The contact revolution gave many eyeglass wearers more than just an option of how to correct poor vision. The reality for many past eyeglass wearers was an unfortunate set of spectacles that adorned an otherwise beautiful face. It was no luxury to many an eyeglass wearer to be able to remove what they considered the burden of their bulky frames but a necessity. However, just because those once worn eyeglasses are no longer the daily fare for many, does not mean that eyeglasses no longer serve a purpose even for the most ardent contact wearer.
What kind of purpose can eyeglasses serve for a wearer of corrective contact lenses? For many a contact wearer, the end of the day is the most troublesome for their eyes. The many hours of use often leaves eyes dry and tired. There are those that opt to use eyedrops, but this solution of turns into almost an addictive remedy. On the other hand, those that use eyeglasses do not face the side effects of dry tired eyes, so eyeglass wearing may be considered as a part-time solution. This may be where your trusted optician can help.
Choose the Look for Tired Eyes with an Optician
Perhaps your visits with an optometrist have revealed severe close-sightedness. In the case of someone who suffers from very poor vision, their eyes may become even more irritated by the end of the day, but have to use some sort of vision correction. It's not a matter of simply removing glasses or putting them on at one's convenience. In the past, heavy frames or awkward design may have made glasses uncomfortable.
Today, many lightweight and well-designed options can make glasses comfortable to wear. Thin lightweight metals can be used to keep the frame sleek and unassuming. At the same time, thin lenses can be provided for even very poor sight that requires stronger prescriptions. These strong prescriptions once created optical illusions distorting the wearer's eyes. However, modern glasses limit that distortion.
It could be that the cost of thinner lenses may concern potential users. The solution? Thicker frames can be used to downplay the physical thickness of thicker lenses. Thick frames are very fashionable in many circles with retro attire becoming more and more popular. At the same time, a bit of an investment in lenses that will not distort the aspect of the users eyes but are not the thinnest model offered will strike a balance between cost and style. A choice in a not so heavy plastic and moderately thin lenses will also keep the set of glasses comfortable. There are even frame options in plastic with light metal, flexible arms.
In short, the right option in a set of glasses will keep those tired eyes fresh. Especially if your job is demanding and does not allow for adequate rest, keeping those eyes well-cared for will make just that much more of a difference.
