It’s 2014 and you’d think that with the start of the new year, nerdy eyeglasses frames for men would have kicked the bucket in favor of other emerging trends this season, but you’d be dead wrong. The boys from Guys Buys on the online lifestyle magazine, “Racked”, recently released their roundup of eyewear choices for men and the sentiment seems to be overwhelmingly in favor of the nerdy style that started making waves in 2013.

There is, however, a shift building in a direction that’s moving away from the solid black plastic frames of last year toward a little more translucency and color. This trend was quite accurately predicted by fashion forecasters Stylesight and Eyecessorize in their Eyewear Product & Trend Review for spring/summer 2014 that was featured on Forbes last November.

The road and all its hazards can be a dangerous for cyclists who need prescription glasses in order to properly correct for abnormalities in their vision. To ensure safety on the road, wearing a pair of cycling-specific prescription glasses is often recommended. An article on the cycling news website, VeloNews, sheds some great insight into picking the right set of eyewear to meet your needs as a cyclist.

As for the lenses, the article notes that because lighting conditions can change dramatically from day to day, you may need different lenses for different conditions. Otherwise, you can opt to purchase photochromic lenses that can automatically adapt to different lighting conditions, but this will probably cost you more.

Many argue the study and doubt its results. Bobby Qureshi, London Eye Hospital consultant ophthalmologist, argue that the test conducted by the study is far from the usual activity of a person. He further stated that the full light spectrum, including the blue end, exists around us all the time, so there is no cause for alarm.

Regardless of what both sides say, extreme light is still one of the best enemies of healthy eyes. With that in mind, protecting one’s eyes from such an enemy is necessary, and fashionable Ray Ban prescription glasses can help you do just that.

If the app can indeed do what it’s supposed to, it can be extremely beneficial. However, the app doesn’t come cheap. It also comes with a subscription price, meaning you’ll have to pay for it as long as you’re using it.

With these disadvantages, it’s safe to say that the app won’t replace prescription glasses anytime soon. Gorgeous designer reading glasses for men and women will still be in the market, and online shops like GlassesElite.com will continue to offer reliable and affordable reading glasses to its customers.

Eye Exam First

Eyeglasses are meant to correct vision, but vision problems tend to worsen over time, so after wearing them for a while, your prescription will most likely have changed. Have your eyes examined before ordering to ensure the prescription is accurate; the wrong prescription can make your eyesight worse.

Pupillary Distance

Ask your optometrist to include your pupillary distance (PD) to the examination results. You need to provide this measurement to an online eyeglasses provider like Glasses Elite, especially if you plan to order stylish eyeglasses frames for women. This will ensure that you get the most out of your purchase. more »

According to health experts, children and teenagers should have their eyes checked by an optometrist every year before school starts. These regular inspections help detect whether your child requires glasses or needs updated prescription glasses.

To avoid ruining eyesight, you may want to advise your children against rubbing their eyes vigorously as the motion can scratch the corneas. You should also teach your child to look away from the computer every now and then to avoid unnecessary eye strain. Lastly, try to serve your child food rich in vitamin A like carrots, tuna, and sweet potato.

Some situations require getting at least one pair of prescription glasses. What if you make a play for prescription glasses made by one of the most reputable eyewear brands around, like Ray-Ban? The name alone exudes quality and protection – and can encourage you to source your new pair of Ray-Ban prescription glasses through online sellers such as Glasses Elite.

Suppose you’ve decided on Ray-Bans as your main eyewear brand of choice but you have a number of activities occupying your time. Deborah Oh stresses that you will need extra pairs as back up in case your existing pair might break. If you are going outdoors, for example, there’s a danger of UV rays affecting the eye, warranting a pair of RayBan prescription sunglasses to go with your normal prescription specs.
