Glasses can completely change the way you look. Choosing the right pair is very important. You can also choose your glasses depending on the way you have your hair!

Steps

1. Decide on a frame. Do you want a flexible wire frame? Or maybe a more sophisticated plastic frame? Titanium? Gunmetal? Choose according to what you will use the glasses most for. For sports, choose flexible wire rims, for normal use, choose the others.
2. Choose the shape. Generally, people with oval faces should lean more towards rectangular glasses. People with more a square face should go for the oval or circular glasses. It can also help to try to match the shape of the top of the glasses to the shape of your eyebrow.
3. Consider your eyelash length. Long eyelashes can brush against the lenses, which will be extremely uncomfortable.
4. Try on many different shapes and styles and colours. You're going to be wearing these a lot, so be sure you're happy with them, even if it costs a little more.

Tips

• Always have a mirror and a peer (whose fashion taste you trust and agree with) when choosing eyeglasses. This way, you and your peer can tell if they look "right."
• For those with thicker lenses, consider a high index lens. This will reduce the thickness in the center if you're far-sighted and on the edge if you're nearsighted. A plastic frame will hide more of your lenses than a wire rim. Also look into getting the edges polished, which can help disguise the thickness. You can usually request to have polycarbonate lenses made with 1.0 mm thick centers (nearsighted people only) which will also reduce the thickness. You can only have this with polycarbonate.
• Nowadays, designer companies make eyeglasses' frames. These are perfect for the fashion conscious. These are expensive though, so choose within your price range.
• Anti-reflective coatings is the best option to go with, if night time glare or head lights bother you. They also look like you have no lenses in your glasses. Any one who is on TV will wear them because of the light glare. You'd never see their eyes otherwise.

Warnings

• Don't wear glasses that are too strong or too light for you or you might get a headache.
