Fashion Eyewear something for everyone
No more geeky glasses like our grandmothers had to wear! It took designers and manufacturers decades to realize that eye glasses should enhance our looks, not just allow us to see better. Once they realized this, the fashion eyewear industry make a huge difference in our wardrobe choices.
Of course, fashion doesn't always come cheap, and by the time you choose a frame that you just can't live without, and add the lenses with coatings and UV safety features, you could easily be looking at over $500.
If looks are important and finances are a problem, check out your local retailers for coupons and special offers. Frames are frequently on sale, and two for one specials are very common. Even some of the frames that are on sale, though, can be quite attractive and are perfectly acceptable options to the high end designer frames that for all intents and purposes aren't actually made with much more quality.
Most health insurance plans will pay for an eye exam at least every two years, if not annually. But this only pays for the exam, not the glasses. However, many of us have a form of insurance that will actually help pay for the glasses themselves. Check with your dental insurance company. Yes - dental insurance! Many private companies have relationships with some of the leading vision care providers and you can get great discounts of about 25% off your glasses.
Eyewear has become such a popular fashion accessory over the past year or so that even clothing manufacturers are getting into the game and making frames that match their signature clothing lines. For instance, you can buy a plaid Burberry scarf and get matching eyeglasses to really pull together an entire outfit.
Don't need glasses? Doesn't matter! If glasses are going to make you seem more mature to your office mates, or more intellectual to your college professors, then get some eye glasses with plain glass lenses. You still have the benefit of making that all important fashion statement, but also can impress others for different reasons.
When deciding on buying new glasses, you might also want to think about getting some prescription sunglasses as well. Retailers frequently offer these as a special when buying your regular glasses. And if fashion is your passion, then sunglasses are the way to go to complete your new look.
Pricing can indeed be steep, and quality isn't always there. Most frames are plastic, no matter how much or how little you pay. And, lenses scratch no matter what type of coating you buy.
