If you’re restless with anticipation of what the New Year will bring, waiting for the diet and detox to kick in, why not think about an easy and quick way to achieve that exciting new look – re-think your eye wear!
Dyed-in-the-wool contact lens patients might want to take the plunge and try going back to glasses for change. Frames are funky and more affordable then ever, and even non-prescription wearers are using specs just as an accessory. You can be studious, flirty, sparkly or serious with the right frame, and it will give your eyes a rest after the excesses of the party season. Thin material lenses make specs look good and feel more comfortable, so don’t be put off by heavy or unsightly specs you’re had in the past.
For spec wearers who want an update, up size to be on trend this new season. Go squarer, bolder, and bigger for a trendy look, with a unisex look for maximum style. Gone are weedy skinny metals, thankfully this is a fashion that’s practical! Bigger shapes are more comfortable for driving as you’re less aware of the edges, and will cover a multitude of sins as they draw attention away from crow’s feet and eye bags!
If you wear glasses but would like to try contact lenses, speak to your optician about the options available to you. Nowadays 99.9% of the population can wear lenses, so don’t think that your astigmatism or need for reading glasses will prevent you from wearing lenses. There are masses of lens materials, wear regimes and choices, and one will suit you, for part time or full time wear. Keep specs as a back up, or for work wear, and enjoy lenses for socialising or sport.
You may not have considered it but new eye wear can be life changing – from allowing you to make the most of your sight for a job or hobby, to simply boosting your confidence. Make a change and you’ll soon see the difference!!
