[2023] How to choose the right eyeglasses/sunglasses for you. Choose a pair that suits your environment, taking into account the material, design (shape), etc.
Hello
Eyewear brand from London
Unique designs centered around "METRONOME"
Online store selling glasses/sunglasses
I'm OKD, a staff member at METRONOME-Tokyo Online .
This time, we will be talking about "How to choose glasses/sunglasses that suit you.
"Consider the material and design (including size) first."
I would like to write with this in mind.
The trick to choosing glasses/sunglasses is
- size
- material
- Shape (design)
The three above.
Lens material, color, and prescription
It is an element that allows you to enjoy a comfortable eyewear life.
In the first place, the frame is not suitable for my face.
If it is too big, it will be uncomfortable to wear.
There is a possibility that it will be connected.
So this time, the size,
Then I write, focusing on the shape and other aspects.
First, about the width of your face
It is important to have a deeper understanding.
How wide is it when facing forward?
How far is your nose from your ears?
When choosing eyeglass/sunglasses frames
If the size doesn't fit, it may slip off easily.
It may even be that you can't wear it at all.
Actually measure the size of your face,
Or if you have a chance to try it on nearby
Try it on and see if it's comfortable for you.
I think it would be good to find a good size.
The perfect size for you
Once I understand, I'll consider buying it
Eyeglasses/sunglasses frames
Check the width at the front.
Sizes may vary by store.
There is a lot of information, so if the necessary information is not listed,
Please check by contacting us.
The width when the eyewear is facing forward is
Temple = Excluding the part that rests on the ears
Check the size of the inside between the left and right temples.
Your face will fit between the temples.
The more the sense of size shifts,
It may feel too tight or too loose.
In addition,
Different frame materials have different flexibility.
If it's made of titanium, it's easy to adjust.
Plastic and some metal
The assembled frame is sometimes inflexible.
So be careful.
Also, check the temple length.
Temples = If the length of the part that comes to the side of your face is correct
This prevents the frame from slipping when worn.
If it's too short, it won't reach your ears.
If it's too long, there will be excess.
It's too short to wear...
I haven't heard of many cases like this,
Too long and the temples are left over
I think that's a relatively common occurrence.
If the error is about 5 to 10 mm from the ideal value
I don't think it will be a big problem.
However, there is a difference in size,
Feeling unstable or uncomfortable when wearing
Be careful as there is a risk of connection.
If you have a chance to try it on in this area,
What is the right length?
I think it would be good to check.
Also, check your PD (pupillary distance).
PD is the distance between the pupils, as the Japanese translation suggests.
That is, the distance between the focal points of your left and right eyes.
This PD is the lens width + bridge width of the frame.
The closer to the total length
It's a frame with a good size.
The size is roughly the same as above.
Next, let's talk about materials.
Recently, plastic
Mostly metals such as titanium.
For plastics, it depends on the material
Some can be produced relatively cost-effectively
It seems like a lot of the items are reasonably priced.
There are many variations in design
Brands that sell design
I feel like there's a lot of plastic.
Metal frames tend to be slim,
I see a lot of classics.
Many are light and easy to wear
Titanium frames are flexible.
A material called beta titanium is also suitable for allergies.
It is considered to be gentle.
There are many relatively expensive frames
It has many loyal fans.
Finally, I'll talk about the shape.
These include round and square lenses.
What role does the frame (lens) shape play?
There are various factors, but the biggest one is
I think it creates an impression on the face.
Round lenses create a softer impression.
A square shape gives a smart and firm impression.
It is said that it makes it easier to leave behind.
The size of the lens surface area is also an important factor.
How much of the field of view can be covered?
It changes the impression of your eyes.
There are reasons to choose depending on the application.
A larger lens surface area makes the eyes look bigger
I hope to show you,
A smaller surface area makes the eyes appear smaller
It is said to be effective.
Ultimately, it depends on your facial contours and other factors.
I hope you will give it a try.
Ultimately, the clerk at the store where you purchased it
Contact the store support staff
Let's inquire.
I believe they will give you good advice based on their experience.
I hope this is helpful.
Well then.
OKD
