Fashion Glasses: An Intimate Eyewear Accessory

Prescription glasses remain the most commonly used variant, but there are lots of other types as well. You can explore blue light glasses that serve as a mode of digital protection or reading glasses that are used for perfect vision for things close up, from sunglasses that offer the much-needed UV protection to sports glasses that are used  to perfect vision for as safety gear and also for clarity of vision while during playing sports. Glasses have certainly come a long way!

Whether you are prescribed glasses or not, there are still enough reasons to wear glasses. Our tagline #AFrameForEveryGame signifies the core philosophy. Just like you have multiple pairs of shoes for different occasions, you should also own multiple pairs of glasses suited for different moods and occasions. Whether you are looking for glasses for women or men's glasses, our collection consists of trendy glasses styles with a plethora of frames to choose from. For the best fashion eyewear in the UK, go ahead and browse through our extensive collection of stylish frames.

What are Prescription Glasses’ Frames Made of?

We use superior quality material for making your glasses. These materials have desirable characteristics like high strength, and high impact-resistance, among others, which impart enhanced durability to your glasses. Here are the different materials in which Specscart's fashion glasses are available.

• Acetate - Instead of going with traditional plastic materials, we use high-grade acetate to make your glasses. Acetate is a plant-based cellulose, which is not only more eco-friendly but also has better gloss and is lighter than most other forms of plastic. If you are looking for highly fashionable glasses with top-notch quality, glasses made of acetate are a brilliant pick.

• Stainless Steel - For our metal frame glasses, we use stainless steel as one of the materials. A higher level of strength naturally flows in with metal frame glasses. However, with stainless steel, you not only get more robustness but also some other benefits owing to its lightweight, non-corrosive, and hypoallergenic nature.

• Titanium - The other material that we use to make your metal frame glasses is titanium. When compared to stainless steel, titanium has better quality and superior strength. Titanium is ultra-light and has amazing flexibility, making it super comfortable on your face. Apart from this, titanium is also non-corrosive and hypoallergenic. Their glossy and sleek appeal makes them a perfect material for fashion eyewear.

• Wood - As a material for making glasses, wood has grown in popularity over the last few years. Wood is a sustainable material, and the manufacturing of wooden glasses is also relatively sustainable. Wood provides an offbeat style to glasses, and you can find a wide variety of wooden glasses in our collection of stylish glasses.

• TR90 - TR90 is a type of thermoplastic material that is perfect for making high-quality glasses. Our sports glasses are made up of TR90. Being superbly flexible and lightweight, frames made out of TR90 adjust according to your facial shapes, imparting a comfortable fit. You will be making various dynamic movements while playing sports, and sports glasses made out of TR90 frames will rest comfortably on your face while you do that. TR90 frames also have a high impact resistance, making them ideal to withstand impacts during a performance.

Which Glasses' Shapes Suit My Face?

Whether you are looking to buy women's glasses or glasses for men, you might need clarity on which shape of glasses will suit you the best. Here are a few pointers that can help!

• If you have round or oval face shapes, angular frames such as square, rectangular, and even geometric are some of the options for stylish glasses. These styles will elevate round and oval facial features.

• For those with square or rectangular face shapes, some of the most outstanding fashion glasses options are round and oval frames. Some of the other flattering styles to accentuate angular facial features include cat-eye and pilot glasses.

• When it comes to heart face shape, your options are even more. From round and oval frames to square and rectangular frames, to even offbeat geometric frames, all these styles suit brilliantly for heart face shapes.

What are The Types of Lenses Available at Specscart?

At Specscart, you have a wide range of lens types to choose from, which are of premium quality. While frames impart style and strength to glasses, it is the different types of lenses that are responsible for making glasses a multifunctional accessory. Here are the lens options that you have at Specscart! We provide free protective coatings with all lenses. These necessary coatings include anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch, and impact-resistant coatings. Talking about the thickness of the lenses, you have four different lens indexes: basic, thin, ultra-thin, and super ultra-thin. You can choose the right one depending on your prescription power.

• Single Vision Lenses - Single vision lenses are used for prescription glasses. They are referred to as single vision lenses because they cater to either nearsightedness or farsightedness.

• Non-prescription Lenses - If you do not need prescription glasses, and want to style glasses as a fashion accessory or for digital protection, non-prescription lenses are what you need to opt for. As the name suggests, these lenses don't carry any prescriptive power.

• Varifocal Lenses - Varifocal lenses provide eyesight correction for both nearsightedness and farsightedness with a single pair, i.e, both reading and distance vision. At Specscart, we offer the highest quality tailor-fit platinum varifocal lenses, with the widest vision field and minimum distortion.

• Blue Light Lenses - In this digital world, blue light lenses are essential as they protect our eyes from the harmful effects of excessive exposure to digital blue light. These lenses come with a protective coating that filters blue light emitted from digital devices.

• Sunglasses Tints - These lenses provide protection from the harmful UV rays of the sun. We offer UV400 protective coating with all sunglasses tints, which helps in providing 100% UV protection. Further, you can choose from various colours depending upon your style needs.

• Transitions Lenses - These are light-adaptive lenses that have a coating of photochromic dye applied over their surface. While indoors, they maintain a fully clear appearance, and when one steps outdoors in the sun, the UV protection function of these lenses is activated and they also put on a tinted appearance like that of sunglasses . A single pair of Transitions lenses serves the function of both glasses and sunglasses.
