Glasses as a fashion accessory. Glasses, lenses, frames. Glasses - a fashionable women's accessory

This is how the concept of the image of a business lady gradually developed, which in our time includes not only a well-thought-out wardrobe, neat hair and makeup, but also impeccably matched accessories - scarves, jewelry, bags, belts, watches, pens, business card holders and, of course, glasses. The purpose of the glasses is to complement the image as a whole. Surrounding people should see, first of all, your smart penetrating eyes in a stylish frame, and not the frame and you behind it. How to choose a stylish and at the same time practical and comfortable to wear frame? Let's talk about it in the article.

As a rule, glasses are worn to correct vision. However, recently, image glasses that do not have diopters have come into fashion: simple glasses are inserted into them. These glasses are purchased to experiment with their appearance. Fashion glasses give business women such features as: elegance, seriousness, sophistication and, to some extent, solidity. The only office rule for lenses and glasses is that they must be transparent. If the interlocutor does not see your eyes, he subconsciously does not trust you.

Tinted glasses are appropriate and justified, for example, in sunglasses and sports glasses.

The right frame plays a big role in the purchase of both medical and fashion glasses. The comfort and safety of the frame is only half the battle, as its aesthetic qualities will not please you if you start to get nervous about the wrong fit of your glasses.

Glasses should fit snugly to the face, without squeezing it, and sit firmly on the bridge of the nose. Falling "eyepieces" will distract both you and your interlocutors. Traces on the bridge of the nose from tight nose pads are also useless. Some frames have adjustable nose pads, allowing you to customize your glasses. The temples should be located at the same height and be covered with a special composition against inflammation of the skin around the ears. The temples, which provide a stable position for the glasses, should not put pressure on the temples and the area behind the auricles. The quality of the frame can be judged by the absence of scratches, rust, chips on it. The frame of the frame should be even and smooth.

frame material

Metal the most versatile, durable, modern. It doesn't draw attention away from your face. This frame is suitable for most of the business wardrobe.

Consider the nuance: the color of the frame and the color of the accessories that you wear to the office should be the same - either gold or silver.

A brief overview of the materials for the manufacture of metal frames will be useful so that you can more easily navigate in the optician's salon.

The most popular is titanium or alloys with it. Frames made of it are light, durable, hypoallergenic, resistant to chemical attack. This metal is not the most budgetary, so the frames from it belong to the VIP level.

An alternative to titanium can be its alloy, which contains at least 70% of this metal. In this case, all the positive properties of the frame are preserved. The most common alloy is beta titanium.

Monel and nickel silver- metals, which include two main components - nickel and copper.

In Monel, the nickel content reaches 85%, this is the most commonly used metal for the production of not only frames, but also elements for them - bridges, temples, etc. In the event of deformation, the frame can return to its previous shape due to the “memory” of the monel. Nickel silver, with a nickel content of up to 20%, was one of the first metals to be used on the optical market. Today, nickel silver is used in the production of frames of low and medium price ranges. Due to the fact that nickel can cause allergies, monel and nickel silver frames have a special protective coating. It wears off over time and can irritate the skin.

On a note!
Keep a few pairs of glasses in stock and change them periodically.

Beryllium is a good substitute for titanium, although it is not very resistant to rust. Beryllium frames are available in a wide range of colors.

If the lightness of the frame is crucial for you, pay attention to frames made of aluminum and stainless steel.

Gold and silver practically not used for the manufacture of solid frames.

In the case of gold, this is unprofitable, with silver it is risky: it is too soft. But due to their aesthetic qualities, both metals "found themselves" not only in the finishing of frames, but also in the composition of alloys for their manufacture.

plastic frames appeared on the market relatively recently, but quickly became popular. Their main advantage is the scope in the choice of colors and hypoallergenicity.

Holds the palm among plastic options for many years cellulose acetate in a wide range of colors and shapes. Frames made of it are comfortable, pleasant to the touch, light, presented in all price categories. These features of cellulose acetate more than compensate for its low resistance to chemical attack and sunlight, resulting in fading and a tendency for frames to crack. Resistance to external influences, extraordinary lightness (lighter than aluminium) and modern design combine carbon, similar in properties to titanium. Designers love it for its flexibility, which allows you to create thin and elegant frames or their elements.

Among epoxy polymers, the most popular optyl.

Its advantages are resistance to sunlight, cosmetics, sweat and the ability to take its former shape in case of severe deformation. It is enough to heat the frame, and it will take its original form.

Frame made of natural materials - horns, turtle shell- could be a great solution. The pattern on the section of the horn makes the frame individual and gives it a special charm. Wide, stable fit and pleasant sensations on the skin set these frames apart from their "colleagues". To care for frames made of natural materials, there is a special cream that comes with a microfiber cloth.

Horn glasses are made by hand in the old fashioned way, which refers them to the luxury segment and testifies to their status and adherence to traditions.

Least noticeable on the face rimless and semi-rimless glasses. These "invisibles" do not focus on themselves and do not oblige you to choose certain clothes and accessories. To add a “zest” in the form of color to such frames, the arms will allow.

How to choose the right glasses?

It is known that glasses change facial features and the perception of others around the appearance of a person as a whole. First of all, it concerns the shape and color of the frame. This fact can be used as a fashion tool to emphasize the dignity of your appearance.

When you go to the optician's shop, keep in mind the following general classic rules for choosing frames:

in width it should be equal to the widest part of the face, in height it should not be higher than the line of the eyebrows and should not “sit down” on the cheeks;
large facial features are combined with a large frame, small features - with a small and elegant;
a narrow nose bridge on the frame will visually bring wide-set eyes together, as well as narrow a wide forehead and vice versa;
a short nose will lengthen a light frame with a high bridge, a long nose will make a low or wide nose shorter;
half-rimmed glasses or an emphasis on the temples will push the wide nose into the background.

Choosing glasses according to the type of face

The shape of the frame aesthetically depends on the type of face. It is important that the frame does not repeat its geometric contour, but exists in contrast. The tips below apply to both the choice of frames and the shape of the lenses if the glasses are rimless.

close to ideal oval face is great Rectangular, "cat" or frame in the form of an inverted trapezoid will look.

elongated oval medium-sized rectangular glasses with a wide nose are perfect.

On a round face square, narrow rectangular and oblong frames will play. High temples will also look good. As a material for the frame, it is desirable to choose colored plastic, which will visually stretch the face.

Angularity square and rectangular faces and the heaviness of a massive chin will be smoothed out by oval, "cat", rimless glasses, the arms of which are located in the center.

triangular the frame in the form of an inverted trapezoid, as well as "cat" and semi-rimmed frames are suitable for the type of face. It is advisable to choose a frame with an accent in the form of a thickening or a color spot on its upper part.

Similar recommendations apply to trapezoidal shape faces. The wide arms of the frame will balance its narrow upper and massive lower parts. Oval frames in light or muted colors, frames with cut corners and rimless frames will visually widen the chin of a heart-shaped face.

Diamond shaped faces are combined semi-rimless, oblong, rectangular with rounded edges, “cat” frames, “drop” frames - all those options that will draw attention to the upper part of the face.

Choosing glasses according to your color type and eye color

Color also refers to the aesthetic characteristics of glasses.

Autumn color type should stop at:

rich brown, copper, honey, plum, bottle, turquoise shades. From metals it is better to choose gold.

Main rule "Springs"- transparency. This color type is suitable for shades such as:

ivory, beige, salmon, orange, lilac, and a thin metal frame with a matte gold finish will emphasize the natural colors of the spring color type.

Contrasting winter color type will suit:

blue, white, red, deep purple, emerald shades. Of the metals for the frame, it is better to choose the color “under silver”.

A black frame on the face of people of this color type looks very harmonious.

For representatives of other color types, especially "Summer" and "Spring", a black frame will give an unnecessarily strict look. However, if your goal is emphasized rigor, conciseness, solidity, then feel free to use this trick.

main feature "summer" people - a kind of muted colors. You should not play in contrast: it will be more advantageous to shade your natural palette.

Ashes, silvers, pure grays and grays with touches of pink, blue, green, lilac, even beige, matte silver are your main colors.

Ladies of elegant age stand a little aside. Metal frames “under gold” and “under silver”, gray, yellow, sand, unfortunately, will only pay attention to their gray hair and age-related features of the skin. The most suitable colors in this case are transparent mother-of-pearl, lingonberry, blue, deep brown.

The frame can be sought, starting from only one component of the type of appearance - the color of the eyes. Depth gray and blue eyes frames of the same colors will enhance, brown shades will also play in contrast. Green eyes They “love” green and beige tones, and contrasting brown, calm orange, deep red will bring the green pigment of the iris to the fore. brown-eyed a business woman should focus on color saturation:

beige, creamy, ocher, coffee shades are suitable for hazel eyes, the saturation of dark brown eyes is emphasized by brown, amber and red colors. Green, purple, lavender will enhance the brightness of the brown pigment.

And in order to calmly, without hesitation, take out and put away glasses in a case, monitor its condition. Expensive and stylish glasses "lose" if the appearance of the case leaves much to be desired. Inside the case, a special coating should be provided so as not to damage the lenses.

Whether we are talking about medical or fashion glasses, two conditions should be in priority when buying them: functionality(fitting, materials) and aesthetics(color, shape). Their "duet" contributes to the correct choice of such glasses that you will wear every day with pleasure. Better yet, buy several pairs with different frames and change them depending not only on your mood, but also on a business suit and work situation.

The question "Do you wear it for beauty or according to indications?" - just brainwashing. After such questions, one wants to conduct a genocide on a fashionable basis. How can you say glasses are cool and be jealous when you have a choice and we don't. Now I have been wearing lenses for a long period of my life, which is also fun. Oh, and you have bad eyesight, don't you? Never would have thought. Oh, how do you put them on, take them off. Show me. (Right now, with dirty hands in the middle of the street, no table, no mortar, I’m already running) Are you sticking your finger in your eye? - begins to stretch a finger in the eye.
A separate annoying moment when I squinted and then the voice "Buy glasses!" Thanks for the advice, without you there’s no way, I already have lenses of -6.5 and I can’t wear them stronger, I’m motion sick.

About the movie wildly familiar! This is especially true for cartoons, my friend and I are both bespectacled and put on 3D over ours. It’s good that you don’t bother anymore, because in any form everything is fine. It looks like this:

- My eyesight is -6 astigmatism. Lenses do not correct this, you can’t see a damn thing in them. For decades, she was embarrassed to wear glasses and continued to spoil her eyesight. Only with the advent of feminism did she begin to love herself and not bother.

And it’s also terribly infuriating when people expect those who wear glasses to see everything super clearly. They ask you to read some inscription. You say you don't see, and then it starts "Well, you're wearing glasses!". In the worst case, when in a store (thank God, there are supermarkets now!) You ask to tell you the price of any product, the saleswoman asks in surprise, how can I not see it with glasses. By the way, now such situations do not happen so often, which pleases. But at school, my eyesight fell sharply, changing diopters every time was too expensive for my family, so sometimes from the first desk in glasses I saw some inscriptions only, slightly squinting my eyes. And at school, everyone had to wonder how it is possible not to see it with glasses, terribly unpleasant. Especially when the entire control was written on the board, and in order not to squint, I asked my classmates, and at such moments even the teachers were indignantly surprised that I couldn’t see from the first desk with glasses.

I have been wearing glasses for 18 years. It's weird to see something that you got slapped about as a kid becomes trendy. Terribly annoying stereotypes about glasses. But what pisses me off the most is that not all glasses are socially acceptable. You can wear these, they are so beautiful, fashionable, but these glasses are not, you have to put them on yourself (oh, horror, what a pity that I don’t give a damn). And for such people, it doesn’t matter how you feel in glasses, the main thing is how you look in them.

Sister, how I understand you! I have one eye a little farsighted (it can only be seen by hardware), and the second is minus 1.5. Without glasses, I seem to lose stereo vision. All objects are flat, and it is difficult to correctly "calculate" the distance to the thing - I reach out with my hand, but it is not always possible to take it. And the same nonsense, like, well, your eyesight is not very bad, but I can’t see at all. Damn, I sympathize, but will it really be easier for someone if I walk without glasses and collect all the jambs and corners with the edges of the body?
And as a child, from six to twelve, she wore glasses somewhere because of farsightedness. It’s good that Harry Potter 2 came out a little later, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to avoid comparisons with Moaning Myrtle.
Oh, and I also wear a lens in one eye! True, rarely, but savings.

Glasses do not suit me very much, and my mother does not allow lenses.
Moreover, she also forbids walking without glasses.
Eh, sad.

Vision began to fall in the second grade. She didn’t confess to my mother, since any negative information about me was reduced to “durra herself is to blame” (not guilty, heredity from her father). It surfaced at the end of the third grade, after checking at school. And the glasses were ordered already at the seventh - after my mother yelled that I did not say hello to her friends. Damn, I just didn't see them! I still remember that hell of a choice of frames - I liked the narrow metal frame, and my mother insisted on a terrible wide plastic frame. In addition, we checked our eyesight six months before the purchase, and over the summer it fell a lot (grandmother's buckets of water helped, I was only 11 years old). In general, I didn’t see a damn thing in those glasses and was afraid to admit it. I bought the next glasses for myself only two years later, having worked for a month as a counselor at a school camp. The glasses were cheap "chameleons" from a stall in the market and were not matched to my needs. But at least I saw something in them.
At 17, in my freshman year, I bought lenses. Oh, it was something - after those awful glasses I had to wear. In general, I still wear them, for almost half my life, I use glasses to get from the bath to the bed.
Once again I thought about how many problems and cockroaches in my life I could have avoided if I had bought glasses that would suit me twenty years ago. Maybe she would still wear them with pride, and not with horror.
P.S. They also talk about lenses with enviable regularity. 80% when they find out: "Colored lenses, right? I thought (a) that this is not a real eye color!". Crap! Real color. And -7.5.

I've been wearing glasses since 5th grade and love them madly for helping me see the world.
I feel safe with glasses. As if there is a wall between me and this world that will protect me.

Minus 7, I've been wearing glasses since I was seven years old. Sometimes it becomes sad that I cannot see normally without them, but, alas.
And Harry Potter helped me to accept myself, I read books from the age of six, and then I had to wear glasses. And thanks to my class for not bullying me. Thank you directly.

From the age of seven, wearing glasses, given that even before that I had 2 noticeable scars on my body, glasses didn’t bother me so much, and then plates for straightening my teeth were added, so I remember my teenage years with horror. Now I could already switch to lenses, but I tried it once, and it seemed terribly uncomfortable to me, and besides, the glasses hide my bags under my eyes. For some reason, in childhood, everyone who saw me for the first time immediately thought that I was an excellent student - since I was wearing glasses, oh, how wrong they were.

I wore glasses for many years, because the lenses hurt my eyes terribly, until my then young man seriously beat me, crumpling my last pair in his fist. Lack of money, which did not allow to make new ones, the result - several weeks from minus 6 is equal to defenselessness and helplessness. No prices in the store, no bus number, no people's faces - you can't see anything. I swore I would never let myself be in that situation again. I had a painful operation, I began to see the world with my own eyes, without intermediaries, now my eyesight has fallen a little due to health, and occasionally I use glasses, for example, in museums, where I want to see the details. But the fear of being blind still looms nearby.

I also had surgery. Sometimes I dream that I see very badly and everything is blurry, brr.

But there are also pluses. Previously, everyone was teased by “nerds”, “bespectacled men”, “only “smart” people wear glasses”, but now there is no such thing, or very little.

Poor eyesight due to the heredity of the two sides and due to the colossal workload during the school years, plus the consequences of a birth injury. I have been wearing glasses since I was 13. Then the lenses were made to order for a complicated recipe, they picked up a beautiful purple frame, which I still use, only I change the lenses as needed. Who knows what vision, in different places they told me differently: some -4, some -5. One eye sees worse, but it does not change the essence. My grandmother stubbornly tried to instill a complex in me because of the glasses (they were given for them), although she herself yelled that glasses were vital to me when I did not ask for them. But I didn’t have complexes, I knew that I needed to see everything, I didn’t see the glasses that suited me, it’s okay, and then half the class wore glasses, if not more. And my best friend too. So it goes.

Vision began to deteriorate at school, but she began to wear glasses only after. At first I was shy, then I got used to it. Now I can't imagine my life without them. Glasses are a part of me. Love them. "We don't just use glasses as a vision aid or as a fashion accessory. That's our glasses club."

A friend once offended me because I didn’t say hello to her (honestly, I didn’t talk to me after that), I explained that if I wear glasses, this does not mean that I can see everything perfectly, for example, in the dark or at a great distance.
I also somehow broke my glasses right before going to work, the frame cracked right in the middle. When I came to work, they looked at me like I was an alien. And one girl even said, "Oh, you're so funny without glasses." What's so funny about me not seeing a damn thing?! Then I somehow finalized the shift, squinting constantly, then went crazy with a headache. Very funny, yes. Horror.
I've been wearing glasses for 6 years now, without taking them off, I can't live without them. And I feel that, unfortunately, my vision is deteriorating.

I've been wearing glasses for 4 years now and every time my mom takes a picture of me, she makes me take off my glasses. Both my mother and grandmother constantly say that I feel better without glasses. No matter how much I say that it is unpleasant for me to hear this, they only answer that it is true. Terribly embarrassing. Below is a photo with and without glasses. As far as I'm concerned, there's only one difference. With glasses, I see well and feel comfortable, because. I wear them all the time and I'm used to them. Without glasses, I feel like my mother used violence against me.

You wear your hipster glasses to hide your miserable inner world and inferiority complexes behind them.

Uh dude, I'll interrupt your speech, but I'm wearing them so I don't confuse you with the pole. But, perhaps, for your sake, I will take off my glasses so that I can continue to think that you are a pillar.

I have been wearing glasses for 7 years now.

It was wildly annoying at school when glasses are grabbed, taken without asking. And if I had a hearing aid, would they also behave like this?
In general, I like the way I look with glasses.
minus 2.

I was the one who said "it's a pity that I have one hundred percent vision, there is no reason to wear glasses", I always liked the look of my three girlfriends with glasses, first love, ex.
After depression, my vision deteriorated greatly. Either the muscles of the eyes relaxed, because tears flowed even when I did not want to cry, or maybe there was another reason. In general, my wish came true. And I'll say - oh, I wish I had my old vision. Now I can only see well up close, and then my eyes get tired, in the distance everything is blurry, I can hardly look out for the numbers at the traffic lights. There is no money for a visit to the doctor and the purchase of glasses. The situation in the city is not very good, there is almost no work, the search is moving slowly. That's how I live now, with a dream come true. Of course, I did it, I'll fix it, but, damn it. In general, appreciate your 100% vision while you have it! And there is nothing to envy in the lot of those who see poorly.

Everything is correct. This sacramental "Glasses suit you, why don't you love them ??" And here in general - they don’t go, as if I wear them for beauty at -6.

Vision began to fall even before school. Paternal inheritance plus cartoons that I adored (and still don’t mind watching). In elementary school, I sat on the 1st desk, I didn’t see it from the 2nd. In class 5, I had to order glasses, because. Haven't seen it since episode 1. I didn’t wear them all the time, I was afraid of ridicule. I only wear it to class and at home. In the 8th grade it got worse, she began to wear glasses all the time. There was not much ridicule, only from some classmates deprived of their minds.
In the 9th grade I got acquainted with lenses. Oh, it was a miracle. I saw every bug, every microbe, and life around is just teeming, oh, what a beautiful ant, every cloud, and the stars are so beautiful. Do people with good eyesight see all this every day and do not notice the beauty? She admired everything and everything, probably looked very strange from the outside. But every day it is difficult to be in lenses, my head hurts.
Now I don’t put on lenses so often anymore, I get by with glasses, only if I go in for sports, ride a horse, swim, etc., then I wear lenses. Now I even watch 3D movies over my glasses, my friend laughs all the time, kindly.

As for "let me try on", I don't. The glasses then fall off me, stretch, if everyone is allowed to try on, and then I suffer. Yes, and violation of personal boundaries. Only 1 time gave a friend to try on, tk. We are similar in physique, and a friend, a close person.
If they ask me to read the inscription, but I don’t see it and hear the answer “You’re wearing glasses, you must see!”, Then this drives me into depression. This means that I have poor eyesight and I was once again reminded of this, they dared to reproach, how could it be. At -8.5 it is not so easy to pick up glasses to see everything and everything! Or a hurdy-gurdy that it is now fashionable to wear glasses (and a person does not know or later finds out that his eyesight is bad). I am not obliged to report why I wear glasses, why such a frame, why not in lenses. What tactlessness!

But on the contrary, I perceive glasses not only as something with which I see (because the prospect of shoving something into the eye, and even burying some liquids there so that nothing dries out, scares me), but also, quite to myself, as an accessory. Probably, this comes from the desire to stand out from the crowd, because almost all of my friends have abandoned glasses in favor of lenses and now they talk that they don’t understand how they used to wear glasses! And I understand, because glasses are now produced in a variety of shapes and colors, and it's great to find exactly those in which you will feel comfortable, which will become part of you and your personality. A part that can be removed at any time, with whatever dirty hands you like, and for which you pay once every many years (I have been wearing my glasses for six years now), and not every month.

I bought myself a new eyeglass frame that I have been wanting for a long time. And yes, she is trendy. The most popular question is: do you have glass lenses or do you really have poor eyesight? I answer: I'm not an idiot, I just wear glasses like that. And again: are these real glasses? Oh yeah.

She wore glasses from early childhood and had a constant feeling of hostility towards them. No, not because of the value judgments "bespectacled" or "too smart." The glasses are too fragile, they constantly break, the glasses sweat, it is inconvenient to play sports. Gradually I switched to lenses, which gave me less inconvenience as a means of correcting vision. However, my eyesight continued to deteriorate, I had an operation two years ago, I only wear glasses to protect my eyes from the sun while driving.
I have never perceived glasses as an accessory - only as a functional essential.

I feel very sad because of the need, albeit not always, to wear glasses or lenses. For me, since childhood, they have been a cross between a crutch and an instrument of torture. No matter what frame you choose, your ears and bridge of your nose hurt. The lenses hurt my eyes, because I have them for a distance, but if you lower your eyes into a phone or a book, it is difficult to focus your vision. I feel that laser correction is my option.

I hate glasses - not at all because I care about someone else's opinion about them, besides, I myself like the way I look in glasses, but because they are terribly uncomfortable, my head starts to hurt from them. I have tried different frames though. But with -3, without means for vision, nowhere - you have to wear lenses, but caring for them is a waste of time, I would like laser correction, but it's scary.

I had to wear glasses from the age of 2. There was a terrible strabismus (one eye right at the bridge of the nose). And astigmatism. I think these are the consequences of asphyxia at birth (the umbilical cord around the neck) and heredity did their best.
In a sense, I was lucky, because. in kindergarten, children with bespectacles never teased me. Maybe because almost all of my adult life I was seen wearing glasses? But at school, name-calling began. In your yard. Just when walking around the city. "Bespectacled". Fortunately, from childhood I was a reasonable child with logical thinking, for example, at the age of 6 I taught myself not to be afraid of the dark: "If there really are monsters, they would have devoured everyone long ago and there would be no people left. Or everyone would know about monsters and talked about them. I said to myself: "Yes, I'm bespectacled. Because I wear glasses. And what's wrong with that? It's like if I poke my finger at that boy and say "keparik" because he wears a cap. Stupid" .
I have never cared what people think of me. I was a bookworm and lived in fantasy worlds, not reality. People, in the end, are tired of calling me "bespectacled", because. I did not react, did not take offense, but looked with bewilderment "so what?".
I've taken millions of points throughout my life. Some broke, some had to be changed due to improved vision. I had magnifying glasses, glasses with plastic lenses, round glasses, rectangular glasses, plastic frames, metal frames, whatever.
At the age of 19, doctors allowed me to take off my glasses: only 1 degree of strabismus remained, and astigmatism improved. I refused, although I can see well even without glasses: my right eye is the leading one, and now he has 100% vision.
People can’t understand why I won’t switch to lenses (as if it’s their business), and when they find out that the doctors have allowed me to take off my glasses, they generally go nuts.
And I? What about me. I've been wearing glasses since I was two years old and can't imagine myself without them. It's like cutting off your nose and then looking in the mirror and saying, "Something is missing." Without glasses, my self-identification is violated. I just don't recognize myself. I bought myself ordinary decorative glasses, without special ones. glasses, and wear them alternately with the old "sighted".
And finally, my pug. Maybe you will understand why without glasses I am a "stranger" for myself.

And I have some kind of stupid complex, that they say not only am I full, but also wearing glasses.
But without them, I’m like without hands, so I dream of laser correction and still wear it. I really like the lenses, but my eyes dry out and my head hurts.
Now I read the comments, and looked at the photos of the girls, and I wanted some new beautiful frames for myself.

I wear glasses when I read or write and I don't understand people who wear them unnecessarily. It's like the fashion for hearing aids or antibiotics.

Or when you bend over a plate of hot food. I was terribly frightened when I first started eating soup with glasses: everything was shrouded in white fog.

I have been wearing glasses since I was 10 years old, and have not parted with them for 6 years now. During this time, my vision managed to fall from ideal to -5. The last year and a half, thank God, keeps at the same level.
Sometimes it happens that I am embarrassed by them. I like myself better without glasses, because they hide my bright dark chocolate eyes a little. So, when I want to look pretty, dress up festively, I get the feeling that the glasses are superfluous.
But such hostility is rare, it is rather an exception, because I got used to them too much in 6 years. They have become an integral part of my daily appearance.

I have been wearing glasses for 10 years and I perceive them as part of myself, for example, like a nose or an ear.
My vision is -7. So without glasses, it's very difficult for me.
Sometimes I don't even recognize myself without glasses.

Don't listen to anyone and keep wearing it if you like. It's only your business.

It reminded me how some people came up and breathed on my glasses to make them fog up, it's so funny.

At our last job, a girl with glasses came to our practice. My former boss called me to her place and held a preventive conversation about the fact that the girl should not be allowed near the archive with cases, because "She's wearing glasses and can put things somewhere in the wrong place. We won't collect the archive later." She said this, looking into my eyes, which were wearing glasses. And then she added: “Well, I don’t tell you anything about glasses, you’re not like that. So wear them.”
Well, thank you! And then I was just waiting for your permission to see better. But it hurt me very much then, because she did not even condemn the appearance, but the quality of the work. I kept thinking that looking at me, my boss doubts my competence only because I am wearing glasses and can put something somewhere in the wrong place. I stopped wearing glasses. I sat with my nose in the monitor and practically laid down in the papers so that I could see better.
I haven’t been working for her for 1.5 years, and I still haven’t worn glasses because of the fear that at a new job they will doubt the quality of my work in the same way because of the presence of glasses.
By the way, the former boss was 59 years old at that time. It's a shame that I fell for it and worsened my eyesight due to some personal prejudices of a stranger to me.
Thank you for the wonderful articles and helping me to realize that everything is fine with me. I will wear glasses again.

I used to wear glasses, but they are terribly uncomfortable (plus my eyes swim to my nose because of wearing glasses), they simply interfere. And it’s much easier with lenses, it’s a pity that I sometimes forget to take them off before going to bed.

I wear glasses at home and when I need to work at a computer or read, more "strong" lenses on the street, while driving. Before, of course, she was shy, did not wear glasses and was in a fog. But the lenses are a nice thing - you see everything and there is no frame from the glasses, you just forget that they are like your own vision.

Do you have bad eyesight? Why don't you wear glasses? You would have gone.
- I don’t want to spoil my eyesight even more, so I wear night lenses.
- Well, I would wear it with transparent lenses!
And most importantly, if you wear round glasses with "ugly" frames and thick lenses, you will immediately be told to replace them.

Excuse me, may I ask, do you have keratoconus? My husband is suffering from it, he is not taking any measures yet.

Fortunately, no. I wish you good luck with your treatment, it's very difficult.

Just yesterday, I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, reading something on the telephone Wikipedia. A woman literally gets into my face: "And so in glasses, so also in the phone!" Why the hell do outsiders care? Maybe she wanted to hear about heredity, glasses from the age of 5, surgery at 10 and everything else? But no, she probably thought that she was doing good, spewing out her banality.
Fortunately, I learned to immediately shave off such tactlessness and all this talk about lenses - what is your minus, and what, you don’t see at all without glasses, and why don’t you do the operation? And at least one of those who asked was ready to pay for this operation at all, since they bake like that.

I still keep all my old frames and my favorite, bought in the first class - large square checkered glasses.

Vision -2. They say to me, "So it's a very small minus, you can walk without glasses, you get them more for show-off than for vision!"
And it’s like nothing that I don’t recognize people on the street without glasses until they almost come close to me. Ponies, how.

Grandmother said that when she was prescribed glasses in her youth, all her friends said that it suits her that way.

I was wildly surprised by the reaction of one person: "But it turns out that you have poor eyesight? I thought that you wear it for beauty."
Or "Oh, but I see in your glasses, you don't have them for sight, but just like that."
Well, of course, they still know better than me why I wear glasses. They made a fetish of some kind of essentially healing item.

I have been wearing glasses since I was 14, I have never had complexes and I don’t intend to, and to my surprise, everyone in the class reacted normally. True, it always infuriates when they ask to try on, take a picture.

A question that is asked 100 times a day by strangers: "Why are you wearing glasses?"
Well, I don’t even know, damn it, why did I wear them?

I remembered:
It's not enough to be smart to wear glasses. You also need to see badly.

Minus 7. I started wearing glasses from the 10th grade, when it was -4. And vision fell from 1 to 0.2 in the 1st grade against the background of high fever and convulsions with the flu.
Now mostly in lenses, because. the child grew up, and I had to forget about the glasses. Oh those pens.

I started wearing glasses at the age of 25 (due to constant work at the computer and with documents in small print), and before that I did not realize for a long time that I had myopia, and that this was not a conspiracy of the creators of street signs and signs - to write everything in small print and my own vision problems. I heard for a long time that with non-critical myopia (obviously, when you don’t bump into people and objects), it’s better not to wear anything to correct your vision, it, they say, will only deteriorate, so I walked before my vision was gone -2.5 and -3 . Since I chose the frame for a very long time and carefully, at first a wave of compliments fell upon me, the most dubious of which: "You began to look smarter, kinder, more interesting!" (without glasses, I probably look like an evil fool), as well as regrets (as if, having put on glasses and admitting that my eyesight was really not so hot, I immediately “put an end to myself”). As a result, I also wear lenses, but they are disposable and, if necessary, when it is inconvenient to wear glasses, and I immediately get "you feel better in glasses." Haven't found better glasses yet.

Here I remembered my friend who wanted to buy glasses "for the image." I have -3, I hate them, but I have to wear them for a distance. You can’t run in them, you won’t lead an active lifestyle.

I can't see beyond my outstretched hand. I bought myself with my mother's help a beautiful rayban frame. It was stolen from my old job. I am a designer, and 20 photographers pass by the table. No one knew where my glasses were. So I've been going without glasses for a year now. Either I spend all the money on treatment, or I spend it on something more important. And my eyes are in spasm, they hurt a lot. And someone in my frame flaunts.

Maman forgot her glasses on a bench at the bus station. I came back for them in 15 minutes. Someone apparently turned out to be much more needed, a pity for the money spent on an expensive frame and even more expensive glasses.

My vision went bad in the 3rd grade, or even not. Perhaps, in middle school, I already had -3, when the doctors generally noticed that the child had poor eyesight. My mother cuckoo was never interested enough in my health to do anything about it earlier. In 11th grade my vision was -5 and I had just started putting on my glasses when I looked at the blackboard on tests. I didn’t wear glasses, perhaps my vision wouldn’t have deteriorated so much if I (and actually my mother, but then I blamed myself for everything) would have come to my senses earlier. Now I am 31, after more than 10 years I began to wear glasses again (-7.5, before -8), and before that I wore lenses for many years. I plan to continue to wear glasses, because the muscles work in them (you can take them off, give your eyes a rest). Plus, paying 600 rubles for lenses every month is expensive for me. And with glasses, I look intelligent, which I am. Cons: they fog up (although the seller said that they don’t fog up, but I fell off for 5000 points) and I see far from 100% in them. Well, at least the car will not crush, and thanks for that. By the way, misogynists themselves are eliminated, it seems to me, from the social circle, because for them I am "ugly".

Even grandmothers annoyed me with their “you have young eyes, look” when she wore lenses.

Perfect vision. I have several pairs of glasses of different shapes, because I think that they decorate and give an interesting twist. I change for different looks. And what, is it bad that I like to use them as an accessory? I never considered glasses to be something shameful. The last and penultimate paragraph seem to be directed against those girls who like to wear glasses just like that. I do not understand. My personal opinion.

Without glasses, you are all colorful blurs to me. I used to constantly wear lenses, but my ex-husband changed my attitude towards glasses, constantly said that they suit me, affectionately called me a bespectacled man. Now no remarks about glasses touch me, thanks to his cute "bespectacled man", sometimes I laugh at others who say that it's better without glasses, I say: "Tell me thank you that I'm wearing them when I'm driving, and you go road."

What do you think about glasses?

Today, glasses as an element of the finished image are at the peak of popularity. Previously, people with poor eyesight were embarrassed to wear them and tried to solve their problem with lenses. Now that this accessory has become fashionable, even those who are in good health wear it. For this category of people, glasses with transparent glasses were specially invented that do not affect vision in any way.

With the help of a well-chosen form, you can visually correct facial features. However, if the glasses frame was chosen incorrectly, such an accessory can ruin the whole image.

Accessory Benefits

Decorative glasses with transparent glasses are a fashionable and stylish accessory that can profitably adjust your appearance, namely:

make bruises under the eyes less noticeable;
visually enlarge the eyes;
save makeup in snowy and rainy weather.

In addition, glasses with large frames can visually reduce the nose. As you can see, with the help of such an accessory, you can radically change the appearance of a person, as well as emphasize his individuality and add a little mystery.

All lovers of wearing such an accessory are interested in whether it is harmful. Some doctors say that fashion glasses with transparent glasses are safe and cannot affect vision in any way. Other experts claim that if you look constantly through the glass, then your eyes can get used to it.

Also, microcracks can occur on the glasses, which will cause discomfort to the eyes, so vision will begin to deteriorate over time. If poor quality lenses are inserted into fashion glasses, they can also cause headaches, constant fatigue and visual impairment.

The safest glasses are those designed for people who work a lot at the computer. They help reduce eye strain. However, such an accessory must also have high-quality lenses.

Despite the fact that the opinions of doctors about the dangers and benefits of glasses differ slightly, they agreed on one thing: it is not recommended to wear glasses with transparent glasses all the time.

What are the frames

When creating an image with fashion glasses, the main thing is that all its elements are in harmony with each other. Reviews about such an accessory are almost always unambiguous: glasses have sunk deep into the soul of both men and women, and some fans of this accessory even have several pairs. Of course, there are also negative customer reviews, but they are more related not to the accessory itself as a whole, but to the manufacturing company: consumers complain about the quality of the lenses. That is why it is worthwhile to carefully approach the choice of accessory in order to look stylish without compromising health.

The concept of women's business style appeared in the 19th century, when women began to enter the world of men's business. The presence of intellectual abilities and business acumen does not depend on gender, but at that time, in order to prove their self-sufficiency and competence to male merchants, women began to choose clothes tailored according to the principles of a classic men's suit. This is how the concept of the image of a business lady gradually developed, which in our time includes not only a well-thought-out wardrobe, neat hair and makeup, but also impeccably matched accessories - scarves, jewelry, bags, belts, watches, pens, business card holders and, of course, glasses. The purpose of the glasses is to complement the image as a whole. Surrounding people should see, first of all, your smart penetrating eyes in a stylish frame, and not the frame and you behind it.

glasses shape

Classic. A win-win option, especially for those who have difficulty choosing the shape of glasses. Of course, for business style there is only a classic. Many stylists recommend that everyone should have such glasses, regardless of preferences. There are many classic options for every face shape.

"Drops". It is also a universal form, it suits many, but not every style. Casual is the best option for this.

Oval, with a slight rise at the top. They are recommended for owners of a rectangular face shape.

Small glasses with rounded edges. These can be worn by people with a triangular face shape.

In a round frame. Strongly contraindicated for girls and men with round faces. They can be worn by owners of ideal oval shapes.

Rectangular glasses. They just fit chubby people, compensate for disproportion.

A little about the frame

The effect of a well-chosen accessory shape can be ruined by an absurd frame. Everything plays a role - from its thickness to color. To quickly determine the shade, at the very beginning of the fitting, you need to wear glasses in black, white and red frames. Next, you need to select in the range of the tone that fits best. The most universal, by right, is black.

Color frames are the choice of brave people who are not afraid to emphasize their individuality. It is easier to choose the right color for those who have a certain range of tones prevailing in their wardrobe.

There is a large selection of glasses with transparent frames. They look impressive and very stylish. Thanks to this, this accessory has become very popular among young people.

Disadvantages and advantages of transparent glasses

There are many advantages to this type of product:

they can hide some imperfections on the skin,
emphasize the style of a person,
many models are equipped with eye protection from ultraviolet radiation or are designed to work at a computer,
transparent glasses, like all others, protect the eyes from dust and sand from the street, raised by the wind.

Such an accessory can radically change the image of a person, improve his appearance, emphasize the beauty of the face and hide some of the flaws in its shape.

Unfortunately, transparent glasses also have their own significant drawback. If they do not have a corrective lens and it is replaced by ordinary glass (in fashion accessories), then over time this can adversely affect eye health. The thing is that the frame becomes an obstacle to lateral vision. A person always has to turn his head in one direction or another. Therefore, ophthalmologists advise wearing such glasses only from time to time.

Separately about the quality of a fashion accessory

If there is no money for a beautiful branded model of a proven brand, it is better not to buy glasses at all.

There are reasons for this:

Glasses must be of high quality and perform their intended function well - cheap materials that they like to replace them with spoil vision.

All other elements should be of the same high quality - frames, fasteners. Unscrupulous manufacturers often save on them, and this leads to rapid wear of the product.

In company stores, when buying a model with a sun protection layer, it can be checked on a special device that confirms the quality. Markets or other outlets do not provide this option. Moreover, this must be checked on products with a polarizing filter. They should well darken the sun glare, improve visibility.

It should be understood that the price of high-quality glasses without a corrective lens, without protection from ultraviolet light should start from 1500 rubles.

In stores, the client can often be offered models from different companies, which will also differ in pricing policy. The consultant should be asked about the quality of all elements separately. One manufacturer may have a better quality lens, while another may have a more durable frame and arch support. Men's glasses usually cost a little more. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of models for driving behind the wheel.

When purchasing a non-certified, cheap model, you need to be prepared for the fact that the glasses will soon become unusable.

How to extend the life of clear glasses?

In order for the accessory to be worn for a long time and not lose its original appearance, you need to remember a few simple rules:

you can't wear it on your head. This stretches the arcs, spoils the fasteners. After such a wear, the glasses do not sit well on the nose;
you need to protect the glasses from any mechanical impact - do not throw the glasses into the bag and generally do not leave them anywhere without a special protective case. This accessory will prevent scratches. As you know, even a few of these minor injuries can adversely affect a person’s vision. Moreover, glasses with scratches simply lose their attractive appearance;
Carry a soft, lint-free cloth with you to wipe your glasses. This is necessary to clean the lenses from street dust, grains of sand, fingerprints.

Transparent glasses have become a favorite addition to the image of many people of all ages. Round, rectangular or square - they fit well both in a strict business style and in a fashionable casual one. Now there is a fairly wide selection of both shapes and frames of various colors. Therefore, even the most demanding admirers of glasses can choose a good model.

In order for the accessory to serve for a long time and not cause vision loss, you need to follow the manufacturer's instructions for caring for it.
