My ex broke my Glasses and I broke up with him!

I put my alarm off before it rang and sat on my bed awake an hour early than usual. I stared at the man occupying the other side, wide and bulky, shirtless, half mouth open, drooling on my peach linen sheets. I was waking up to this sight past 4 months and for the past one it had gone from cute to nasty.

I glanced at my book shelf saw the perfect glasses he had gifted me, that lay steady at the same space, went straight to get coffee, dressed for work and left without a goodbye. I'd see him in the evening sprawled on my couch anyway. I was an hour early and decided to walk instead of the tube, I could do with some calm silence again this week. I walked past the park and remembered how Gary and I had met over our morning run. His perfectly sculpted body, broad shoulders and masculinity flexing through his grey sweatshirt had me fallen in love at sight. We laughed, talked, went for dinners and moved in post a week of nonchalant romance.

Soon after Gary's real estate work depiction was out in open, his fake client calls stopped, he stopped stepping out for pretentious work and usually ate outs my fridge, drank my hidden wine and suspiciously increased my phone bill. I knew my innocent ever believing petite self had fallen prey to this act. I fell outa love just as fast as I fell into it.

I reached work, stayed longer than required and took a tube home uninterested. I unlocked the door and went straight in my bedroom to run a bath, I glanced at my shelf as a habit and noticed my perfect pair of glasses had a glass broken. Even though I stopped wearing them, they were a rare pair and I did love them regardless of Gary. Before I could question, Gary walked up behind me and said "Yeah, I dropped those while grabbing a book, you don't wear them anyways " that's all the trigger I needed and all that suppressed anger came out in as go. "That's it Gary, you have to leave" I started picking up his belongings " Now" I said firmly. That glass was waiting to be worn so had my pride. Just like those perfect glasses I broke my stance and stepped up. I slammed the door on his back as he walked out, poured a glass of wine and logged onto perfectglasses.co.uk to get myself an immediate new pair to renew my style and pay my patience.

Will I Really Find Glasses Online that are Perfect for me?

By Manish Keswani On a regular two hour drive from London to Birmingham, all I had was a tablet for my company and of course, Dave the driver who seemed confident and looked smart too. Oops...Was I falling for his looks? No, noway! But what grabbed my attention was a perfect looking pair of prescription glasses that looked extremely good because they suited him so well! I thought to myself about how much can a pair of glasses really do to make one look good while enabling him to see clearly! I wear prescription glasses too and I recalled my last visit to a retailer from whom I purchased this pair from? My glasses look good but his spectacles looked better. Was he even wearing prescription glasses? Or were they just a pair of blank lenses?

Finally, I decided to ask, “Dave have you bought these pair of glasses from the UK? Yes, he said “I always buy my glasses online”. Since, I discovered that prescription spectacles can be so much cheaper while being absolutely perfect, even when they bought online.”

I reached out for my tablet to buy my prescription glasses online. It was amazing! Glasses UK is what I googled that’s when Dave told me “Just look for Perfect Glasses”. “Perfect Glasses”? I enquired. “Yes, that’s where I found my perfect pair of glasses online may be you will too!” Said Dave.

As I browsed through their website I tried several pairs of glasses using their virtual mirror software. I was fascinated about being able to try glasses online while wanting to buy glasses online. I ordered a couple of pairs that flattered the way I looked. I had nothing to lose with the 100% money back guarantee that was offered. “Perfect”, I said to myself. And when my prescription glasses arrived the day after the next, I absolutely loved them. “Perfect once again” I said to myself.

Are Prescription Sunglasses Worth It?

Author: Skye Spencer

Prescription sunglasses are the ultimate fashion and functional accessories. However, there has been an ongoing debate about the use of prescription sunglasses. Many people feel that they are an essential necessity while there are others who think that prescription sunglasses are overrated.

Initially people with prescription could not wear sunglasses as their glasses were completely indispensable. However, today any pair of fashion sunglasses can easily be converted into prescription sunglasses.

Prescription sunglasses are an irreplaceable asset especially if you find it difficult to carry day to day activities like driving without your eyeglasses. Let’s take a look at the differing opinions and check for ourselves if prescription sunglasses are worth all the credit they get!

You may think you don’t need prescription sunglasses if you...

....wear eyeglasses with Transition/ Photochromic Lenses

Many eyewear users prefer to use Photochromic/Transition lenses for eyeglasses. They adjust to all lighting conditions. Photochromic lenses are sun reactive and change into a darker tint when exposed to sunlight. However, beware that they may not provide the required UV protection.

....wear contact lenses

Many people prefer to wear prescription contact lenses with their fashion sunglasses. However, contact lenses can irritate your eyes and can serve as a breeding ground for bad bacteria which can lead to eye infections. Hence, prescription sunglasses are highly recommended instead of using expensive contact lenses.

....use clip-on or magnetic sun lenses

Clip-on lenses can be very tedious to use. At times, you may also forget to carry them when you go out. They can also be fragile and need to be handled carefully.

....may find prescription sunglasses expensive

Most people think that prescription sunglasses are expensive and drill a hole in their pocket. However, they provide a complete package. Considering the UV protection, glare reduction, vision improvement and style they offer, you get maximum value for your investment in a pair of prescription sunglasses.

We think you need prescription sunglasses because...

...they reduce glare

Prescription sunglasses help to minimize glare. They definitely improve the depth perception and vision clarity. So when you are on the road driving, you don’t have to worry about the sun’s glare piercing your eyes.

....they have several polarization benefits

Whether you go fishing, navigating or on a road trip; having prescription sunglasses with polarised lenses can significantly reduce the glare. It protects your eyes from light emanating from reflective surfaces like water, concrete pavement, snowy surfaces and sand. Hence, the next time you go fishing or hit the highway for a road trip, you won’t have to worry about the glare.

....they provide vision improvement

Prescription sunglasses enhance your vision optimally. Having prescription sunglasses is especially crucial if you have a stronger prescription and cannot drive without your eyeglasses. Prescription sunglasses protect and improve your vision significantly. Sunglasses protect your eyes against dirt specks and dust particles.  They also do not make your eyes tear unlike contact lenses.

....they are affordable

Getting specialized polarised lenses can be slightly on the expensive side. However, the benefits of these lenses outdo their cost. Also, prescription sunglasses are costlier than eyeglasses but when you compare them with the cost of the contact lenses, they are dirt cheap.

....they provide UV protection

World over, people are increasingly growing aware about the harmful effects of UV exposure.  Harmful UV rays can cause eye irritation, macular degeneration and even several types of cancers. Many types of non melanoma and melanoma skin cancers can affect the eyelid area. It is also a site for cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Hence, prescription sunglasses are essential for protecting your eyes from the ultraviolet rays.

....they look amazing

Sunglasses can really perk up a drab outfit and make you look like a fashionista. No matter which look you are carrying, the right pair of sunglasses can help you make a bold style statement. Prescription sunglasses have the best of both worlds and guess what? They allow you to command attention while simultaneously providing vision care.

Now that you know why prescription sunglasses are worth every penny that you spend, do not forget to try on a few shapes and styles before zeroing in on your favourite one.

Why Rimless Frames can be your favourite Eyeglasses

Author: Skye Spencer

If you are someone who likes to keep things simple, then probably rimless frames will be the best prescription glasses for you. Wearing rimless frame ensures that your quality of vision will not get affected adversely; in fact it will only be enhanced. These minimalistic glasses will give you a smart and sleek look. It will definitely help you to have a positive first impression. Here are our top reasons why rimless eyeglasses can be your favourite eyewear.

Natural Look

Many people who need prescription glasses are apprehensive about wearing them as they feel that the frame does not allow your natural beauty to shine through. However, rimless glasses do not hide your prominent cheekbones or your beautiful eyes. They simply enhance your beauty without affecting your natural look. 

Weightless Glasses

Rimless glasses are completely lightweight as they do not have a heavy frame. Hence, they are highly recommended for people who wear their glasses throughout the day. There has been a rising trend in teenagers to wear rimless glasses as they are not only weightless and comfortable but also look great! 

No Indentations 

Most sturdy and heavy frames leave tell tale marks on the face. However, with rimless frames, you do not have to worry about the indentation marks left by frames on the bridge of the nose and on the sides of the face where the temples rest. They are completely weightless do not cause spectacle marks. 

Classy and Fashionable

Rimless glasses have been around for more than a century, but they are still trendy and classy. Only screws and bridges connect the lenses and temples. So, it will appear as if you are not wearing any glasses at all, simultaneously revealing more aspects of the face. Hence, these glasses are preferred by many over bulky metal frames and even semi-rimless glasses. 

Perfect Fit for Most Faces

You don’t have to worry whether your frame will fit your face or slide off. Semi rimless frames have staples or screws at the temples which make them rest on your nose tightly without allowing them to fall off. Hence, they are a one size fits all for various face shapes. 

Suitable for all Face Shapes

Rimless frames in round, rectangle, oval or square shape look sophisticated and can be worn by people with any face shape. Oblong, heart, oval, round, square, etc., whatever your face shape or complexion; rimless glasses will give you a clean sophisticated look.

Barely There Glasses

If you are someone who looks at glasses as a strictly functional accessory and are searching for a minimalistic pair, then ‘rimless’ glasses can be your best option. Rimless glasses are understated and do not cry out ‘look at me’ unlike other bold acetate frames. They have a subtle presence without a glaring outline and will make you feel as if you are not wearing any glasses at all. 

Sophisticated Style

Kate Beckinsale looks stunning and graceful in her rimless glasses. Look at the way they create an illusion of a perfectly symmetrical face. Rimless frames are not obtrusive for your overall look and makeup. In fact, they always add a touch of high class sophistication and glamour to your face.

Intellectual Look

Rimless glasses can give you a smart, well read and professional look. Don’t believe me? Here is a study conducted by scientist Helmut Leder in 2011 that proves our point - The Glasses Stereotype Revisited: Effects of Glasses on Perception, Recognition and Impressions on Faces. 

His analysis was based on three parameters:

a.    Men without glasses

b.    Men with rimless glasses

c.    Men with full-rimmed glasses

Here’s a table detailing the interesting findings. Wearing rimless glasses will make you look ‘MORE’ intelligent, go figure out for yourself!

Trustworthy

One look at this Steve Job’s photo and you will feel that he is a man you can trust. Eye contact plays an important role in positive body language. Rimless glasses do not have a frame; and your eyes are clearly visible through the lenses. Also, rimless frames give a very neat, confident and mature look. Hence, rimless frame wearers are often perceived as genuine and trustworthy individuals who have nothing to hide behind dark frames. 

Easily Customized

Many times, the shape of the frame dictates the shape, type and size of lenses. So there may not be much freedom about choosing your lenses with semi rimmed and full rimmed frames. However, if you are going for rimless frames, there is absolutely no restriction for the shape and size of lenses. 

Ideal for Thick Lenses

Rimless glasses can compliment your thick lenses, if you have a stronger prescription. You can go for thick or thin lenses as per you requirement but as there is no frame, the weight of your frame will still be lighter. 

Cost Effective

Rimless frames are not as expensive as full rimmed or semi rimmed frames. You can rather choose to invest your money in selecting good quality lenses. At Perfect Glasses, you can select from our customized lens packages of 1.61 index high impact thin lenses , 1.67 index ultra thin lenses and 1.74 index wafer thin lenses for weightless lenses and vision clarity at an affordable cost. 

Vast Field of Vision

Unlike big and bulky frames, rimless glasses do not have a front frame to obstruct your view. Hence, they provide a wide field of vision and unmatched clarity which makes them a popular choice for many glasses wearers.

Valuable Tips

Clean your lenses with microfiber cloth

Handle them with care as they are easily susceptible to bending

If you see a misalignment, get them corrected immediately

Do not forget to get anti-reflective coatings for your glasses

Opt for either polycarbonate or Hi index lenses

Choose a titanium rimless frame with staple mounting

Select from various rimless designs with coloured and textured arms.

How to Look Great with Glasses

Author -Skye Spencer

Many women think that eye glasses can steal their beauty and make them look frumpy. If you are thinking on the same lines, it can shake your confidence and affect your self-image in an adverse way. It’s high time you move away from all such beliefs that do not allow you to be yourself.

Shape and Size of Glasses

One trick to wear the right glasses is to get them in the exact opposite shape of your face. For example if you have a round face; angular, straight brow rectangular or square shaped frames will look best on you. People with oval faces can practically pull off any frame.

Choose Thin Lenses

If you have a strong prescription, chances are that your eyes may look magnified through the thick lenses. However, you can use thin lenses with higher precision like ours to avoid drawing attention to your face for all the wrong reasons. Visit perfectglasses.co.uk to know more about prescription lenses. 

Keep Your Glasses Clean

Smudgy glasses will not only affect the way you see but it will also impact the way others ‘see’ you! Hence, it is important that you clean face cheese and other gunk off your glasses from time to time for making the right impression. 

 Outfits and Glasses

We all feel confident when our accessories are in sync with our outfit. Hence, it is always advisable to match your frames with your LOTD (look of the day). Try to experiment with different frames to achieve the perfect look.

For example, if you are dressed for your office in a work shirt and skirt, you can go for thick full rimmed rectangular or cat eye eyeglasses to pull off the sexy librarian look. If you want to the try trendy clear frames, avoid wearing extremely dark colours and go for subtle pastels instead.

Try getting versatile frames like round shape, wayfarer, oversize butterfly shape, etc. as they will suit most of your outfits. Refrain from using narrow rectangular eyeglasses or aviators as your daily ‘go to’ frame. They may not compliment your every look.

Some Make up Valuable Tips

About Indents and Marks

Wear pressed powder foundation instead of liquid foundation if you are wearing eyeglasses. The later will surely leave marks where the arms touch your face.

Wear lightweight titanium frames, if you want to avoid heavy full rimmed frames from leaving a tell tale sign on the bridge of your nose. Weightless titanium frames do not leave an indent and also look extremely sophisticated on your face.

Groom Your Eyebrows

Keep your eyebrows well-groomed and neat. Pluck them regularly to give a clean look. Try to embolden them with a brown eyebrow gel or pencil. Remember to fill them in lightly to give a soft thick eyebrow look. Don’t overdo it or it may end up looking too gaudy.

Perfect Eye Makeup

Avoid too much eye makeup. Go for soft coloured eye shadows like shimmery pearl, champagne or light gold colours. Thick eyeliner or winged eyeliner will look great on the top lid and will enhance your look even through the glasses. Wear mascara that will increase volume of your lashes instead of lengthening them. Long lashes with mascara may easily smudge your glasses.

Try to Make Your Eyes Look Bigger

Highlight the inner corner of your eyes with a white pencil or eye shadow to give them a wide awake look! Avoid using black eyeliner on your waterline or tight line as it will make your eyes look smaller. Skip using eyeliner on the bottom line completely or use soft brown eyeliner instead of black while wearing glasses.

If you are wearing a heavy set full rimmed frame which will command attention; it is best to keep your eye makeup minimal. Add a pop of bright and bold colours to your lips and cheeks instead.

Apart from improving your vision and protecting eyes, there are many perks of wearing glasses. For starters your glasses can make you look like a complete intellectual. People who wear glasses are often found to be more approachable. You will also save a lot of money if you opt for glasses instead of contact lenses. Now that you know how to wear your specs with confidence, flash your best smile and strut your eyeglasses in style!

9 Aftercare Tips for Your Prescription glasses

So you have finally ordered your prescription glasses online. Whether your pair of prescription glasses is expensive or not, a little TLC will not only keep them in a good condition but also extend their life span. Simple precautions and few minutes every day can visibly increase the utility period of your prescription glasses. Here are few after care tips that you should know, once you buy a pair of prescription glasses.

Point to Ponder

Do not use alcohol, computer-cleaners, acetone, anti-bacterial soaps and Windex to clean your eyeglasses, as they will damage the coating on the lenses. 

Tip#1: Get Scratch Resistant Coatings

Do not forget to get scratch resistant coatings for your eyeglasses. When you order your prescription glasses online, there are many vendors who offer this service at a reduced cost. At Perfect Glasses, we offer 100% free scratch resistant coatings for every order you place. 

Tip#2: Keep Away From Heat

Never put your glasses in areas of excessive heat and high temperature. One of the major mistakes we all commit is putting our eyeglasses on the dashboard of the car; the sunlight reflected from the windshield can cause major damage to the frame and lenses. Similarly, avoid putting them on the counter of the kitchen or near the fireplace.

Tip#3: Use Microfiber Optical Cleaning Cloth ‘ONLY’

Avoid using anything other than a clean microfiber optical cleaning cloth to clean your lenses - even when it is tempting to use your t-shirt, tissues, old rags or wet wipes. Using pulp based materials to clean your eyeglasses can cause the wooden particles in them to scratch the lenses. These abrasive materials can also damage the coating on the eyeglasses. Also, use an eyeglass cleaning spray to thoroughly clean the lenses, refrain from using hot water, liquid soap, etc. You can use lukewarm to clean the lenses but using anything else can leave smears on them. 

Tip#4: Rest Your Glasses on Temples not on Lenses

It is essential that you handle your glasses with care. Many people have a bad habit of placing them on their heads when not using them, but this distorts the shape of the glasses and loosens the grip of the temples. Do not put them face down on a surface, it will scratch the lenses. Always put them in a hard-shell sturdy spectacle case in order to keep them safe. Wearing an eyeglass necklace to hold your prescription glasses can also add value to your style quotient. 

Tip#5: Handle With Care

Another ‘not so good’ way of handling the glasses is to pull them off by swooping at the temples from one side. This is a sure shot way to loosen the screws at the corners of the temples. Also many people have the habit of pushing the glasses at the bridge of the nose, it may cause discolouration in that area, so beware! Always take them out neatly with both hands, do not exert pressure on one side. 

Tip#6: Keep the Make-up Residue at Bay

Face cheese which is a mixture of make-up grime, oil, grease, and dead cells may settle in the nooks and corners of spectacle nose pads and lenses causing smudges to appear on them. Also do not put your eyeglasses on the top of your vanity or sink. Perfume sprays, cosmetics and hair sprays can have an inverse effect on the anti-reflective coating. 

Tip#7: Don’t Share Your Glasses

Refrain from sharing your eyeglasses. It can stretch the grip of the temples. You don’t want your glasses to pop out when you are giving an important presentation or the interview of your dream job. 

Tip#8: Purchase an Eyeglass Repair Kit

Buy an eyeglass repair kit for your glasses. It will come handy to tighten the loose screws which will allow the glasses to rest firmly on the bridge of your nose. 

Tip#9: Keep Corrosion Away

Avoid eyeglass cleaning products which can cause corrosion or have ammonia in them. They will tarnish frames and scratch the lenses. Visit perfectglasses.co.uk for some of the best corrosion free Titanium prescription glasses in UK. 

Always ensure that your eyeglasses are clean before you put them on. Unclean glasses can lead to eye infections. Try to get the screws of your glasses adjusted every 3 months; this will definitely keep them in a working condition for a long time.  Implement all these tips, especially, if you are proud owners of expensive designer prescription glasses as you would want them to last longer. You can also provide aftercare for your prescription sunglasses in a similar way.
