6 Easy Tips to Buy the Perfect Pair of Eyeglasses

Finding the ideal pair of glasses can be difficult, particularly if you don't know what to look for. It's easy to become overwhelmed when there are so many different styles and brands to choose from. But don't be alarmed! We've done the legwork and compiled a list of six tips for finding the ideal pair of glasses.
The first step in buying glasses is determining your prescription (pupil distance). A ruler and a mirror can be used to accomplish this. First, center the ruler in front of your face against the mirror. Then, while holding one end of the ruler with both hands, examine yourself in the mirror. Move along this line slowly until one pupil is larger than the other—this is your PD!
Now that we know how much space there is between our pupils, let's see what happens when we put on different pairs of glasses.
You may also want to try out different types of frames first so that you can find one that works best with your face shape, style preferences, and budget! When trying on glasses, consider how they make your face appear. Do they help to contour a round face? Do they emphasize your best qualities? Consult a friend or family member if you are unsure.
What is your face's overall shape? Is it a long, oval shape? Round or square? Heart-shaped? Diamond-shaped? After determining your face shape, look up celebrities with similar features. This can help you think about what might look good on you.
It is also important to consider the material of your frames. Metal frames are excellent because they are lightweight and durable, but they are more expensive than plastic or acetate alternatives. Metal may be worth the extra cost if you want something that will last longer and keep its shape better.
When you wear glasses, color and texture can drastically alter your appearance. Consider the color of your frames, as well as any patterns or textures on them (such as metal). Blue lenses, for example, complement light brown eyes and dark hair, whereas greenish hues complement lighter skin tones. Consider how light or dark your hair is—if it's naturally light blonde or dirty blond, a color like black or tortoiseshell will add depth without looking washed out (which can happen if you're not careful).
Try on as many different styles, shapes, and sizes as you can to ensure that you'll be happy with your new glasses. You'll be able to see better than before with your new glasses—and if there's one thing we know about our readers, it's that they dislike feeling self-conscious when trying on glasses!
You'll also discover what works best for you—the right fit is critical in minimizing distractions from outside forces such as the sun or rain.
We hope these tips will help you find the perfect pair of glasses for your face. Remember that there is no wrong way to choose a frame, but knowing what type of eye shape and color you have helps narrow down your choices. As always, remember the golden rule: don't buy too big or too small!

Vicci™ Eyewear was inspired by a son’s love for his mother and his passion for fashion.
David Abramovici, the Founder of Vicci™ Eyewear, came from a family of artisans dedicated to craftsmanship since the 1920s.
David recalls that when his mother was around 65 years old, she would always ask him to stop by the local pharmacy to pick up some generic readers.
He would spend at least 20 minutes every time he went there, just standing in front of a rack full of tacky, ugly readers. It was difficult for him to choose a "nice" design that he thought would look good on his mother.
His mother enjoyed attending events and spending money on her dresses and accessories. Unfortunately, the readers are often underwhelming, and she was embarrassed to ever be seen wearing them. Like most women, she'd usually hide it in her lovely purse and would always look around before using them to read the menu or bill.
David wondered why there weren’t more choices for high-quality and fashionable custom readers for older women like his mother. Something she’d actually love to wear and be proud to be seen wearing.
And that’s when it hit him!
