Here are some key areas to check out to make sure the glasses frames you choose will be comfortable and fit well.

Firstly, you should make sure that the temples don't dig into the side of your head, make sure the frames are wide enough for your face. The edge of the frames should protrude slightly beyond your face so that the temples don't touch your head as they extend back to your ears.

Next, make sure the temples are long enough. Opticians can order many styles in a variety of temple lengths. The curve at the end of the temple should extend over the ear without pressing down upon it. The optician can reshape and adjust the curve at the end of the temple when your pick your eyeglasses up, but can't make the temples shorter or longer, so make sure you select the best length.

Also check the nosepiece for comfort and fit. Many glasses have adjustable nose pads for fine-tuning, with soft, silicon nose pads. For frames without adjustable nose pads, make sure the fit is secure without pinching your bridge.

When you try on the frames, move your head up and down, bend over and pick up something from the floor and see how well your glasses stay in place. With the properly adjusted nose pads and temples, your glasses should stay in place without pressing on your face.

The second reason that a secondary pair of eye glasses may be needed is for computer use. Although a progressive pair of eyeglass lenses provides the intermediate, the area may not be wide enough for long term computer use. Some people may prefer to have a pair of bifocals made with just the intermediate and the near prescription. Some people may want a single vision pair of eyeglasses made for just the intermediate or computer distance. Either way, computer use becomes easier.

The third reason an additional pair of eyeglasses may be needed is in the case of a person who only needs reading glasses. Most of the time the reading glasses are never in the place you need them. So more than one pair of reading glasses may be necessary for various parts of the house, office, and/or vehicle to make sure at least one pair is available when needed.

You are treading dangerous waters if you have a fairly powerful prescription and only one pair of eyeglasses. If you are driving or operation equipment, another life may in danger, including your own. So choose another pair of glasses in Best Glasses from now on!
