Eye
glasses, spectacles, or simply glasses are frames which
hold lenses that are worn in front of the human eyes for
vision correction or eye protection. Some special glasses
are used for watching three dimensional images or
experiencing virtual reality. Modern eye glasses are
typically supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and by
temples which are placed over the ears. Historical glasses
include the pince nez, monocle and the lorgnette.
Eye glasses were originally made from glass, but many are
now made from plastic due to the danger of breakage and the
heavier weight of glass lenses. The corrective lenses held
in the eye glass frames, modify the focal length of the
eye's pupil to reduce the effects of shortsightedness
(myopia), longsightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism.
Lenses produced to conform to the prescription of an eye
specialist are called prescription lenses.
Unlike a new pair of socks, eye
glasses are obviously and instantly noticeable: they are
out there, on your face, in front of everyone, everyday. For
many people, the most important aspect of choosing eye glass
frames is how they look on their face. According to the
Vision Council of America (VCA), there are three keys to
choosing the correct eye glass frame for your individual
look. First, the frame should contrast with you facial
shape. Secondly, the frame size should be in scale with your
face size. And finally, eyewear should repeat your best
personal feature (such as blue frames to match blue eyes.)
