Five Tips for Eyeglasses Wearers to Make Up

March 24th, 2011

1. Enlarge your eyes with an eyeliner
Myopic lens will narrow the eyes and make the eyeball convex, so the skill for making up eyes is particularly important. The key to this process is to enlarge the eyes and dilute the convex, hence eyeliner plays an very important role at this moment.

2. Draw thick eye lines

No matter you have single or double eyelid, the most useful tools to enlarge your eyes are relatively thick eye line and dense and curly eyelash. You can try to use liquid or soft-cartridge eye liner to draw your eye lines from the root of the eyelash because dark, dense and thick lines will enlarge the eyes to some extent.

3. Choose eye shadows with similar colors

Rich-colored eye shadow will influence the image of eyes, so coffee and brown should be the safest choice. During making up, you can use dark brown eye shadow at the edge of your upper eyelid, and then shift to the part under the eyebrow gradually. It is better to enlarge your eyes by using eye shadows of similar colors from dark to light.

4. Curl your eyelash after applying the mascara

Eyelash curler is a magic key for myopic beauties to enlarge their eyes. Before applying the mascara, you must curl your eyelash from its root with an eyelash curler. After applying the mascara, curl the eyelash once again. Then you can see the eyelash become curly.

5. Use fog lipsticks

As eyeglasses frame already gives us a strong impression, the lip should not be modified too much. In such case, fog lipsticks are much better than intensive lip glosses. Light pink, orange and other such moist lip colors are most suitable for eyeglasses wearers.

My Opinion about Only Buying Lenses Online

March 23rd, 2011

Some customers have their own favorite eyeglasses frames that are out of production. Some of these frames are precious; while some of them are hardly available on the market. Therefore the customers are unwilling to change them. However, the lenses must be updated or replaced regularly. If they choose to fill a prescription locally they will be refused by most of the glasses stores for various reasons as they don’t need to buy new glasses frames. For this reason, many people try to find some online glasses stores to seek this special service. But actually, buying lenses only online have many disadvantages.

First of all, the lenses you have bought from the online stores may not fit your eyeglasses frames. As we know, since the sellers don’t know the sizes and shapes of your own frames they can only match your lenses according to your description. However, it is inevitable that the lenses cannot be made accurately. Maybe some people will say they can ship their own frames to the seller for fitting the lenses. But this may cause another two problems which are listed as below:

1.      There is a risk of damage on the glasses frames during the shipping. The online stores where you buy the lenses from are always far from where you live; even sometimes you will buy them from an online store that is several thousand or more miles away from your home, so it will take a long time to ship the frames to them. No one can guarantee that the frames can certainly arrive at the destination without being damaged. This is no doubt a kind of risk.

2.      It may be a waste of money. For the inexpensive glasses frames except those are of special values, you are strongly suggested to buy a new eyeglasses frame. For instance, your eyeglasses frame is priced at only $20, but the shipping cost may be more than $20. In such case, you might as well buy a whole pair of eyeglasses. You may worry that the glasses frame will not fit you. But most of the online glasses stores have try-on systems which enable you to try on the glasses frames you like to see whether they are suitable for you. So you don’t need to worry about this matter.

To sum up, it is not suggested to only buy lenses from the online stores as there are so many drawbacks.

Don’t Rely on Anti-radiation Non prescription Eyeglasses too Much?

March 22nd, 2011

People who often surf online will feel discomfort in their eyes, so a pair of anti-radiation plain eyeglasses is quite necessary for them. However, the plain glasses available on the market are different in quality, price and brand. Moreover, there are finished and customized eyeglasses. Facing with so many non prescription eyeglasses, how to select one pair that is really with the function of radiation protection?

Generally speaking, the anti-radiation eyeglasses indeed have the radiation protection function, but it is difficult for us to identify their authenticities. Even if some merchants can show us the quality certificates of the anti-radiation plain eyeglasses, they cannot guarantee that the lenses that the consumers have got really have the radiation protection function because this function cannot be judged only by naked eyes. For this reason, it is suggested that the people who usually use computers should not rely on anti-radiation eyeglasses too much. Nevertheless, how to reduce the damage from the computer to our eyes without the anti-radiation eyeglasses?

First, maintain a correct sitting posture while using computers. Our eyes should be over 50cm away from the display which should be placed 10~20 degrees lower than our sight because such a distance and angle can reduce the area of the eyeballs that is exposed to the air. Second, have a rest for 15 minutes every 1~2 hours and see the far objects as well as do some eye exercises. Third, blink frequently to reduce the exposure time of the eyeballs to the air, so as to avoid the evaporation of tears. Do not fix eyes on something for a long time. Fourth, have a good sleep and do not stay up late; drink as much water as possible; and eat a plenty of fruits.

If you usually do as what I said above the damages caused by the computer to your eyes will be reduced even if without a pair of anti-radiation eyeglasses.

How Often Should Eyeglasses be Replaced?

March 20th, 2011

Many people will not replace their eyeglasses until they are broken or cannot be used anymore. The latest large-scale investigation indicates that 29.2% of the consumers of resin lens replace eyeglasses every three or more years; while 36.4% of them will not change their eyeglasses until they are broken. In fact, if the service time of the lenses exceeds its service life our nearsightedness may be aggravated, which is, however, ignored by most of the eyeglasses wearers. In view of this, I have some suggestions for you.

The common nearsighted people should replace their eyeglasses once a year. This change includes adjusting the lenses degrees and updating the eyeglasses. As we know, the optical corrective performance of the lens will be significantly affected once there are scratches on its surface. Therefore, the eyeglasses should be maintained and inspected regularly; moreover, they should be replaced immediately so as to keep them in a good working condition.

For the youngsters whose degrees vary fast, they had better replace their eyeglasses once half a year or a year. The myopia of the teenagers is more likely to be deepened as they usually need to see near objects for a long time. The teenagers whose eyes are overused need to have an optometry once half a year. If the eyeglasses are proved to be not suitable for the diopter variation they should be replaced at once.

Here I want to emphasize that the teenagers should have a mydriatic optometry before they replace their eyeglasses. The optometry should not be conducted carelessly and the eyeglasses should be matched strictly according to the prescription made by the formal hospitals. Apart from subjective optometry, mydriatic optometry should also be applied. The regulatory function of the teenagers’ musculus ocularis is too strong that the mydriatic optometry can be used to know their real refraction and dipoters. In addition, the diopter of the lenses should be consistent with that stated on the optometry list. If the deviation exceeds the national standard, the development of myopia or presbyopia will be quickened.

March 17th, 2011

Creative Legless Eyeglass

When it comes to the issue that what the most fashionable eyeglasses are, maybe you will say rimless eyeglasses, big-framed eyeglasses, tinted glasses, etc. But I would like to tell you that all of these eyeglasses are out of fashion. Legless eyeglasses are the most stylish and alternative in 2011.

Nowadys, body piercing is getting more and more popular among people, and the pierced part also develops from ears, nose, lip, tongue, brow and navel to collarbone, nipples, fingers, special parts or even private parts. Today, this model of creative eyeglasses is specially designed for the fans of body piercing. You can see this eyeglass is without legs, instead a fixture is penetrated into the nose bridge by drilling two holes at its both sides; and then the lenses are directly secured at the fixture on the nose bridge tactfully. Do you think it is cool? Maybe we cannot accept it, but it is really a pretty cool invention among the body piercing fans.

Some people may deem that this is horrible and painful because the eyeglasses are connected directly with our body; in addition, the eyeglasses are so heavy that our nose is unable to support it. But the fact is the lenses are very light and easy to disassemble. So we don’t need to worry about that these eyeglasses will increase burden on our noses.

If you are a person who has been afraid of trying body piercing, I suggest you to begin it from wearing this creative legless eyeglass. It is not only cool, but also has some practical values.

Something about Burberry

The British would prefer to wear a wind coat than to open the umbrella when they are walking on the street in a rainy and windy day. This is not a peculiarity of the British but the benefit that a wind coat offers. When it comes to wind coat, the UK brand Burberry is the first thing occurred to most of the people.

Burberry was appointed as the senior uniform of UK in WWI.

In 1856, Thomas Burberry opened a ready-to-wear shop at Basingstoke in Hampshire.

In 1879, he developed Gabardine, a kind of twill fabric of which the tissue was well-knit, waterproof and breathable. As this fabric was durable, it was widely used by the British pilots and armies.

In the late of 1990s, the fashion world set off a trend of brand new born, therefore, Burberry began to seek breakthrough on this circumstance. Apart from the conventional clothes, Burberry also extended its designs to other fields so as to in response to the coming diverse age. It integrated the classic elements into the new related products and gained a brand new life. Eyewear is a new creation of this reformation.

The collection of Burberry eyewear is inspired by the stylish style of fashion show. The classic checkered patterns select exquisite crystal; and the metal frame is decorated with the symbol of cavalier. The simple and neutral style, leisure rimless style, noble metal style and the luxurious style all are deducing the exquisite fashion; the streamlined glasses legs with innovative designs make the wearers more comfortable.

Now, Burberry as a UK eyeglasses brand is popular among the young people, especially the young ladies who love pursuing fashion and uniqueness. Although many of them cannot afford it as it is a luxurious brand, they are still willing to get a pair of Burberry eyeglasses by sacrificing their 3 months’ incomes. This is sufficient to demonstrate the charm of Burberry.

Three Ways to Get the Cheapest Eyeglasses

March 13th, 2011

When it comes to buying eyeglasses, many people care the price most. Well, where can we get the cheapest eyeglasses? I think there are three ways listed as below:

First, we can get them from the roadside stalls. As we know, there are large numbers of roadside stalls selling various kinds of eyewear including myopic eyeglasses, presbyopic glasses and sunglasses. All of these eyewears are sold at prices that are lower than anyone could image. Even we can get a pair of sunglasses with only 10 dollars. So you can get the cheapest eyeglasses here. However, such eyeglasses are usually with bad quality and have no functions of vision correction or eye protection; what’s worse, they may do harm to our eyes. For this reason, we’d better not buy eyewear from the roadside stalls.

Second, we can get them from the formal eyeglasses stores or department stores when they are launching promotions such as offering discounts. Generally speaking, we can buy the eyeglasses at the lowest price at that time. But we should notice whether the merchants have raised their prices before the promotions. Hence, we should keep an eye on the prices of the eyeglasses we are interested in at ordinary time so as to check if they are really the lowest.

Third, we can get them from the online stores. Nowadays, there are more and more eyeglasses stores on the internet. We can find the cheapest eyeglasses by comparing the prices of the glasses without going outside. This is a both time-saving and convenient way to buy glasses. Nevertheless, we will never know the quality and fitness of the eyeglasses before we receive them. So, this is to some extent a risk. But if we choose some reputable eyeglasses stores, this risk will be reduced to the minimum.

Based on the above three ways, which one do you think is the best?
