DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES’ LENS COATINGS AND ITS BENEFITS

Lens coatings are what make a pair of eyeglasses effective, despite being nearly invisible. Lens Coating are used to improve visual comfort. Further, it helps clean the prescription glasses easier and, and even makes your glasses last longer. Whether it’s a hard layer to protect against scratches or a premium anti-reflective coating to reduce annoying reflections, there’s something for everyone. After selecting frames and lenses, you can choose your lens coating from a wide range, each with its own benefits. We consider our eyeglass spending as a significant investment in our overall well-being and quality of life. Hence, it makes sense if we take precautions to protect our investment in eyeglasses

A lens is incomplete unless it has the proper coating on its surface. The optical coating, which is very thin help the lens in acquiring some excellent features. Over the last decade, prescription glass lens coatings have evolved in several dimensions, resulting in better and better transmission, and thus making lenses more invisible.

It would be difficult to choose right lens for your eyeglasses, but lens coatings need not be so. Here are some of the most common types of lens coatings as available:

Scratch-Resistant Coating

No matter what material your lenses are made of, they are susceptible to scratches and other blemishes. Scratches on your lenses are distracting and can impair your vision. Hence, it’s important to apply a coating that allows the lens to withstand normal wear and tear. This can help your lenses resist scrapes and other marks, which degrade the quality and longevity of your prescription glasses. While most plastic lenses including those supplied by AusSpecs are manufactured with scratch resistance built-in, a scratch-resistant coating can add an extra layer of protection. 

Anti-Reflective Coating

This type of coating, also known as AR coating or anti-glare coating, can increase the amount of light absorbed by your lenses. AR coatings, which are similar to those found on microscopes and camera lenses, include several layers of mineral oxides on the front and back of the lens to effectively block reflected light. Anti-reflective coatings reduce glare, eye strain, and provide clear vision. Also, most of AR Coating comes along with scratch resistance coating. If you are a fashion geek or a person who is conscious on your physical look or a public speaker who need a photogenic look, AR coated prescription glasses can be an ideal option.

Blue Light Protective Coating

People are more likely than ever before to experience eye strain as a result of the widespread use of digital devices in our lives, particularly smartphones. These devices like smart phones, computers and tablets emit blue lights. Continuous exposure to these blue lights can damage your retina, and lead to vision impairment. A blue-light protective coating or blue-light glasses avoid eye strain and other symptoms caused by prolonged exposure to blue light.

Anti-fog Coating

Nothing is more frustrating than your eyeglasses fog up especially in the era of pandemic where facemasks become part of our outfits. This can also be dangerous because it reduces your ability to see until the fog clears. In order to keep yourself out of harm, you should consider upgrading prescription glass lenses with an anti-fog coating. It will keep our lenses and vision remain clear when we move from a cold to a warm environment or while wearing a facemask. Several companies have made anti-fog sprays and coatings to reduce moisture condensation on lenses, which causes fogging.

UV Protective Coatings

Many of our sunglasses will come with UV protection. This type of UV protective lens coating can safeguard your eyes from UV light, which can lead to age-related eye diseases and vision problems later in life. This is why adding a UV protective coating for your eyeglasses is a smart idea. AusSpecs ensures your eyes get the protection they require with our prescription sunglasses that clearly made with a coating that provides 100% protection from UV-A and UV-B light. 

AusSpecs offers UV, Anti-Reflective and Scratch resistance coating to all the prescription glass purchases made online. Choose the right lens coating and we will have it delivered to your doorstep across Australia. Please visit https://www.ausspecs.com.au for further information.

METAL FRAME VS PLASTIC FRAME – PROS AND CONS OF EYEGLASS FRAMES

Metal and plastic frames for Prescription Glasses are the two most common and popular frames on the market. Thus, there is no one-size-fits-all solution; each has its own set of pros and downsides. Thus, the use case determines the better of the two frames. The best of the two may be determined by the material utilized, your style, your level of comfort to your work, and, lastly, your budget. The beauty is that Plastic frames cover the cons of Metal frames, and Metal frames cover the cons of plastic frames. 

Prescription Glasses with Metal Frame

Metal Frames are considered for its Durability and Versatility. Generally, people with active lifestyle prefer metal frames eyeglasses.

Benefits

Metal is often regarded as the most lightweight option when it comes to eyeglass frames. This is because metal frames are often thinner and lighter. It is made of various materials, including titanium, beryllium, Monel, aluminum, stainless steel , and Flexon. Titanium is the most often utilized material due to its lightweight, robustness, and resistance to corrosion. In comparison to plastic frames, metal frames have a more straightforward design, which results in an executive look. Additionally, because of the malleability of metal frames, minor modifications are possible. Metal frames, which can be customized as semi-rimless, are a fantastic alternative for individuals with active lifestyle.

Disadvantages

Metal Allergy is one of the most severe disadvantages of metal frames. The Nickel present in the prescription glass frames may be allergic to few users. On the other hand, stainless steel and titanium are viable alternatives to avoid allergies. Metal frames are also not recommended for those with high prescriptions. This is not to say that metal frames are incompatible with high prescriptions; instead, lenses that are thicker and heavier likely to fall out of metal frames. Metal frames, especially those without spring hinges, tend to break at the joints. Finally, Metal frames are more costly than plastic frames, as the quality of the metal improves, the price will climb and provide fewer design options.

Prescription Glasses with Plastic Frames

Plastic frames comes with wide variety of colors and styles, providing gamut of options for Prescription glasses. They can also accommodate thicker lenses or stronger prescriptions.

Benefits

Plastic frames are said to be more comfortable than metal frames due to the lack of nose pads, and they tend to conceal all of the significant disadvantages of metal frames. Plastic frames have a curved bridge and provide more comfort when worn on the nose. The nose pads on metal frame eyeglasses push on two points on either side of the nose, which may become unpleasant with time. Individuals with a high prescription will have thicker lenses. Plastic frames are more effective at supporting bigger, thicker lenses and hiding the lenses' additional thickness. Because plastic frames are nickel-free, they are a preferable alternative if you are nickel-sensitive; they are also hypoallergenic. Finally, plastic frames are available in a broader range of colors. The eye-catching patterns are excellent for anybody wishing to make a bold statement and stand out on the street.

Disadvantages 

Typically, plastic frames do not have nose cushions, making it less adjustable if it slips down the nose. Due to the less pliable nature of plastic frames than metal frames, tiny adjustments are more complex. Half-rimmed plastic frames are not available. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, plastic spectacle frames downside is that they lose adjustability more rapidly than metal frames.

It is vital to decide on the frames before purchasing prescription glasses, and that decision needs to be done based on the user's requirements. AusSpecs can help customers by providing the essential information to make an informed choice and deliver the prescription glasses. AusSpecs has supported its customers in making the best eye care decisions for over a decade.

WHAT IS COMPUTER GLASSES AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT FOR DIGITAL NOMADS?

Our world is rapidly digitizing, particularly since the COVID-19 which sparked the digitization process. Since the COVID, almost all activities, from education to business, have migrated to the Cyber Realm. In the cyber world, digital gadgets, whether mobile phones or computers, have become integral parts of everyday life, from the moment we wake up to the moment we sleep. This is because digital devices are the means through which the digital universe can be interacted with. This alteration of human life comes at a high price, which people pay by sacrificing their health, with the eyes being the principal casualty. Digital technologies have variety of effects on our eyes, including blue eye exposure, eye fatigue, UV radiation exposure, dry eyes and many more.

Even Nevertheless, eradicating the effects of digital radiation is not feasible, since nothing is free. We can still mitigate the effects, and the most effective method is to wear specialized spectacles called computer glasses that are particularly intended to mitigate the effects of harmful rays.

Computer glasses are prescription glasses that are worn when using digital devices. It helps us to concentrate on a screen that is farther away than we would ordinarily hold. The anti-reflective coating on computer glasses helps to reduce glare from the screen and light produced by the device. Glass color tinting is another feature that helps increase the contrast of the screen without making it too harsh for your eyes. There are three varieties of computer glasses. 

Single vision computer glasses help prevent blurred vision, eye strain, and poor posture. Single vision glasses are appropriate for computer users of any age.

Progressive lenses for occupational use are a kind of multifocal lens that corrects close, mid, and distant vision. These lenses provide a bigger, more comfortable field of vision when working at a computer, but they are not suggested for long-distance jobs.

In comparison to standard bifocal and trifocal lenses, occupational bifocal and trifocal lenses have a larger zone for intermediate and near vision. The intermediate and close vision zones may be modified to meet your computer's unique requirements.

 The Advantages of Computer Glasses

To effortlessly maintain your energy levels throughout the day and remain clear-headed; protect your vision from damaging blue light by wearing blue light glasses.  Anti-blue light glasses might help you avoid headaches and can even help you improve your posture! Let’s focus on the benefits of using Computer Glasses.

Reduced Blue Light

Not only do blue filter glasses lower the amount of blue light emitted by your screen, it  protects your eyes from dangerous workplace lighting, such as fluorescent or LED lighting that creates a lot of blue light.

Optimal Vision

These computer glasses will assist you in maintaining healthy vision. You won't need to struggle to view the computer screen, adjust the brightness excessively, bend forward to avoid glare, or expose your eyes to harmful blue light. You may prevent eye issues and lower your chance of developing myopia by using computer glasses. Additionally, you'll lower your chance of macular degeneration and maintain your vision.

Reduced Digital Eye Strain

The impacts of digital eye strain can be witnessed after a few hours in front of a screen. Irritated or dry eyes, blurred vision, and general eye tiredness are all symptoms. The Vision Council reports that 59% of people experience digital eye strain! Anti-blue light glasses will filter out damaging blue light, allowing you to see properly without feeling digital eye strain.

Reduced Migraines and Headaches

Both headaches and migraines can be triggered by blue light emitted by electronic devices. Migraines are excruciatingly painful, impair your ability to concentrate on chores, and will have you reaching for your medicines daily. Blue light filtering glasses can alleviate headaches and migraines, allowing you to work comfortably in front of your computer.

Productivity Enhancement

Another advantage is that these glasses boost productivity. When your head hurts and your eyes are uncomfortable, it's difficult to concentrate on work or be productive. Computer glasses will boost your productivity and precision, allowing you to do work more quickly than ever before.

EYE CARE TIPS FOR THE AUSTRALIAN SUMMER 2021 – HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES DURING SUMMER?

Summer comes and you reach for sunscreen to protect your skin, remember to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, as well. Did you know that too much UV light can be harmful to the health of your eyes? The summer in Australia is tough to match. As you know we all prefer to spend time outside during the summer. Because of the warm weather, clean beaches, and outdoor lifestyle, we spend much time soaking up rays and enjoying the sun. Here are some pointers to keep your eyes healthy during summer.

Wear Sunglasses with Ultraviolet Protection

The simplest way to protect your eyes from harmful UV radiation is to always wear sunglasses when you go outside. They are used not only as a fashion accessory but also as the most effective form of UV protection. A good pair of sunglasses can block 100% UV rays while also filtering up to 90% visible light. When it comes to sunglasses, the Australian Cancer Council recommends wearing close-fitting, wraparound style sunglasses.

Prescription Sunglasses

Prescription sunglasses can be used by those who currently use spectacles. If you can't locate a pair of prescription sunglasses that match your face, budget, or personal fashion sense, use contact lenses behind your ordinary sunglasses. AusSpecs is a leading seller of prescription sunglasses, while almost every pair of eyeglasses listed on the AusSpecs website can be converted into sunglasses as required. In addition, we sell photochromic optical lenses, graduated tinted lenses, and normal sunglasses tinting.

Contact Lenses and Goggles

During the summer, we love playing water sports. Contact lenses are the best option if you want to be able to see under the water. The water in the pool or the ocean contains a lot of chlorine, which can irritate your eyes. Your eyes would be protected from contaminated water by wearing contact lenses and protective goggles.

Wear a Hat

Sunglasses may not provide complete eye protection since they have gaps all around them that expose your eyes to harmful UV radiation. Wearing a wide hat may give extra protection while also protecting you against a kind of skin cancer that affects both the lower eyelid and the corners of your eyes.

Lens Quality and Coating

It is highly recommended to buy high-quality lenses; low-cost lenses have so much light distortion that they can give users headaches. The important thing is to use lenses that do not distort the light. Ensure that your prescription glasses have a scratch-resistant UV coating of high quality. Scratches on lenses cause glare, which increases the amount of distorted light entering the eyes.

Importance of Eye care in summer

Repeated exposure to UV radiation can cause both short-term and long-term problems in our eyes, as well as permanent eye damage. Overexposure to UV light has also been linked to a variety of long-term eye problems.

Most of us realize the necessity of eye care after it is too late. When it comes to protecting eyes from the UV rays, starting early is essential. Children's ocular lenses are not as developed as adults, making their eyes more vulnerable to UV light. Instill the habit of wearing sunscreen and sunglasses in them from a young age. Another interesting fact that many people are unaware of is that UV exposure of eyes is highest between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. and between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. When the sun is lower in the sky, making these the most important times to wear sunglasses to protect against UV and reduce the glare.

The good news is that the advanced eyeglass technologies today can provide better protection than ever before. This included polarized sunglasses for reduced glare and visual discomfort, as well as the convenience of prescription sunglasses.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PRESCRIPTION GLASSES LIKE A PRO?

Rinse Before wiping or cleaning, rinse your prescription glasses with water. Any tiny dust or dirt particles will settle on your lens and it can be abrasive if you wipe them around on a dry lens.Spray CarefullyIf you are using a chemical, use sprays or cleansers that are specifically made to clean eyeglass lenses.Air DryAllow your eyeglasses to dry in the air if you can. This is another great way to keep all the materials from getting on to your lens. If you can’t put them down to dry air, wipe them off with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.Use the Right ClothPaper towels, tissues, and napkins, no matter how soft they are on your skin, have a textured surface, and can easily scratch your lenses. Also, do not use the tail of your shirt. The fibers in the fabric will scratch the eyeglass lens over time if the garment is not 100% cotton. AusSpecs provides free scratch resistant coating and free micro fiber cloth with protective cases for every pair of eyeglasses bought.Grip FirmlyHold your frames by gripping the piece that crosses the bridge of your nose. This will prevent you from accidentally bending the frame while you’re cleaning it. Bent glasses can have a negative impact on the way you see out of your eyeglasses. Plus, if your frames are bent out of shape, you’re more likely to feel uncomfortable.Store ProperlyStore your glasses when you don’t wear them. Not only this is a perfect way to keep your eyeglasses free from dust and debris, but it also prevents your eyeglass from being scratched, bent, or broken. If you don’t want to have a big, bulky case, sleeker ones are available. Microfiber pouches are perfect for your glasses at your desk or at your nightstand and you don’t really wear them all the time, like reading glasses.Establish good habits for wearing your glasses, especially if you have a prescription lens that you rely on most of the time. Correct wear habits will help prevent warping. When you take off your glasses, don’t just push them to the top of your head. Generally, the top of the head is wider than the face and the frames can be widened by setting your glasses. If your glasses slip down your nose, avoid putting pressure on the nose piece to hold them back. If you’ve got wire glasses, this motion can distort the piece of the nose. When you remove it and put it on, use both hands, one on either temple arm. This motion encourages correct alignment and minimizes changes to your frame fit over time. If you often lose or misplace your glasses, you may also want to invest in a cord of glasses. A cord is preferred to place the glasses in a shirt pocket or to hang them from the neck of your shirt because these positions encourage warping.To keep your prescription glasses intact and usable before you upgrade to your next pair, follow these detailed guidelines.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FOGGY EYEGLASSES DURING RAINY SEASON?

Wearing eye glasses during rainy season brings little bit discomfort, and there are chances that glasses might start to fog up and make it hard to see. Weather or the temperature around is responsible for eye glasses to become foggy or steamy. Humid summers combined with the car air conditioning will produce the fogging in lenses.

On a daily basis, majority of eyeglass wearers are familiar with this annoyance. Luckily, clearing the fogging from your prescription glasses is manageable. If you are an eye glass wearer you need to know about the lenses which can easily get dirty and lenses which are prone to cloudiness. By adopting some careful methods you can clean your own hazy, foggy eye glasses and can improve your visibility.

How can the eyeglasses fog be avoided?

Foggy eyeglasses are not only irritating but can also pose threat to safety. Hence, it is essential for the eye glass wearers to stay fog-free. A few simple tips to stay-free from the eye glass fogging as follows:

Reusable anti-fog wipes

Anti-fog wipes can reduce the surface tension to prevent the forming of water droplets. But these treatments can provide only temporary fog-resistant layer on our glasses. This is a perfect solution for the glasses which are not having built-in-anti-fog coatings.

Choose the right frame for your eyewear

When choosing the frames, always pick a style that allows more air circulation. Less airflow will make the lenses more prone to fogging. So the frames that do not sit close to your eyes will allow more air circulation. Slight adjustment of the nose pads or arms will also help you keep your glasses where they belong.

Wear a headband while workout or play

Sweat on our face also will cause the fog-glass. Wearing a headband while doing any physical activities like work out or play a sport will help you to reduce the sweat condensation that can build up on your eyeglasses.

Add anti-fog coating on your lenses

Anti-fog coating will block the moisture that could stick to your lenses. You can use either a temporary or permanent anti-fog coating for your lenses. If you decide to have an anti-fog coating, then you should stop yourself from touching or wiping the lenses which may cause the coating to peel-off.

Pick fog-free materials

Fogging of eye glasses depend the material we choose. Some lens materials are easily get fogged and some other materials like polycarbonate and plastic lenses might resist fogging. In order to minimize fogging, prescription glasses that rest further from the face also allow air to circulate around the lenses. Anti-fog technology is commonly used in sports lenses.

With more than 12 years in serving the Australian customers, AusSpecs is exceptional in providing quality eyeglasses. We sell latest designs from around the world and fashionable glasses for all occasions. You can buy outstanding Frames and Lenses at its best price in AusSpecs.

FOUR BENEFITS OF WEARING PROGRESSIVE LENSES AND WHY YOU NEED THEM?

There is no better accessory that elevates your style as fast as a pair of eyeglasses. The eyeglasses are bound to be part of any fashion lover wardrobe. Spectacle trends are so popular no matter you wear them as prescription glasses or plain or as a fashion statement. The trendy eye-catching glasses can definitely give your look a refresh. At AusSpecs you can select coolest eyeglasses for both men and women from our vast collections.

To understand what progressive lenses, one needs to know about bifocals and trifocals. A bifocal has two lens powers, one for distance vision, and the other for near vision. Similarly, the trifocals will have three powers with extra intermediate power to see objects at arm’s length. Both bifocals and trifocals will have visible lines on the lenses that make it look ugly sometimes. Unlike bifocal and trifocals lenses, progressive lenses are line-free and look exactly the same as single vision lenses.  Hence, it can be called no-line bifocals.

Six types of Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses differ in price depends on its brand, size and function. The main classifications are as follows;

·        Standard Progressive Lenses

·        Short Corridor Progressive Lenses

·        Computer Progressive Lenses

·        Premium Progressive Lenses

·        Ground-view Progressive Lenses and

·        Transitions Progressive Lenses

Why do you need Progressive Lenses?

Those who are in the age bracket of 40+ struggle with focusing problem, and hence need corrective lenses to see distant objects clearly. That doesn’t mean they have to wear bifocal or trifocals. Line-free progressive lenses are the best choice for them to see objects clearly at multiple distances without a bifocal line. Buying progressive lenses provides a simpler, more convenient solution to age-related vision problems.

Benefits of Using Progressive Lenses

·        The shift between lens strengths is gradual in progressive lenses and hence such glasses are very easy to get used to. In bifocal lenses, you will feel an abrupt jump between different focus, but progressive lenses will allow your eyes to move smoothly and comfortably between prescriptions strengths with a more natural and easy feel

·        In bifocals, the line between two different strengths of lenses can be highly visible and distracting. Progressive lenses are free with lines which can make your new prescription easier to adjust with minimal time and discomfort.

·        The threat of eye fatigue can be eliminated with progressive lenses for comfortable experience. The progressive lenses can offer precision vision correction under any circumstances. Without switching your eyeglasses, progressive lenses allow you to have a clear vision in any different situations because ‘Distance viewing’ field is built into the upper portion of the lens and ‘near vision’ field built into the lower portion of the lens to address separate visual needs in one lens.

·        Lines on traditional bifocals are often associated with aging. Progressive lenses can be used to get rid of the unattractive line and can give you a more youthful appearance. Your eyes can be seen clearly behind the progressive eyeglasses

You can buy more sleek, modern and comfortable progressive lens glasses at AusSpecs with an affordable price range. They are serving the Australians over ten years with exceptional quality prescription glasses.

Suggestions for computer users – anti-reflective coatings

The advancement in technology has made computers indispensable for every human being. Whether you are a busy professional who has no other alternative apart from using your PC or a stay-at-home-mom who is on a lookout for parenting tips, computers are our only way to access the vast knowledge that exists on the World Wide Web.

With increasing dependency, the amount of time we spend in front of computers has also increased dramatically. However, most of us are worried about one common big issue, the extent of damage that our eyes have to suffer. The age-old saying that watching too much TV or using the computer for too long will make your eyes go square may not be true but it is scientifically proven that using computers for long hours can damage your eyes. The damage is usually temporary and if left unattended, it may become severe and might cause permanent damage. Some of the temporary issues that are often found in frequent computer users are headaches, itchy eyes, watery eyes, blurred vision, burning sensation in eyes, etc. The main reason for such issues is eyestrain that occurs due to overworking. When you overwork, your eyes also get strained but straining is more severe when you overwork on your PC i.e. look at the screen for extended hours without frequent breaks. The glare that comes out of the screen of your laptop or PC is also a big reason for eyestrain.

We at AusSpecs highly recommend you to use anti-glare while using your PC for long hours. If you don’t have an anti-glare coating on your lenses, it’s high time you must buy a new pair or coat the existing ones. The glare coming from the screen makes it difficult for your eyes to see the screen and this strains your eyes. Using antiglare coated along with anti-glare PC screens will minimize the strain and keep your eyes healthy. Apart from using anti-glare screens, here are some tips that will help you keep your eyes happy and safe. This is an example of fluro lights indicating a green reflection which shows that anti-reflective coating has been applied to the glasses

Make sure the screen of your PC or laptop is positioned in a way that you have to look straight and slightly down. This is the natural way our eyes look at things.

Tilting the screen will prevent the glare from striking your eyes. Reflections bouncing from the ceiling will also be minimized.

Having screen at odd positions or angles can increase the strain. Never have your screen positioned higher than your eye level.

You should maintain the appropriate distance from the screen. The minimum recommended distance is 18 to 20 inches.

Most people don’t realize that they blink less when they are using PCs. Blinking lubricates our eyes and when you blink less your eyes tend to dry out quickly and get tired. Other symptoms of dry eyes include redness and watery eyes. You, therefore, must make a conscious effort to blink more.

We agree that avoiding laptops and PCs is not possible in this tech age, therefore, AusSpecs recommend you to take appropriate care of your eyes so that they suffer minimum damage.

Reading Glasses – A misleading Term

Well, in fact, it really can be and some of our long term clients have even been caught with people advertising Reading Glasses for only a few dollars only to find that they have not purchased what they expected.

So why is this misleading? well, it is because these may well be and usually are just magnifying glasses that can be purchased at any Chemist Shop. That being said, Is it safe to use Magnifying glasses? Yes it is perfectly fine to use these glasses if your prescription dictates only Plus (positive) value Spheres and they represent good value for a pair of glasses under $20

A word of warning though, if you have cylinder values, axis or prisms values on your prescription you need prescription glasses so steer well clear of magnifying glasses as there is every chance you will be damaging your eye. Just a little bit of information.

What if my script has Negative Sphere values, are these for reading. Nope. Just the opposite as these lenses are for distance viewing. AusSpecs.com.au can Distance and reading glasses to your own prescription for a pittance compared to the retail outlets

Cleaning Your optical lenses

You know there are many ways to spend money needlessly and equally many ways to save it. A classic example is spending good money on expensive cleaning fluids. Great for the retail stores but not for you. I will share a simple and most effective trick for cleaning your glasses. Mild soap and warm water. It works a treat and cost zip! Some people mention that the nose pads tend to go green quicker. Maybe but these are easily replaced and your glasses will last a lot longer without scratches.

One thing I must stress as sternly as possible, never never use tissues to clean your glasses. Tissues are made from wood and are as good as sandpaper. It won't happen overnight but it will happen! Eventually, you will start to see a film like an appearance on your lenses. These are in fact minute little scratches and they will cost you a new pair of glasses

Just a note. Scratch-resistant coatings are just that, resistant. Lenses will scratch if you treat them roughly and then we look forward to seeing you again at www.ausspecs.com.au

How to choose frames that complement your face

Choosing the exact frame that suits your face as well as addresses your visibility remains a challenge for many people.

Frames come in different colors and shapes but not all of them suit everyone.

They shouldn’t be only used for comfort and usability; instead they must be something that reflect your personality and enhance your look. Therefore, you must choose frames that can show off your style and make you look great. It is now scientifically proven that we all have different face shapes. No matter what type of face you are gifted with, choosing the right pair of frames can enhance your looks.

If you are going to order your glasses from AusSpecs and are confused about choosing the right frame; here are some helpful tips that will help you. Frames for oval shaped faces Oval faces appear to be longer than their width, with forehead slightly wider than the jaw.

Such faces are one of the most common varieties. If you have an oval shaped face, always buy frames that are wider than the broader part of your face. Walnut- shaped frames that are not too deep or narrow will suit almost everyone having an oval face. Rectangular frames look great on grownup men.

Rectangular faces Such people have a longer face with a square chin, a longer nose, and a strong jaw. If you are one of them, square frames will suit you the best and will make your face appear shorter and even. A frame with a low bridge will make your long nose appear shorter and will balance the overall appearance of your face.

Triangle faces A triangular face may have a broad forehead. The width of the face narrows down and has a rounded chin. Frames that are wider at the bottom will minimize the width of the upper part of the face and will give a balanced look. Small squared-shaped frames or rounded frames would also look good on such faces. Choose frames that are made of light material and have soft colors. Rimless frames can also be a good option.

Square faces Those with a square face have a strong jaw line and a broad forehead. Narrow frames particularly oval and round frames, having more width than depth can help you soften the angles of a square chin and will give an elongated look to the face. Such frames will also give a soft look to the jaw line.

Round faces Basically round faces have full cheeks and a rounded chin, so you would need frames that will make your face appear longer than it is. Since the width and the length of a round face is proportionally similar, you must choose a frame that will give more clarity to your face as well as a wide look to your eyes. Angular narrow frames will help you achieve this. Frames that are more rectangular and wider will balance the shape of your face.

Pyramid faces Pyramid shaped faces has a narrow forehead, wider cheeks, and widest chin. Therefore, your frame should be something that adds weight to the upper part of your frame. Choose frame that has detailing on the upper part and is bright in color. Such frames will attract attention and will give an evenhanded look to you. We At AusSpecs have a wide variety of frames designed to suit all face shapes and structures. All our frames are made of superior quality material in order to last longer. Ordering online from us is much easier than you can imagine. Check out our website for more details.

Suggestions for ordering prescription glasses online

This is purely because of the misconceptions that potential buyers have in their mind. We at Ausspecs spoke to many such potential buys and found that most of them doubt the quality of the glasses that are sold online.

To buy glasses that fit you well, you will need to know your Pupillary distance abbreviated as PD. PD used to position the optical centre of the glasses so that they fit you well along with giving you a clear vision. This measurement is often not mentioned in the prescriptions because optometrists use this retention of the measurement to force you to return to their store to purchase your glasses. If PD is missing in your prescription, request your optometrist to check and provide you with the measurement.

Apart from fitting, the material of the frame is also an important thing to consider. Make sure you read the details before you order your prescription eyeglasses.
