I used to wear glasses since elementary but now, I just don it when my eyes and head aches. Well, not really a good practice but lately, with the constant computer sessions, I need to have a few minutes break from time to time. Most often, if I need to really spend more hours doing some photo editing, I wake up the next day feeling heavy and blue. I would have preferred contact lenses but I was told that my eye ratings are not yet good for these type.
But before I head out to my optometrist, I checked out the net on what style’s available. Where do I start? I googled and came up with this New York Times article that listed how to cope in this hard economic times with eye care including resources and links where one can avail of cheap frames. One of the site listed is Zenni Optical that provides affordable eyeglasses in different and beautiful styles. Just perfect on where to look one!
I was looking for something that is contemporary, elegant yet not too obtrusive and stylish. Almost not there. Looking through the extensive gallery, I finally found the one type that I like: 2105 Rimless Flexible (Memory) Titanium. It is rimless, durable with its metal alloy with titanium temples and, like other products with this metal, very light. The frame is available in five colors and am looking at the silver or burgundy as possible choices.
Now, I’m ready to head out to have my eyes checked.
