Great vision is important for anyone. But not everyone can boast of good eye health. Then glasses come to the rescue. Now in optics 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 must take into account 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 plastic options. Glasses made of the same material are suitable for athletes, car drivers and other people whose activities involve the risk of breaking glass.

How to choose a frame

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

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

Bezel glasses feature a one-piece frame around the lenses. It holds glass or plastic elements.

The frame material is also important. Now on sale there are options for metal and plastic frames. But sometimes you can find combined models.

The metal lens frame is highly durable. Such glasses weigh a little, look stylish, beautiful. Usually, aluminum or copper-nickel alloys, stainless steel and titanium are used for the production of frames. Such glasses do not look bulky on the face. They are neutral and go with different styles and looks. For people prone to allergic reactions, frames are made of 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 will tarnish 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 the competent combination of metal and plastic, practical and comfortable models are obtained. Such frames are beautiful and stylish, and many buyers like them.

It is suitable for different types of glasses and is often recommended for use in recipes. Aspherical lenses are made from a slice of an ellipsoid. These lenses are thinner and produce less image distortion. Especially around the edges of the lens. Therefore, this option is more modern and high quality.
