some lenses are meant for daily wear. With daily wear soft lenses, you wear the lenses for one day and then discard them. This allows one to dispense with solutions, cleaning, and disinfection of the lenses. It allows intermittent wear such as weekend or occasional wear, as desired.

Most soft lenses and some RGP lenses are worn for a day and then removed, cleaned, and disinfected each night. Soft lenses are usually replaced on a regular basis, which varies from one week to one month to three months to one year. RGP lenses may last for years with regular care.

Extended wear lenses, usually soft, are worn overnight for one week and then replaced every one to two weeks. Trying to extend the wear of lenses beyond the recommended replacement schedule is a false economy and an invitation to potential disaster.

Overnight wear decreases the amount of oxygen available to the eye and increases the (rare) chance of infection by fourfold. Because of this, some practitioners do not recommend extended wear of contact lenses. Newer lenses may be safer.

Problems resulting from contact lens wear range from the inability to remove the lenses (usually after first being fit) to blindness from infections. Proper fitting, instruction, and care and maintenance can prevent most problems.

When being fit with contact lenses, the fitter should provide the patient with information as to what to do in case of a problem (call the office, go to the emergency room, etc.).

After being fit, inability to remove lenses occasionally occurs. Call your fitter for instructions as to how to proceed.

The most common reasons for contact-lens wearers to seek care is irritation of the eyes, redness, or blurred vision. These can be caused by the lenses wearing out or warping, a change in the eyes requiring new lenses, poor fitting of the lenses, poor care of the lenses, or sensitivity to solutions. These relatively minor inconveniences must be evaluated because they may signal the onset of corneal ulcers and deeper infection.

With the glut of contact-lens solutions available, it is important to use only the solution recommended by the fitter. Some solutions may be incompatible with certain lenses or may contain components, such as Thimerosal (20% of people are allergic to this substance), which are not compatible with the eyes of certain people.

One major concern, from the wearer’s viewpoint, is the danger when a contact lens slips off the eye. The lens sits on the surface of the eye but cannot travel “back to the brain” because the clear covering of the eye goes under the eyelid and keeps the lens from going further back.

If the lens cannot be repositioned on the cornea, it is under the eyelid and can be easily slid or moved to its correct position on the cornea (sometimes requiring the help of the fitter). It will do no harm if it is under the eyelid for a number of hours.

Redness of the eyes associated with pain, blurred vision, and light sensitivity is more serious and may signal a potentially blinding condition, such as a corneal ulcer due to an infection.

Abrasions (scratches) on the surface of the cornea (corneal abrasions) usually result from insufficient oxygen reaching the surface of the eye, although they may also result from dirt or other foreign bodies getting under the lens. It may be due to either over-wear of the contact lenses or lenses that are not tolerated by the eye. These disturbances of the cornea not only may be very painful but also may predispose the eye to a serious, blinding infection.

Occasionally, someone inadvertently soaks his or her lenses in cleaning solution or soap solution, resulting in redness of the eye with a great deal of pain. This is extremely uncomfortable but usually causes no permanent damage. Drops and irrigation of the eye may be necessary to relieve the pain.

Makeup may get under a lens and cause irritation or a greasy film on the lens, making it difficult to see clearly. Sometimes polishing in the office will be necessary to remove this film.

It is important to keep in mind that any of these eye complaints may occur and have nothing to do with the contact lenses and may be signs of other unrelated eye conditions such as infections, cataracts, or glaucoma. It may be necessary to see your eye-care professional for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Any change in the condition of the eyes of contact-lens wearers must be evaluated for the cause and possible treatment. Whether or not these eye complaints are due to the contact lenses, they still must be diagnosed and treated. When in doubt, call your fitter for information as to how to proceed; remember that opticians do not treat eye diseases.

Pinhole eyeglasses are an interesting invention in the world of optometry. Otherwise called stenopeic glasses (or “little opening” in Greek), each metal or plastic “lens” has a series of tiny perforations, usually no larger than a pin’s head. Light enters through each perforation, increasing the depth of field and giving the retina no “blind spots”. Only what is directly in front of the retina is taken into vision. The Chinese discovered pinhole technology in the 5th century, and these glasses were used by the public beginning in the middle of the 20th century. A pinhole camera follows the same technology.

Typical prescription glasses produce a pincushion effect near the edges of the line of vision, in that straight lines seem distorted and curvy. Pinhole glasses block these outer lines and only allow vision by the middle of the pupil. Additionally, the further an object is from the wearer, the better it can be seen. 

Compared with prescription eyeglasses, pinhole glasses differ in several different ways. Whereas a user may have to continually upgrade their traditional eyeglasses as their vision changes, this is not the case with pinhole eyeglasses. They can, technically, last a lifetime. They also do not need to be cleaned of smudges and are nowhere near as fragile. However, they should not be worn while driving or performing other rapid activities as they limit periphery vision. They are best used during activities in which you are stationary, such as watching television or reading a book.

While older models of pinhole glasses have obvious perforations, newer models are more attractive. Modern pinhole glasses are more curved near the edges, and some can even pass as traditional sunglasses. Some even provide full protection from ultraviolet rays and include a minor mirror coating to be more reflective and better disguise the perforations from others.

There are many varieties of eye glasses in the market today.   If you go to a major store like a mall, or Wal-Mart, you can easily get a prescription eye glasses or contact lens that come in many different styles.  However, there is another kind of glasses that is not widely known which can be used to improve far sighted or near sighted problems.  This kind of glasses  is known as pinhole glasses.

So what are pinhole glasses?  Pinhole glasses are glasses with small openings that are supposed to improve the vision of the persons wearing them.  They are sometimes called stenopeic glasses: stenopeic is a Greek word that means “little opening”.   These tiny openings or pinholes allow lesser amount of light to enter the eyes.  This is similar to when you make a fist and look through the tiny opening in your fist.  You can see objects clearer inside the opening that your fist makes.  So this is how pinhole glasses work.  Lights from outlying areas are blocked out while allowing into the eyes the lights that go into the middle part of the pupil.  Refractive error is reduced and a person’s vision is improved. 

Pinhole glasses improve vision at all distances.  They cost less than prescription glasses but a little bit more than reading glasses.  The wearer will notice very little glare or distortion.  Pinhole glasses will work the entire lifetime and need very little maintenance.

Pinhole eyeglasses come in two different styles:  traditional pinholes and modern pinholes.  Traditional pinholes have wider lenses with a little curvature.  You can see the holes in the lens.  The traditional styles do lessen the amount of ultraviolet light.  On the other hand, the modern pinholes are more attractive in design with look similar to sunglasses.  They provide full protection from ultraviolet light.  The holes are not easily noticeable by other people.

Wearing sunglasses has in the past been more of a fashion statement than a necessity. Obviously they were also worn to help block out the glaring sun. But in this day and age things have changed so much that even our children and yes our pets are wearing sunglasses.

Not only has the fashion industry surged forward with sunglasses as a major accessory to our clothes but the medical field has also pushed the wearing of sunglasses to an all time high. This has given manufacturers a major boost leading to an almost over population of these types of glasses. You will find them almost everywhere from low budget prices to exorbitant prices.

Research has shown that the sun is getting hotter and UV rays are becoming quite dangerous to our skin and our eyes. It is very important to wear sunscreen for your skin and protective glasses for your eyes. Make sure that when you buy sunscreen you buy a high UV rating and that goes with your sunglasses. Always buy ones with the maximum protection level.

This doesn’t mean that you will have to pay ridiculously high prices for maximum protection because there are many companies that sell sunglasses with this protection for very affordable prices. You just need to look around. Depending on you budget you can go as low as $5.00 up to $100.s of dollars. It really is up to you and your affordability.

For some people having designer glasses is very important and to others it doesn’t matter as long as they do the job and still look good then that’s ok also. What I do know is that you will never run short of options and the best way to find what you want is by shopping online. Not only will you find every type of brand name, style and protection level, you will also be able to find great discounts.

So, the next time you are looking for a pair of sunglasses remember to not only look at what styles are in fashion but also make sure you look for a maximum protection level to look after those all-important eyes.

Whoever said that diamonds are a girls best friend obviously hadn’t had the pleasure of being introduced to a cubic zirconia. With just as much sparkle and the benefits of an eye clean diamond simulant at a fraction of the cost, cubic zirconia jewelry may very well be the best friend that a girl’s wallet could have.

As is often the case with life, timing is everything and the latest trends in jewelry are all about what’s happening right now. But, what if a current trend combines with a classic look that never goes out of style? What happens is you get the best of both worlds and, in this case, it’s all about love. Afterall, love is timeless and a heart is the universal symbol.

With a current trend that suggests bigger is better, large cubic zirconia jewelry featuring the design of a heart is the latest in fashion. The best thing about this popular style is versatility. Whether you want a floating heart pendant or a traditional bail, there’s no better way to show off your excellent taste and smart shopping ability than with cubic zirconia jewelry.

If you are gifting a piece of heart cubic zirconia jewelry to someone that you love, there are a number of creative ways in which to present your expression of affection. The holidays are a wonderful time of year to be with those you love and there is no better way to let someone special know how much they mean to you than with a gift of heart jewelry. Instead of wrapping up a traditional gift box, consider letting the heart cubic zirconia jewelry dangle from a branch on your Christmas tree. Imagine her surprise when the tree lights are being reflected through a dazzling display of cubic zirconia.

When combined with sterling silver, cubic zirconia hearts will look even brighter. Because sterling silver offers a clean look similar to white gold, it’s warm and inviting. When set in sterling silver, cubic zirconia reflects an eye clean look that makes this synthetic gemstone a true work of manmade art.

Once you own a piece of heart cubic zirconia jewelry, there are plenty of ways to add even more versatility to your collection. A floating heart pendant can be worn in the intended style or it can be transformed into a bold and unique look using two sterling silver box link necklaces. Looping one chain through each side of the pendant and then fastening it around your neck will give you the instant look of a multi-strand necklace. If you own a traditional heart pendant with a bail, try clasping it onto a rolo bracelet for the look of a charm bracelet or use a sterling silver spring ring to connect your pendant to the toggle of a toggle necklace. This gives you the designer look and the option of changing your jewelry to look like a new style each time you wear it.

For those who want to purchase a necklace, ring, pair of earrings or a bracelet featuring a cubic zirconia heart design, treat yourself or someone special to an indulgence that offers no negative side effects. Cubic zirconia jewelry has zero calories, is practically guilt free and won’t break your budget.

You have already distributed the invitations and have chosen your wedding reception; you and your groom have already gone to your designer, and have done a taste test. You think you have handled all the important details of your wedding; but you are wrong.

Oftentimes, a bride gives much attention to her wedding gown, but less to her makeup. She thought hiring a professional makeup artist is enough. The responsibility of making her look stunning on her wedding day lies in him or her already. This is wrong. Remember, all eyes – and all cameras – will be on you; hence, you should be very conscious about how you will look. If you have only realize this as you read this article, well, pick up your phone and ask your professional makeup artist for an appointment. It is time to place special attention to some aspects regarding your would-be look on that day. You should not leave any stone unturned. You should discuss about what makeup essentials you will need on your wedding day.

1. Waterproof mascara
Surely, the day will be filled with emotions. Your parents will start shedding tears as you start walking down the aisle; some people will follow. You cannot be sure you will not cry – brides do. Instead of telling your self ‘I will not cry, my mascara will be a total mess…’ use waterproof mascara. It will give you a fresh look from start to end.

2. Translucent Powder
After applying everything on your face, dust your face with translucent powder because it will help a lot in keeping your makeup all day long. More importantly, it will prevent you from wearing a shiny face.

3. Lip Pencil
Yes, this time, ask your professional makeup artist to use lip pencil rather than the ordinary lipstick. Lip pencil will help maintain the color of your lip from the start of the wedding ceremony to the end of the reception. To add luster to your lips, wear it under a lip gloss.

4. Concealer
Concealer works to, as its name suggests, conceal whatever flaws you have on your face. For the most brides, they get stressed even on the day of their wedding. In fact, they get sleepless nights that eye bugs and blemishes are already visible. These dark lines under your eyes have no right to be on your face right on your wedding celebration! Therefore, use concealer to hide them and look good on your wedding day.

5. Lipstick
This will be used to bring the color back to your lips after the wedding ceremony kiss.

Tell your professional makeup artist that the waterproof mascara, powder, lip pencil, concealer, and lipstick are your wedding-day makeup essentials. All should be present during your wedding day – or else, he or she will not get paid. You are not being too harsh, but you only want to be sure about how you will look and feel on your wedding day. You do not want people to tell you just the plain ‘congratulations’. You want to hear them say next: “You look stunning…”
