As we know, women are likely to pay more attention to the style of eyeglasses while purchasing eyeglasses. Different from women, men lay much emphasis on other things when buying new glasses for vision correction. The top three priorities come to comfort, durability and fitness. Also, they won’t neglect style but it is not important as fit and comfort are.

According to a survey done by the Vision Council, more than 88% men choose comfort and fit as their priorities when it comes to choosing frames of men’s rx eyeglasses. Another 59% think durability is of great importance in a frame. Besides, they may consider other things such as spring hinges and flexible frames.

As comfort and fit are the most important aspects when men choose eyeglasses, here’s a guide that will help you choose ideal men’s rx eyeglasses. First, be sure that the frames fit with the width of your face. If so, it will prevent the temples from pressing the sides of your head. Besides, choose frames where the edges extend a little bit beyond your face, which can ensure that the temples won’t brush your head when extending back toward the ears.

Second, pay attention to the proper length of the temples. When the frames fit well, the curve found at the temple’s end needs to extend over your ear but should not press down. On the contrary, if you feel uncomfortable, you need ask your opticians to adjust it.

Third, be sure that the nose piece fits properly. Recently, men’s rx eyeglasses are equipped with silicone pads that are more adjustable. You can do something to test your glasses if it stays in place such as doing exercise and bending, etc.

Because durability is men’s main concern while buying eyeglasses, they had better choose flexible materials such as stainless steel, titanium or flexon for frames. Take flexon as an example. It is a titanium based alloy and retains its shape even when it is bent, twisted or crushed. Therefore, flexon may be ideal flexible material for frames.

Except their main concerns, men also can choose rx eyeglasses with chic style. Among various styles, they can choose an aviator style which is always popular among men. Men who like the retro style can choose plastic rx eyeglasses from thin plastics, black frames and layered looks.

Generally speaking, the above guide will be much helpful for you to choose suitable men’s rx eyeglasses meeting your needs.
