| Eyewear for Lifestyles Guide |
|
In these busy times when it's not just children who are involved in after-school activities, but adults, too – networking groups, cocktail hour, yoga, graduate college classes, golf...to name but a few, everyone could use eyewear that enhances their lives, not detracts from it. Whether you need glasses full time or just have trouble reading the menu in certain light, there are specs for you. And stylish, comfortable, affordable ones at that. So before you spend any play money on another pair of shoes or a fancy dinner out, why not consider using that extra stash for some great eyeglasses that will really light up your life. Here's a quick and easy eyewear guide for a few common lifestyles: The Active Achiever Work hard, play hard – these are words you've lived by ever since you can remember. You love being team lead at work while also training for a marathon and organizing a weekly book club – not to mention updating your blog on a daily basis. You need variety – you thrive on it. That's why one set of specs or contacts aren't gonna do. Since you wear so many hats, why not change up the contacts from time to time and let your eyes rest during your typically extra long days. A pair of stylish designer specs for work or after-hour meetings, performance sunglasses for marathon bike rides and even prescription goggles so you can see clearly when you hit the Aspen slopes are the perfect addition to your multifaceted wardrobe. The Busy Mom/Dad From soccer practice to the grocery store and fifteen stops in between, half your life is lived in the car, a gym or on a field. Since you're on the go from the time the alarm clock goes off, finding the right pair of eyeglasses for your lifestyle is crucial. Don't settle for the same old specs you've been toting around since college. It's time to update your look and show the world you're a styling mom or dad. The recent batch of trendy frames fit all types of personalities and face shapes, so there's definitely something out there that will make your look pop and the other parents stop and take notice. Plus, if you're outdoors chasing around kids or cheering on a little league, don't forget to get high-quality sunglasses that will protect your eyes from damaging UV rays. Whether they're prescription or not, you can't afford to take a sunglasses shortcut – it's one investment that will keep your eyes safe and protected. The Part-Timer You've gotten by using magnifying glasses and old reading glasses from when “Happy Days” was still on television. You might be in bad-eyesight denial and don't want to buckle and get a new prescription or maybe you just don't think your eyes really need new glasses. WRONG. If you're squinting or asking people to help you read instructions on the back of the box, chances are it's time to visit the optometrist. Even if your eye problems are minor, slight modifications in your eyeglasses prescription can mean the difference between a frustrating experience and a pleasurable one. Plus, there's nothing like a chic pair of eyeglasses to add just the right amount of sophistication or interesting twist to your style. |
