Eye wear fashion is important because the first impression you make is critical. The way you look says something about you. When selecting frames for glasses aside from the latest style, there are other things to take into consideration such as face size and shape. Ask an optician for help when selecting eye wear fashion. They can guide you in choosing a style that is flattering on you.
When looking for new frames, bring in your current pair.
Frames are usually metal or plastic.
Plastic frames are usually lighter, have tinting options, are impact resistant and easier to care for.
Metal frames will probably last longer but require more maintenance. Nose pads are usually better for people with a small bridge or a small nose.
If you are allergic to some metals ask to see hypoallergenic frames.
Frames consisting of both metal and plastic usually feel heavy on the nose.
Frames made from titanium and stainless steel are very durable and strong.
