All About Eyeglasses

There are four major parts to eyeglasses: temples, frames, hinges and lenses. All of these parts are made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic and titanium. This affects weight, fit and quality.

Eyeglass lenses are usually made from plastic. This makes the glasses less prone to breakage, as well as making the glasses flexible and lightweight. In addition, high-index plastic lenses are thinner and flatter than conventional plastic lenses and are a good choice for people with strong prescriptions, as they reduce the thickness of the lens necessary for strong prescriptions.

There are a wide variety of lenses, including polycarbonate lenses, which are lighter than regular plastic ones. They are impact-resistant and considered the best choice for people involved in sports. Scratch resistant lenses are covered in a protective coating, and are an excellent option for children and adults alike. Anti-reflective lenses help reduce glare and reflections. Photochromatic lenses, otherwise known as transition lenses, darken when exposed to sunlight and lighten indoors.

Women's Eyeglasses

Women's eyeglasses and frames come in thousands of shapes, sizes and styles to suit many budgets and tastes. To help you select the frames that are right for you, consider the following:

• Is there a style of frame you have in mind - delicate, bold, modern?
• Will you wear this set of frames all the time? Lots of women have more than one set of eyeglasses - one for work, one for home, one for going out.
• What colors do you like? What goes well with your hair, your skin, your face's shape?
• What type of frames are most comfortable? Will plastic eyeglass frames, versus metal eyeglass frames, feel and look better?

Men's Eyeglasses

According to The Vision Council, fit and durability are more important to men than women when choosing a pair of eyeglasses. That's not to say looks aren't important to a man as well, but here's some tips on getting the best fit:

Make sure they're not too tight or too loose; pinching your ears or nose, or sliding down your nose. Are the nose pads comfortable? Do the hinges close easily? Are the glasses too wide, causing them to slide off your face?

Kid's Eyeglasses

There are more choices than ever before for kid's eyeglasses. Popular TV, movie and cartoon characters have been the inspiration for many kid's eyeglass frames, including Harry Potter, Barbie and SpongeBob SquarePants. Beyond looking cool, parents can rest assured knowing many manufacturers of children's eyeglasses have incorporated such features as spring hinges, strong and flexible frame materials and impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses to help protect your child's eyes, as well as ensure you get the most for your money.
