If you’re someone who’s worn glasses for years, you’ll understand the struggle of finding a new pair. They’re your everyday essential accessory and it’s so important that they not only look good on you, but also protect your eyesight and help keep those lovely peepers of yours healthy.
Choosing the correct pair takes some serious foresight and a keen eye for detail and design if you’re to get this thing right. For one, the glasses frames need to suit your own unique style, showcase your personality, and sit comfortably on your face, as well, of course, holding lenses that facilitate you seeing well. Thanks to modern technology, you can now easily shop for prescription glasses online, matching them to your face effortlessly.
Offering a value collection alongside high-end designer frames, you can buy cheap glasses online and prescription glasses from SmartBuyGlasses, with frames starting from as little as £7.
The online store is easy to browse; the eyewear retailer offers something suitable for everyone, with glasses for women, men, kids and everything in between! If you’d like to make a statement in the office or find the perfect pair to match a new outfit, the company have a variety of fashionable frame styles to suit every occasion.
Often, it can be hard to envisage the eyeglasses on your face (particularly when buying online), but with these tips from SmartBuyGlasses, you’ll find buying glasses online has never been easier. Let’s take a closer look…
IDENTIFY YOUR FACE SHAPE
The first step to choosing the perfect glasses for you is to identify your face shape. This is crucial
as you need to understand what frame type best suits the beautifully unique lines, contours and angles of your face, in order to make the best selection.
With so many frame styles available, it can be pretty overwhelming to shop for glasses online, so this helps to narrow down the selection a little bit. For example, cat-eye frames can really suit an oval shaped face, while square shaped faces can look great in round or oval frames. If you have a round shaped face, classic rectangle frames could be right for you.
If you need more help, SmartBuyGlasses offers a useful frame shape guide and other style guides in their blog.
TRY GLASSES ON VIRTUALLY
Using the latest tech, SmartBuyGlasses virtual try-on feature allows you to virtually try on a pair of glasses all from the comfort of your own home. All you need to do is download the app and take a five-second selfie video from your desktop or mobile, by simply turning your head to the left and right (to give an accurate reading of your face shape) and you’re done!
The tool will virtually impose a pair of glasses frames onto your face so you can see if they suit you, there’s hundreds of frames to choose from. Take a quick selfie and try virtual glasses on…it’s kind of like using an online mirror, when you think about it.
