Men Glasses & Face Shapes

Posted under Glasses by admin on Friday 31 July 2009 at 4:19 am

Nowadays, glasses have become an indispensable fashion item of fashion men; you may not neglect lenses, to select a frame suitable for yourself is enough! The spectacle eyeglass frames which have a brand design are generally not too bad, but the most important thing is to choose your own appropriate frame. The “appropriate” includes: comfort, lenses strength (thickness), your job (whether there is intense movement or not), skin tone, face shape and even hair style and your beard.

In general, glasses frames have many different forms and styles, which can be, on the whole, separated into three categories: full frame, sub-frame, and rimless. Their shapes include pear-shaped, droplet-shaped, oval, egg, square shape or polygon, etc. which are basically evolved from the square and round.

In the choice of men glasses, try to avoid selecting frames that are too much similar with your face, so as not to over-emphasize the lines of your face.

If your face is square-shaped, you should choose wider frame, so that your face will appear slightly more slender.

If your face is round-shaped, the frame with an angle or quadrate frame will be conducive to the modification of your facial lines.

As you know, face shapes determine the shape of frames. First of all, please carefully observe your face, and take a look at where is higher and where is more flat. When in the choice of frames, you would face the opposite situation. For instance, a very round face may not be suitable for wearing round glasses.

You may as well try on various frames on yourself. By doing so, you may be able to find a surprise as a result.

In general, there are two types of colors: orange-based warm colors and blue-based cool colors. The majority of people would like to choose the frames that are in consistent with their skin tones. Those with darker complexions had better choose the darker frames, such as bright red and black ones, but fairer-skinned people shall choose light color frames, such as silver and soft pink. Generally speaking, to choose suitable glasses color rests on what your skin tone is.

As a rule, men glasses are often made of common metal alloy, high-nickel alloy metal frame, lightweight titanium or titanium alloy metal frame, ordinary plastic injection molding frame, sheet plastic frame, carbon frame and metal-plastic hybrid frame. All these frames with different materials have different characteristics. For instance, although high-nickel alloy metal frame is cheap and has a high flexibility, some men are prone to be allergy when wearing such material frames. Thus, when men choose frames, their materials also need to be taken into consideration in case that they are not suitable for some people.

In a word, in the choice of men eyeglasses, every factor should be considered carefully, not only the face shape, skin tone, but the specific time, occasion, hair and beard and even the age.


About Glasses

Posted under Glasses by admin on Tuesday 28 July 2009 at 7:21 am

We wear glasses every day, but how much do we know glasses. Perhaps most of the near-sighted don鈥檛 know much about glasses. The prescription glasses have brought much convenience to us every day, and it is necessary for us to know something more about them.

“Glasses” can also be the plural of “glass”. In fact, glass has many meanings. When we refer to glass, it is even more common as it is used everywhere. Glass can be referred to the kind of material, which is usually transparent and hard. Something that are made of glass can also be called glass. But when we talk about glasses, we usually mean the glasses we wear every day.

Glasses, which can also be called eyeglasses or spectacles, are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays. Modern glasses are typically supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and by temples placed over the ears. Historical types include the pince-nez, monocle, lorgnette, and scissors-glasses.

Eyeglass frames are commonly made from metal or plastic. Lenses were originally made from glass, but many are now made from various types of metal plastic, including CR-39 and polycarbonate. These materials reduce the danger of breakage and weigh less than glass lenses. Some plastics also have more advantageous optical properties than glass, such as better transmission of visible light and greater absorption of ultraviolet light. Some plastics have a greater index of refraction than most types of glass; this is quite useful in the making of corrective lenses shaped to correct various vision abnormalities such as myopia, allowing thinner lenses for a given prescription. Newer plastic lenses, which are called izon, can also correct for the higher order aberrations that naturally occur in the surface of our eye. These lenses create sharper vision for the people who have problems with sight and help with the halos, starbursts, and comet-tails often associated with night time driving glare. Scratch-resistant coatings can be applied to most plastic lenses giving them similar scratch resistance to glass. Hydrophobic coatings designed to ease cleaning are also available, as are anti-reflective coatings intended to reduce glare, improve night vision and make the wearer’s eyes more visible.

As with the time, glasses making has developed much from the very beginning. Now, there are many kinds of glasses which have different functions, such as reading glasses,many new materials has been adopted to make better glasses.

The best Gucci eyeglasses that make you feel comfortable

Posted under Gucci by admin on Monday 20 July 2009 at 9:39 am

Whether we are talking about Gucci eyeglasses , the choice of the frames will usually be imperative for the glasses to look good on your face. Of course, when you go to a regular store to check the designer eyeglasses available, if you have the time, you can allot it to trying on every pair on which you set your eyes. However, if you opt for the more comfortable alternative of purchasing your eyeglasses from an online store, you will need a few guidelines on how to choose the frames for your perfect Gucci depending on the shape of your face.

Essentially, the faces you will meet will enter one of seven categories, namely oval, round, lozenge, base-up triangle, base-down triangle, diamond and square. If you know in which category in you can include your face, you will most likely be able to choose perfectly the desired pair of聽 Gucci eyeglasses. Let us start with oval faces. The oval face meets the requirements of the perfect shape 鈥 mainly because proportions are in a faultless equilibrium on such faces. If you want to preserve this sense of equilibrium, it is preferable to choose frames as broad as the broadest part of the face. Oval faces will look good with a pair of Gucci eyeglasses featuring a small nose bridge, for instance.

Round faces flaunt rounded lines with the distance across and distance end to end in similar percentages; such faces do not put angles on view. The effect you are looking for is a longer face. Search for a pair of with pointed fine frames 鈥 this will create the desired outcome. Rectangular frames may also set your face in a favorable light, contributing to the same effect of a longer face.

A base-up triangle-shaped face should search for manners of diminishing the broadness of the superior part, as it is obviously wider in this top area. While browsing our collection of Gucci eyeglasses, you need to scan it for frames that are visibly broader at the basis. In addition, light colored frames will make your face appear less wide near the top, as they create an open illusion, reducing from the openness of the face.

For faces in the form of a base-down triangle, the opposite 鈥 contrasting eyeglass frames for a base-up triangle-shaped face 鈥 stands correct and preferable. This means that color is welcome in such eyeglass frames. Even more, you can focus on the superior part of the frame 鈥 you can even opt for something ornamental in this area. Faces in the shape of diamond will cope reasonably with the same indications available for triangle-shaped faces. However, attention should also be paid to eyeglass frames that can draw attention to the eyes. Opting for the rimless alternative is a reliable pick.

To what concerns square faces, you are looking for eyeglasses that can make them appear longer than they are. Broadness of the eyeglass frames is the thing you are searching for, as it should draw the attention from the natural broadness of the face by concealing it. Do not choose very thick frames 鈥 they do not create the aimed at length effect; on the contrary, they tend to make the face appear shorter, which is not advisable for this particular shape.

In the end, whether you opt for Gucci eyeglasses, it is important to remember two essential components that should guide your decision: frame and face. For both of them, shape is the central concern. When you know what shape your face is, you certainly know the type of frame that will suit it best.

Give an elegant touch to your appearance by choosing聽 Gucci eyeglasses and matching them with the natural loveliness of your face.


Sunglasses,are you protected?

Posted under Glasses by admin on Tuesday 14 July 2009 at 2:29 pm

Sunglasses aren鈥檛 just fashion accessories anymore. They are a necessary protection for your eyes. Most consumers know about the danger of sun exposure to the skin, but many are unaware that the sun鈥檚 rays can damage the eyes. To correctly shield the eyes, the consumer has to know how to select the right type of sunglasses, since wearing the wrong brand actually causes more damage than not wearing glasses at all. Glassesshop.com (GS) would be more then happy to shed some light on the right to look for 鈥淚N鈥 shades.

According to GS of EyeCare 20/20, tinted glasses without UV protection cause more harm than wearing no glasses at all. It is important to look for sunshades with the clear protector which blocks harmful ultraviolet light. GS, 鈥淲hen light is cut out, your pupil dilates in order to let more light into the visual system. Tinted glasses without UV protection spell trouble because they let more harmful UV rays into the dilated pupil.鈥

Individuals can protect their eyes by simply wearing sunglasses that block out 99 to 100 percent of UV. Such glasses protect the eye from both UVA-and the more harmful-UVB rays. Studies show that exposure to ultraviolet light can contribute to a number of ocular complications, including: photokeratitis or 鈥渟now blindness鈥, cataracts, pterygium (an abnormal growth on the eye鈥檚 surface), macular degeneration and even cancer.

Sunglasses provide one of the best sources of UV protection,鈥 GS. 鈥淲hile some UV-absorbing contact lenses are now available, they do not provide adequate protection and should not replace sunglasses. Sunglasses are still needed to cover the entire eye area, including eyelids.鈥

Here is a list of tips for purchasing sunglasses:

1. Check for the OSHA label with 99 or 100 percent UV protection.

2. Look for sunglasses that are close-fitting. These will prevent UV rays from filtering in.

3. Look for larger lenses or wrap-around sunglasses to prevent light from entering in.

4. Don鈥檛 be misguided by price 鈥 higher priced sunglasses usually reflect fashion or durability, not UV protection.

5. Dark-colored sunglasses don鈥檛 necessarily provide better protection. A clear chemical coating applied to the lens is responsible for UV protection, not the lens color.

6. UV-absorbing contact lenses should not be used as substitutes for sunglasses.

According to GS it is never too early to wear sunglasses. 鈥淩emember, your sunglasses will not make you look better, see more comfortably or protect your eyes when they are in your purse, your pocket or on the dashboard of your car. Get in the habit of putting them on whenever you are in the sun鈥 adds GS.
