Choose the frame according to the face shape
Just like hairstyles and beards, frames should also be chosen according to your face shape. Of course, there is more than one frame for each face shape, and you can also prepare a few more pairs for yourself to match different styles. Try to avoid wearing spectacle frames that are too similar to the face shape, so as not to cause the lines of the face to be over-emphasized. Usually, the shape of the face is round, oval, square, rectangle, and heart-shaped. For example, if your face is square, you should choose glasses frames that are slightly wider than the shape of your face. This will make your face shape looks slightly slender. If the face is round, angular and square frames will help modify the lines of the face.
How Are Glasses Made?
In this section, we will show you how glasses are made. Here are a few steps.
- Eyeglasses lenses are first made by an optician reviewing your prescription and taking a lens bank that closest matches your prescription.
- The optician puts the lens bank into a grinding machine and grinds it into a shape that matches your prescription even closer.
- Then the glasses lenses are edged and cut into a shape that fits the frame you chose.
- Last, put the cut lenses into a solution so as to protect them from scratches, then give them a tint and more.
After all steps are finished, the glasses are made successfully.
Why were eyeglasses invented?
Glasses are commonly used for vision correction, such as reading glasses and myopia glasses, but they are sometimes used for cosmetic purposes if special lenses are not available. Safety glasses provide eye protection for a construction worker or laboratory technician against flying debris. They provide protection against visible and near-visible light or radiation. Sunglasses can improve vision in bright sunlight and can protect your eyes from excessive UV damage. Special glasses can be used to view specific visual information. Sometimes glasses are used purely for fashion or aesthetic purposes. Even eyeglasses used to correct vision come in different kinds of styles, with frames made of plastic, metal, wire, and other materials.
What are keyhole glasses used for?
The keyhole distributes the weight of the glasses to one side of the nose rather than the top. It's a good choice for those with broad noses. Due to the lack of support at the top, the keyhole design will result in the frame being positioned lower than the saddle bridge frame. If you find that your saddle frame causes your eyes to be located just below the center of the lens area, you may try a wider frame or opt for a keyhole design.
Advantages of Plastic Frames
Plastic is usually called a plate, having no skin allergies. The price is relatively cheap. Colors and styles are diverse. The color is rich, rich in shape. The injection molding material is higher dimensional stability of the whole batch, fast processing speed, and low comprehensive cost. Material prices are lower. It has a certain flexibility. TR material has high transparency. With high flexibility, it can meet the needs of different sizes. Plate material surface hardness is high. They need no surface treatment, having noble texture, wear-resisting. Suitable comfort change can be made according to different face sizes. It is the most mature material used in eyewear products of international apparel brands.
Choose cost-effective lenses.
People who have high degrees choose the lens with a high refractive index like 1.60. So that the child's nose will not be compressed, which is the concern of most parents. Children grow faster, and the glasses replacement cycle is short. Adults should choose better quality lenses when choosing lenses, because a pair of glasses can be used for years, even in the situation when the frames are badly distorted and the lenses turn yellow. Zeiss A series lenses are cost-effective, suitable for people who are short of money and want quality. Nikon lens quality is very good, the film, wear, and sharpness are excellent. The disadvantage is that it is expensive, and the price gradient is quite large. The price scope is a bit wide, with two different refractive indexes.
What is a qualified plano lens?
First, identify the surface. High-quality products should not have obvious scratches, pitting, edge collapse, sand holes, water ripples, bubbles, and other surface defects. Put glasses next to the place of 33 cm or so at the moment. When looking at the object through glasses, there is no phenomenon that the objects become big or decrescent, and you should not have a feeling that the objects are beating. Otherwise, the quality of the glasses has a problem. Next check through the instrument identification. Finally, check whether the trademark, manufacturer, and quality certificate are true and reliable. The lens of the international famous brand product is often engraved with the manufacturer's trademark, which can be found by careful observation on the edge of the lens.
