My glasses have been serving me for more than 2 years. As I am not very used to cherish things, the lens has been colored fiercely and the legs have become more and more loosely. And now I almost cannot bow while wearing glasses because it will fall from the face. Every time wear it, I must pay special attention not to bow. Although it can show my elegance when raising neck, I felt so tired to be so. So that I decided to match myself a new pair of glasses with my low income and seek glasses shop.
The shop which I haven’t paid attention to before was quite clean and tidy and the wide store left me an impression of containing everything. However the more graceful it is, the less possibility I could afford to consume in such a place. Anyway I went into the store bravely with sort of upset I scanned each frame showcase carefully and the prices made me feel that I’m indeed lack of money. So I came out of the store with guilt to the sellers.
However, as many of my friends are so crazy for shopping online that I decide to have a try to buy myself a pair of glasses on the internet. There are many advantages to shop on line, such as lower prices and much more convenience to just have a click and then everything is ok.
At first, I communicated with the seller online and his service was quite good and complete. He asked me to go to real glasses shops or hospitals to examine my eyes and then turn to the internet to buy glasses frames and lens. Considering that I have to work with computer for a long time and the price is really low, the seller recommended me the anti-radioactivity lens, which cost me only $19.8. As to the glasses frames, the seller gave me two choices and said that I could make up my mind after receiving and trying the two kinds of frames. I bought the Richard titanium frame eventually, totally $32.8. I’m very satisfied with the glasses and its good service.
This very first time of shopping online has left me not only a pair of perfect glasses, but also some experiences. And I concluded several points to which online buyers should pay attention.
First: professionalism. Although buyers cannot get their eyes examined directly, whether the seller is professional or not is quite critic because they can give useful suggestions to buyers if the seller is professional.
Second: honesty. Consumers should choose an honest online seller, which is of vital importance to purchase a pair of good glasses.
Maybe I am lucky or I’ve made enough preparations before purchasing, it is a successful experience of shopping online generally.

Which Eyeglass FramesWould Look Best on You?
By Erinn Morgan http://www.glassesshop.com
For many of us, the most important aspect of choosing eyeglass frames is how they look on our face. You could try on every pair of eyeglasses in the store to find out how each one looks, but narrowing down your choices in advance can save you a lot of time and aggravation. To do so, you simply need to determine your face shape and coloring, and understand which eyeglass frame styles and colors would look best on you.
Matching Eyeglass Frames to Face Shapes
You should consider three main points when choosing an eyeglass frame for your face shape, according to Vision Council of America (VCA):
Eyewear should repeat your personal best feature (such as a blue frame to match blue eyes).
The frame shape should contrast with the face shape.
The frame size should be in scale with the face size.
Also, while most faces are a combination of shapes and angles, there are seven basic face shapes: round, oval, oblong, base-down triangle, base-up triangle, diamond and square. Here is a further description of these face shapes and which types of frames work for each (information comes from VCA). A good optician can help you use these guidelines to choose your new eyeglasses.
Round
A round face has curvilinear lines with the width and length in the same proportions and no angles. To make the face appear thinner and longer, try angular narrow eyeglass frames to lengthen the face, a clear bridge that widens the eyes and frames that are wider than they are deep, such as a rectangular shape.
Oval
The oval face is considered to be the ideal shape because of its balanced proportions. To keep the oval’s natural balance, look for eyeglass frames that are as wide as (or wider than) the broadest part of the face, or walnut-shaped frames that are not too deep or too narrow.
Oblong
The oblong face is longer than it is wide and has a long straight cheek line and sometimes a longish nose. To make the face appear shorter and more balanced, try frames that have a top-to-bottom depth, decorative or contrasting temples that add width to the face or a low bridge to shorten the nose.
Base-Down Triangle
The triangular face has a narrow forehead that widens at the cheek and chin areas. To add width and emphasize the narrow upper third of the face, try frames that are heavily accented with color and detailing on the top half or cat-eye shapes.
Base-Up Triangle
This face has a very wide top third and small bottom third. To minimize the width of the top of the face, try frames that are wider at the bottom, very light colors and materials, and rimless frame styles (which have a light, airy effect because the lenses are simply held in place to the temples by a few screws).
Diamond
Diamond-shaped faces are narrow at the eye line and jawline, and cheekbones are often high and dramatic. This is the rarest face shape. To highlight the eyes and bring out the cheekbones, try frames that have detailing or distinctive brow lines, or try rimless frames or oval and cat-eye shapes.
Square
A square face has a strong jaw line and a broad forehead, plus the width and length are in the same proportions. To make the square face look longer and soften the angles, try narrow frame styles, frames that have more width than depth and narrow ovals.
Color Analysis
VCA’s three keys to color analysis are that …
All people have either a cool (blue-based) or warm (yellow-based) coloring.
Everyone looks best in his or her own color base.
Eyewear color should complement personal coloring.
The main factors to determine the best color palette are the colors of the skin, eyes and hair.
Are you warm or cool? Knowing the answer will help you easily select frame colors. These eyeglasses are by Moschino.
SkinSkin tone is the prime element in determining coloring. All complexions fall into one of two color bases — blue (cool) or yellow (warm). A cool complexion has blue or pink undertones, and a warm complexion has a “peaches and cream” or yellow cast. Olive skin is considered cool because it is a mixture of blue and yellow. (In the United States, cool, blue-based complexions are more common than the yellow-based warm complexions. About 60 percent of the population are “cools.”)
EyesEye colors are usually a secondary element in determining coloring because of the wide range of eye colors. For example, blue eyes can range from a cool almost-violet to a pale blue-gray, which is warm. Brown eyes can vary from a light cider shade (warm) through a medium-brown to a cool almost-black.
HairHair colors are also considered warm or cool. Strawberry blond, platinum, blue-black, white, salt-and-pepper and “dishwater” brown are cool. Warm hair colors include golden blond, flat black, brown-gold, “carrot” and “dirty” gray.
Eyeglass Frame Colors
Once you have determined if you are “warm” or “cool,” then you can find the eyeglass frame colors that will suit you the best. Some examples of frame colors best for warm coloring are: camel, khaki, gold, copper, peach, orange, coral, off-white, fire-engine red, warm blue and blond tortoise. For cool coloring, the best eyeglass frame hues are black, rose-brown, blue-gray, plum, magenta, pink, jade, blue and demi-amber (darker) tortoise.
