Have Your Glasses Fit Your Personality

By Amanda Somrekli

Many reading glass manufacturers have even started manufacturing a separate line of readers for those individuals that have a hard time finding readers that are large enough. With names like Big Head Bob and Phat Head they definitely offer a generous fit.

There is also an amazing variety of colors to choose from; elegant black to modern tortoise. You could of course try something new and go for a dash of bright green or purple. Some of the styles for full frames says it all; Bada Bing, Clark Kent, Geek or Depth Charger.

Lastly, you may have been blessed with a heart-shaped face. Your cheekbones are high and slopes steeply towards a very narrow chin. Your forehead also appears too wide.

But the truth is right in front of that mirror. Your face has a square shape. It is a formidable and powerful face. Your jaw is pronounced and your forehead is wide.

Third, check out the frames. Are they made of cheap plastic and painted alloys or are they made of optical-quality zyls and solid metals? Cheap plastics are more likely to show scratches and wear than better quality frames. And inexpensive materials tend to peel, flake and show their age before their time.

Cataracts are caused by a build up of protein on the lens of the eye. Over time, the lens turns milky white, and clouds vision. The lenses then need to be surgically replaced to restore vision.

Shopping for reading glasses for the first time and not sure how to feel abut it or what to look for? You are young and active and can not believe your eyes suddenly can't keep up. Your hip, stylish and active and want to make sure your glasses are too!

Optimum nutrition for your eyes includes proper amounts of Vitamin A, C, and E, as well as the minerals selenium and zinc. These nutrients are found in fresh fruits and vegetables, especially in yellow and yellow-orange foods like yams, cantaloupes, and carrots.

The next time you are looking at eyeglasses, try to match the top of the eyeglasses (the upper edge of the lenses and frames) with the shape of your brow. You will be pleasantly surprised to see that most any frame you select using this method will fit you quite nicely.

Men also have a wide variety of readers available just for them. There are the ultra cool thick frames reminiscent of Clark Kent and yesteryear. There are high quality metal frames cut in masculine shapes to offset male features. - 15252
