Best Women’s Reading Glasses for Oval and Round Face Shapes





Not all women’s reading glasses would look good on just any woman.  This is so because faces differ in shape and reading glasses suitable for a particular face shape may not look great on another face shape.  It is therefore necessary that you know your face shape before you attempt to buy a pair of women’s reading glasses online.

Why Buy Your Eyewear Online

You can’t try them on, but you can choose from a plethora of women’s eyewear that may not be available when you buy them from stores, unless you really want to gas up and check from store to store.  Thus, buying online gives you more options.  You can compare prices as well; avail of free shipping incentives, and check out new stocks before they hit stores.

Do not forget to check forums, blogs and product reviews as these interactive sites often give valuable information that you may find useful.  Also, do not hesitate to email or phone in your questions to several dealers in your area about warranties, shipping information, and other ordering information you would need, in case you decide to do business with them.  Do not hesitate to ask about those “fine prints” that may cause problems.

These are but some of the advantages one can enjoy when shopping online.  Now, read the tips.

Eyewear Tips for Round and Oval Face Shapes

To minimize your risk of buying a wrong pair of readers, it would help if you know these “tips” on how to pick a pair of reading glasses for oval and round face shapes:

1.     Most women’s eyeglasses suit an oval face because it is said to be the “face of reading glasses.”  The width of an oval face is proportionate to its length, but it looks longer than it is wider.  Square frames look good on oval faces. 

2.     Similarly, a round face has also proportionate width and length, but it has a curved appearance.  To minimize the “plump look”, choose narrow frames.  Round frames would maximize the chubby look of the face, so you should avoid wearing one.  It is a rule of thumb in choosing women’s eyeglasses to find a contrast between the shape of your face and the shape of your glasses.

Women’s Reading Glasses: Things You Might have Missed about Your Readers

 Michal Marcol/FreeDigitalPhotos.net Not all women’s reading glasses are the same. Before you buy a pair of readers, you should know your exact need in seeing things clearly. And women are like their reading glasses. No two women are alike. Even if you can readily buy a pair of reading glasses over the counter or through an online purchase, it always pays to spend time assessing your specific needs before your place your order.

Your Trendy Reading Glasses May be Bad for Your Eyes

As I clicked on close-up photos of trendy reading glasses on several websites, I saw some pieces of eye wear that matched my bags and shoes, and maybe worth my time to think about should I decide to buy additional pieces of fashion accessories.  Trendy reading glasses in stylish colors and designs give more definition to fashion that it's no longer a surprise why they are no longer listed as mere vision aids, but as fashion accessories. And since they are now used as fashion accessories, even kids in school uniforms are using them to spruce up their sense of style (and perhaps their IQ).  If you have kids who want to sport the whiz look (come on, we did it too!), but do not have the need to correct their vision yet, please discourage them.  Wearing a pair of reading glasses just for fashion purposes might do them more harm than good.  When in doubt, it is better to encourage your children to see their doctor for an eye exam before they place an order for ...
