Eye Glasses Frame

You can do nothing to prevent long-sightedness:
After the age of 45 eye glasses become a fact of life. This can be a shock for these women who have never worn them before. All the more reason t invest in attractive glasses that enhance the way you want to look.

Now and again or all the time?
If bifocals and half-moon glasses are out of the questions, you are left with two options; multifocals (varifocals), which allow you to see things at various distances, and 'reading' eye glass frame, which only correct your close vision. The first, although considerably more expensive, can be worn all day without giving away the fact that you are long-sighted. However, you may find it hard to do without them, even when you are wearing an evening dress or playing sport. As for the second type, you will have to get used to constantly taking them on and off and frequently looking for them. The answer to this is to buy some cords of different colors that match your different outfits and wear your glasses around your neck without giving it a second thought. Accessing your long-sightedness is the first step towards accepting your age.

Frames really matter
It's worth taking time over the choice of frames, because glasses that don't suit your face will put ten years on you. Their shape and color definitely must not clash with your style and personality. When you are trying them on, look at yourself in a compact mirror and direct it towards a larger one. This will give you a better idea of how others will see you. Ask a friend t go with you to the optician's, as the advice of a third person is always valuable. If your budget allows it, invest in three or four different frames, so that you can match them with your different clothes.

Some Facts

• Buy hard cases for your glasses - they will offer better protection. Choose a brightly coloured case - it will be much easier to find in your handbag.
• Hang spare pairs of glasses by a cod in all 'strategic' places, such as the bathroom and the kitchen.
