Cartier Glasses – Choosing the Perfect Frames for You

Designer Cartier glasses are a great choice whether you wear your spectacles all the time or just for reading. When you wear glasses it is important they feel comfortable and suit your face. There is nothing worse than wearing glasses that pinch your head or look out-dated and unfashionable.

Choosing the Right Lenses

Your optician will carry out an eye test for you to determine what prescription your lenses need to be to adjust your eyesight. Then you will have a few choices to make when it comes to the type of lenses for your new Cartier glasses:

Anti-Reflective Coating – this helps to prevent light reflecting off your glasses. This can not only cause problems for you but can also create a ‘mirror’ effect which can prevent people from seeing your eyes clearly in bright conditions. This is a good option for anyone who works with computers a lot or does a lot of driving at night.

Anti-Scratch Coating – this is a must-have to help keep your lenses looking good for as long as possible.

Plastic Lenses – plastic lenses have come on a long way in recent years. These offer a cheaper and more lightweight option that is rapidly overtaking glass as the standard for prescription lenses.

Choosing the Right Frames

The most important aspect of your frames is that they fit your face properly. They must be wide enough so that they do not pinch your head and the arms must be long enough to fit comfortably behind your ears. You can take some basic measurements of these key areas yourself if you are buying Cartier glasses online or you can ask your optician to help you find the right fit for Cartier glasses.

Style is also important when it comes to choosing glasses. There are not strict rules and sometimes it is just a case of trying on Cartier glasses until you find a pair you like. Generally though the following guidelines apply:

Rectangle frames compliment rounder face shapes and help to create definition.

Rounder frames can soften out more angular face shapes.

Try to find frame colours that compliment your skin tone such as blue, black or grey for cool skin tones and pink, gold, peach or soft orange for warm skin tones.

With Cartier glasses you can be sure you are getting a quality product that will feel as good as it looks. You can find some great styles online to suit your budget and requirements.
