Glasses are necessary for thousands of us. But it can be hard getting your prescription glasses right. Get the style right and you can look effortlessly trendy.

Your glasses can express a range of styles – helping you look sophisticated and chic, intellectual and witty or sexy and cheeky. And with the amazing designer frames available, there’s no excuse to hate your glasses.
Prescription Glasses can be Trendy
A survey by Sheila’s Wheels in 2008 revealed that 3.8 million female motorists in the UK admitted to driving without their prescription glasses, swapping them for non prescription sunglasses because they felt they looked trendier. The report said these women were putting their lives and the lives of other road users at risk. But it’s possible to invest in trendy prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses with designer frames – there’s really no excuse! If you feel so embarrassed to wear your glasses that you’d rather risk life and limb, it’s time you invested in a pair that make you feel glad to wear glasses. The survey found that a remarkable 42% of women drivers with vision problems relied on their passengers to read road signs for them.
A spokesperson from Sheila’s Wheels advised that women who felt unhappy wearing glasses at the wheel should invest in designer prescription glasses or sunglasses.
What’s the Solution?
The other solution is laser eye surgery. But although the results can be fantastic, it is not a trivial or risk-free procedure. Laser surgery also can’t help with age-related sight loss. Mistakes can happen that result in permanent sight problems in a fraction of cases and a study in America revealed that out of 435 people who had laser surgery, 36% of them needed glasses once more.
By changing how you feel about your prescription glasses however, you can soon realise that glasses can be cool, stylish and trendy. It’s just a matter of finding the frames to suit you.
