Excellent vision is important for any person. But not everyone can boast of good eye health. Then goggles come to the rescue. Now in opticians there is a huge selection of glasses with diopters to improve vision. Anyone can choose frames and lenses to their liking.

How to choose glasses

When choosing an accessory to improve vision, you need to consider some features:
Glass glasses are suitable for many people with vision problems. It is an inexpensive accessory with a long service life and excellent optical properties.

• For children, it is better to choose options made of plastic. Glasses made of the same material are suitable for athletes, car drivers and other people whose activities involve the risk of breaking glass.
• There are high-tech lenses on sale that will be a good option for people whose work is associated with increased eye strain.
• Aspheric glasses are lightweight and thin, look modern and beautiful.
• Models with monofocal lenses are suitable for patients who need vision correction for farsightedness or nearsightedness.
• For office workers, options with trifocal lenses are suitable.
• Glasses equipped with photochromic lenses relieve eye strain.
• For water sports or driving a car, options with tinted lenses are suitable. Also this option is suitable for fishermen.

For convenience, many patients buy glasses with a multifunctional coating. To prevent accidental damage to lenses, use combined models or options with a metal frame. Spectacles with a rimmed frame design are especially reliable.

How to choose a frame

In order not to be disappointed in the acquisition, the frames must be measured before buying. A good product will become a pleasant accessory that emphasizes attractive facial features. To do this, you need to choose a frame opposite to the shape of the face.

Half-rimmed or rimless glasses are popular with many buyers. But they have become popular recently. These glasses do not have a frame in the full sense of the word. For semi-rimmed glasses, the lenses are attached with special elements and nylon fishing line. In the rimless version, the temples are held in place with screws. These glasses are made with plastic lenses.

Rim glasses are characterized by a solid frame around the lenses. It holds glass or plastic elements.

The material of the frame also matters a lot. Now on sale there are options for metal and plastic frames. But sometimes you can find combined models.

The metal frame of the lenses is highly durable. These glasses weigh a little, look stylish, beautiful. Typically, frames are made from aluminum or copper-nickel alloys, stainless steel, and titanium. These glasses do not look bulky on the face. They are neutral and go with a variety of styles and looks. For people prone to allergic reactions, frames are made from neutral titanium or stainless steel.

The plastic frame also has good strength characteristics and perfectly fixes the lenses. But such models break much more often than metal counterparts. After some time after constant wear, the plastic frame tarnishes as it is exposed to ultraviolet rays. Plastic frames are more suitable for glasses with thick lenses. This technique allows you to make them visually smaller.

As a result of a competent combination of metal and plastic, practical and comfortable models are obtained. These frames are beautiful and stylish, like many buyers.
