    Picking Out the Best Eyewear Frames (A Quick Guide for Men)

    A Helpful Guide for Men Searching for Designer Reading Glasses

    More than 6 out of every 10 people in America wear glasses or contacts, but many of these folks do not wear the most stylish frames – or anything close! Many men report that they appreciate a little help in choosing the right frames for their glasses. Here are three tried and true tips for men choosing designer reading glasses that will meet your aesthetic needs:

    • When in doubt, opt for black frames. Thick, black plastic frames have become more and more popular with men, especially after being worn by celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Lebron James, and Johnny Depp. This classic and sophisticated look is perfect for general use or designer reading eyewear.

      • Choose the right shape. Round, square, and rectangular glasses can all work; just make sure that whatever style you choose fits your face. If you're buying your first pair of glasses, choose smaller frames. After people get used to seeing you with glasses, you can buy larger frames if you prefer.
      • Consider tortoiseshell for some eccentricity. These frames add some color; just make sure they don't include too much yellow or orange in the pattern. The frames of your glasses should accentuate your features, not stand out on their own.

        The Struggle of Applying Makeup When You Need Reading Glasses

        Reading glasses can be a lifesaver, whether you’re a devoted bookworm or you just need the visual assistance to browse the web or do your job. However, up-keeping your appearance can be challenging if you need reading glasses. Whether you’re farsighted or you suffer from a condition like presbyopia, you may have a hard time applying makeup, especially around the eyes.

        How can you always look your best? One option is to opt for contact lenses, but obtaining prescription contacts can be expensive and the process can take a long time.

        Makeup Readers Are The Solution For Many Women

        An alternative solution is to wear makeup glasses. These glasses let you to work on each eye, one at a time, by alternating the lens during the makeup application process. While one eye can see with correct vision (thanks to the glasses), you can apply your eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and other touches to the opposite eye. You don’t need prescription lenses or an eye exam to wear these. I Heart Eyewear offers makeup readers in 4 color combinations in the following strengths: +1.00, +1.50, +2.00, +2.50, +3.00, and +3.50.

        You might want to obtain multiple pairs of makeup glasses for your car, office, and your home. Never apply makeup in your car while driving (or even while stopped in traffic), since this act can be a dangerous distraction. Wait until you get to a safe stopping point.

        Why You Should Wear Sunglasses All Year Long

        why you should wear sunglasses in the winter

        The Importance of Wearing Sunglasses in the Winter

        Wearing bifocal sunglasses in the winter to protect your eyes may seem somewhat paradoxical. After all, once the blistering sun of summer fades to the cooler and less taxing sun of winter, shouldn’t you be able to go outside and enjoy the sun with impunity?

        Unfortunately, this myth – that sunglasses are only needed during the warmer seasons – is pretty destructive. The truth is that harmful UV rays from the sun, the ones that cause eyestrain and eye damage and pave the way for problems like cataracts, stream from our nearest star all year long. They don’t take a “break” during winter. In fact, if you go out skiing or head to a place with substantial snow cover, you must contend with a double-whammy of UV rays. First, you must deal with UV rays emanating from the sun itself. Second, you have to process the UV rays that bounce off the snow and reflect into your eyes.

        If you’re a skier or a snowboarder, you know that you need to wear substantial sun protection on your skin, if you’re going to be on the snow-topped mountain all day, even if it’s below freezing outside. The ambient temperature has nothing to do with the risk for sunburn or dangerous sun exposure. Obviously, you’ll be less likely to burn your back and chest, because you’ll be wearing heavy clothing. But your eyes will still be just as exposed as when you are frolicking on the beach.

        Sunglasses can also provide protection against dust, debris and ambient pollution that can cause irritating symptoms like dry eye syndrome, which affects millions of people every winter.

        Plus, wearing the right sunglasses can seriously add to your fashion cache, too!
