Eyeglasses As A Fashion Accessory

By Manpreet Kaur & Dr. Prerna (Punjab Agricultural University)
The "right" pair of sunglasses can make you feel ever so cool. Invest in a pair that will protect your eyes from damaging UV rays.UV radiation can cause damage to the cornea, lens and other parts of your eyes. A day in the sun can leave you with a burned cornea or two. More long-term sun exposure can result in clouding of the lens of your eye, blurring vision, and can lay the groundwork for some types of cataracts.
Bigger is better since larger glasses cover a greater area of your face. Wraparound is best. Sunglasses come in a vast array of styles, shapes and colors. It can be confusing to determine which your best choice is.
If you are looking for designer sunglasses but are unsure which brand name is right for you, be sure to shop at a variety of stores or one shop with a large selection so that you can try on styles from many different lines.
Designer and celebrity sunglasses tend to be pricier, and often have more expensive upgrades such as jewels and inlays with unique patterns and designs. Attractive designer logos may be etched or inlaid in high-end frames. To help you decide which designer or celebrity sunglass style best fits your personal style and budget.

Picking out the ideal sunglasses for your face shape isn’t as easy as you might think. There are frames that work to set off your killer features, and there are frames that … don’t. So how do you know which ones are right for you? First, you’ll need to figure out whether your face is round, oval, heart, or square. Having trouble deciding? Our easy-to-use guide will help you find the right fit. Trust us: You’ll find your perfect pair in no time!
Now that you’ve found your face shape, it’s time to start shopping for your perfect shades.
The narrowest point of a heart-shaped face is at the jaw line. Any frames that are wider on the top than they are on the bottom work well.
An oval face is longer than it is wide. You can pull off any round or square frame. Keep proportion in mind, and try not to go too big or too small for your face.
A round face is widest across the cheekbone and narrows some at the forehead and jaw line. Oversized, rectangular and angular frames set off roundness.
This face has a strong jaw, wide forehead, and wide cheek-bones. To soften these features, choose sunnies with soft lines or rimless edges.
