The Ups and Downs of Having Four Eyes

I have been wearing eyeglasses for 17 years now! I have had countless pairs of eyeglasses, and I have tried lots of frames, from plastic to metal, from glass lenses to plastic lenses. Although that's the case, I admit I am still having a hard time choosing which frame I will use when that time come to change eyeglasses again. They say it's ideal to have eyeglasses replaced every year, but because having eyeglasses are so expensive now, I try to hang on to my new set of eyes and wait until the day comes that replacement is really needed.

Let's face it, eyeglasses cost so much, and if you're like me who don't have the luxury to change eyeglasses yearly, I really have to choose very carefully which frame I will choose. Right now, the grades of my eyes are 350 and 375 (I do have astigmatism as well), so choices aren't that much. Choices get trimmed down even further because I have a big face and flat nose as well. Whenever I am at the optical shop, I always choose frames that can be adjusted in the nose area and that the stems have to be plastic. I have tried metallic frames and the stems would always injure the sides of my face because the sweat causes bad reaction to the metal stems.

It really is a bit hard to wear eyeglasses, but it's already there. I opted not to use contact lenses, so I have to live for the moment and adjust. Sometimes, it's just frustrating that choices aren't that much and being fashionable is hard to attain, if you're me. I have heard of Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni, and I was really impressed! Well, what's more impressive is that Zenni Optical was on FOX news! Well, I am not at all surprised with that because their line of eyeglasses are just so good, and if I can just own one, I will probably choose this one:

So great, eh? It didn't have the plastic stem that I wanted, but the stem is curved, so it won't really touch the sides of my face. I chose this one because tt also had magnetic clip on shades, perfect on sunny days.Another more impressive thing to learn are the Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses. Nowadays when money is tough, we really have to choose affordable yet quality eyeglasses. For four-eyed people like me, eyeglasses aren't just tools to see things clearly; it's also a fashion statement. Maybe when it's my turn to replace my eyeglasses, I will take a note of that.
