Selecting Clearly Better Eyeglasses for your Life and Style

Eyeglasses: fulfill your need to see and be seen.

If you wear eyeglasses, chances are you’ve spent considerable time in a local optical shop, in search of the quintessential glasses to fit your personality; the perfect accessory to compliment your image. It’s a tough decision! The first thing a person recognizes is generally your face. With this in mind, your eyewear selection is no small part of your identity. That leaves a lot of pressure to decide, when you’re up to your eyeballs (all puns intended) in the menagerie of available frames, each a different color, shape, size, style or material.  

What are your glasses saying about you?

While bringing your world into focus, your glasses also accessorize the most authentic version of you. By selecting the right eyewear style, you control the way people perceive you and how you relate to the world. When meeting someone for the first time, your style selections impact whether you appear relaxed and welcoming, sophisticated and hip, free-spirited and creative, style-conscious and trendy or any of a million other adjective combinations you may fancy.  The key: finding the right eyeglass frames to suit your personality, life and personal style.

Let’s start at the very beginning… a very good place to start

First and foremost, what do you wear your glasses for, on a daily basis? What type of job do you have, what activities do you participate in, what is your overall activity level? Answering these questions will help you understand what characteristics you should consider looking for, so that your new glasses truly fit your lifestyle seamlessly. 

Would you benefit from more than one pair of glasses (here’s a hint: probably). 

Different occasions and life events generally call for different looks. Would you wear hiking boots to a black-tie event, or high heels to go hiking?  Apply this analogy to your glasses and one size generally does not fit all.  Besides, who can argue that two pairs of glasses gives you double the fashion options?

On the other hand, a second pair of glasses, chosen with functionality in mind, can make a noticeable improvement in your day to day vision goals.  For example, if your daily-wear glasses have a bifocal lens, but you also spend a good portion of your time in front of a computer, try adding a second pair of glasses designed with lens technology for computer use.
