Believe it or not, needing to wear glasses can be a cool addition to your personal style.

You never expect it.

That fated day when you suddenly realize you can’t make out the name of that new clothing store just ahead. Or maybe it was when you tried to read the washing instructions on an awesome top and you found yourself squinting.

Fear not my near and farsighted friends —– Look at the bright side of things, you have just added an accessory to your wardrobe!

There are plenty of fashionable frames to choose from. Some of the more daring frames that have animal print on them can be fun. (<eyecessorize> check these out)

Maybe you’d like some stunning black plastic frames to complement your look. (<eyeglasses> these too)

That’s just the color choice. You also get to choose from shapes like round, square, cat eye or funky boxy.

(<eyeart> and these)

Having fun yet?

I have even seen where people pierce the outside of the nose so that the lenses are screwed into the piercing on either side of the nose. That way all there is are the lenses. (<wow> check this out) I’m not that brave, but some of you may like the idea.

There is some pretty cool information on how many people wear glasses too.

According to the Vision Council of America 64% of adult population need vision correction. 46.9% are men and 53.1% are women. 64% of those sight challenged Americans chose to correct their vision with glasses. 19% wear contacts some of the time. That means that even if you do chose to wear contacts, you will most likely not wear them all of the time.

Don’t let that make you blue —–

Turn that frown upside down and make it a bonus to your style!

Here’s one more before you go —-

Happy Shopping!
