Spring is a season of sprouting everything, not only flowers and plants sprout new life, people’s desire to shop is also around the corner.

In the past two days, classmates have come to me for glasses, and some of them have already bought frames. The picture is sent to see that it is a very fashionable , style-round fram long nose spacing, thin frame, it is the popular retro frame in the past two years, after wearing it, it can cover the upper half of the cheek. The owner of the frame is a girl, she looks very cute and cute.

From the perspective of the style of such a frame, when the decorative frame is worn on the face, there is nothing wrong with it, but if it is equipped with a high number of lenses, it is simply a disaster. Due to her high myopia and anisometropia (the power gap between the two eyes is large), even with high refractive index lenses (the higher the refractive index, the thinner the lenses), the overall effect will not be very good. After the lens is fitted, because the frame is very thin, more parts of the lens are exposed. Because the frame is large and the area of the remaining lenses is large, the overall weight of the glasses is relatively heavy. In addition, her anisometropia and interpupillary distance are too small, so the edge thickness of the lens is even greater, and the thickness of the two sides is not consistent… from the front, it may not be so obvious, from the edge, I can’t bear to look straight.

Therefore, glasses with a good-looking frame may not work well with lenses. So, in addition to choosing good-looking, fashionable, and suitable face styles, what other issues should we pay attention to when choosing a frame?

Don’t just look at the style when choosing a frame

First of all, let’s talk about an important point. Don’t simply choose the frame according to the face shape introduced on the Internet. It is just a reference. The key is to consider the specific glasses parameters comprehensively.

A pair of glasses that are comfortable to wear, perfect optical performance, and qualified overall aesthetics need to be considered in a comprehensive range of parameters, including the weight of the frame, the refractive index of the lens, the individual’s interpupillary distance, pupil height, frame style, size, and face shape.

Learn more about the ignored frame parameters

This simple picture frame diagram shows several more important frame parameters. When buying a frame, it is very important to know more about these parameters.

Frame

The larger the frame shape of the frame, the larger the area of the remaining lenses and the overall weight of the glasses will increase. If the degree is higher, the thickness will be relatively more obvious.

Middle bridge of the nose

The wider the bridge of the nose, the larger the processing size calculated together with the frame. If the interpupillary distance is relatively small, the lens will have to be moved too much (increasing the center shift) because the distance between the pupil center and the processing center is too far, which will eventually result in too thick the edge of the lens, and even the situation that cannot be processed.

Temple

The length of the temples determines whether your glasses can be hung on your ears to balance the weight. The width of the temples will also affect the overall wearing comfort.

Nose pads

Generally, the frame is divided into two types: movable nose pads and integral nose pads. The plate racks are mostly integral nose pads and cannot be adjusted. This is very unfriendly to friends who do have not very three-dimensional nose bridges. They will slide down when you bring them up, while the movable nose pads The frame can be adjusted comfortably by adjusting the nose pads.

The parameter information of the various spectacle frames mentioned above is generally marked on the temples, bridge of the nose, or lining, so it is easy to find.

Avoid the trap of choosing a mirror

In addition, we also need to avoid the following pitfalls when choosing frames:

1

Choose a frame that is too large carefully

It has been explained above that the size of the frame and the interpupillary distance will affect the processing effect. A frame that is too large will not only make the edges of the glasses unsightly but will also make the glasses heavier and uncomfortable because of the large number of remaining lenses. Not to mention the pressure of the nose, it will frequently slide down, causing the glasses to be placed down, the pupil height is high, and the lower edge is too large, which is stuck on the cheek, which not only affects the field of vision and clarity, but also looks like wearing reading glasses. No fashion flavor.

If you have a low degree or choose to wear contact lenses with a frame, you can feel free to style.

2

Choose rimless glasses rationally

The biggest headache for people with a higher power is the thickness of the lens. Even if the lens with the highest refractive index is used, the edge thickness is still unsatisfactory. The full-frame spectacle frame can also cover some thickness to a certain extent, while the half-frame and rimless spectacles will completely expose the thickness of the lens, which is very unsightly.

Since astigmatism requires a stable axial position, try not to choose rimless lenses, because rimless lenses lack sufficient and effective stability. Once the screws are loose and are not dealt with in time, the axial deviation will occur, which will affect wearing comfort.

Therefore, people with high myopia and astigmatism must choose rimless glasses rationally. Of course, some big brands of rimless glasses choose a very stable fixing method so that they can be matched.

Lighter glasses and less pressure on the bridge of your nose

Friends who wear glasses must have had the experience of reddening the bridge of the nose. This is not only related to the total weight of the lens of the frame but also has a certain relationship with the design of the frame and the length of the temples. If the design of the frame does not take into account the balance of the front and rear frames, then after adding the lenses, the front will be heavy and the back will be light, resulting in all the weight being pressed on both sides of the nose, leaving a red mark.

So when we choose the frame, we must first consider the weight of the frame, and then add the weight of the two lenses. The total weight of glasses currently on the market is generally about 15 to 30 grams. Wearing glasses of more than 25 grams for a long time will feel oppressive, so when choosing a frame, it is best to choose a frame with lighter materials and not too exaggerated style, especially for people with a higher power.

Don’t blindly follow suit

The weight of the glasses in the picture below is 74 grams, and there are no nose pads, and anyone who has worn them has not said that they are comfortable.

Almost every celebrity wears sunglasses. Many friends think that the sunglasses worn by celebrities are very good-looking, so they consulted everywhere to buy the same glasses.

But before buying and buying, we need to clarify a few issues.

First of all, many celebrities’ glasses are not purchased by themselves, but provided by manufacturers, as product advertisements, so you have to wear them if you are comfortable or uncomfortable. Sometimes you even need to change several glasses under a section list. Secondly, most celebrities just wear a frame or a pair of sunglasses, and when we wear glasses, we also need to match our own power with additional lenses. Sometimes the frames themselves are pretty good-looking, and thick lenses will become very embarrassing. Not only does it feel uncomfortable to wear, but it also doesn’t look fashionable before.

If you look good or not, you have to know it in your heart

All along, various guides for selecting lenses on the Internet have emerged one after another, not only text version, picture version, and even video version. But these guides often only talk about styles, not about professionalism. The glasses selected by many friends according to these guidelines are not very suitable, but there are still uncomfortable wearing glasses. So, what kind of frame is considered good-looking?

This depends on your own aesthetic qualities. In general, don’t choose round frames for fat faces and round faces; don’t choose too square frames for occidental faces and big cheeks; for long faces, you can consider everything except for narrow frames. When choosing the line of the frame, you need to make a decision based on the shape of your facial features. If the facial features look softer, you can choose a frame with a thicker line to boost your aura; if you look sharp, you can choose a frame with a thinner line. In the choice of color, unless it is to match certain clothes and attend some special occasions, do not choose particularly bright colors lightly.

Keep the above points in mind, and then bring your friends and girlfriends to advise together when choosing the lens, listen to their opinions more, I believe you will soon find a style that suits you.

Be sure to try it on

We are not opposed to online glasses, but judging from the above-mentioned parameters, whether it is weight, temple length, frame size or wearing comfort, you must personally wear it before you can decide.

No matter how good the glasses you see in the picture, if you really wear them on your face, there may be problems like this. Therefore, if you have the conditions, try your best to try it on yourself before buying to ensure that you get the most comfortable product to wear.

Finally, I hope this alternative lens selection guide can help you choose suitable, comfortable, and beautiful new glasses.
