You look your best when you’re wearing the colors that work with your hair and eye color as well as your skin tone. There aren’t many of us who can pull off wearing banana yellow, but when you see it happen, it’s something you won’t soon forget. Likewise, there are certain styles that match (rather than conflict with) your personality. You know what I’m talking about here… While I can’t give you much advice when it comes to whether that bright blue eyeshadow is flattering or not (yes I can: AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.) or whether you should wear the leopard print on your big date (I’ll leave that one up to you), I can give you some solid tips on picking out the best eyeglass frames for your face shape. Let’s keep you looking your best. Let’s get started.

The age-old debate of whether glasses or contact lenses are better has been around since contact lenses were first invented in either 1887 or 1888 (but that is another debate for another article). We have some real die-hard fans out there for each, but all I can tell you is that you have to go with what works for you. It’s really a personal preference.

If you are experiencing vision that is blurry up-close, far away, and at every distance in between, you may be experiencing the effects of astigmatism. Unlike nearsightedness and farsightedness, astigmatism is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea (on the external eye surface) or lens (inside the eye). This irregularity prevents all incoming light and images from properly focusing on the retina (within the back inside surface of the eye). If you are experiencing blurry vision at all distances, along with eye pain and/or headaches, it is time to take action and schedule an eye exam at your nearest Wise Eyes Optical center.

It goes without saying that wearing eyeglasses instantly makes you appear more intelligent, but beyond that, what exactly do your eyeglasses say about you? Every aspect of our appearance sends out a message to those around us. Considering that our glasses sit directly on our face, there is perhaps no article of clothing or accessory that serves as a better indicator of our personalities. From size and shape to color and material, your eyewear is sending a clear message. Be sure you’re communicating what you intend to say about yourself!

Do you ever feel like you are looking right back at your own eyes while wearing your glasses? Are flashes of light distracting you while driving, working, or studying? This glare is not only annoying – it can be downright dangerous because it prevents you from seeing what is actually in front of you.

Wise Eyes Optical offers anti-glare/anti-reflective coatings, as well as several other premium coatings for your lenses to provide optimal vision no matter where the day (or night) takes you.

Diabetic Vision Care – How to Have Healthy Eyes For Life
As an individual with diabetes, you know how important your diet, exercise, and prescribed medications are to maintaining optimal health. Taking great care of yourself is critical to avoiding diabetes-related eye problems and vision loss, as well. Unfortunately, far too many cases of diabetic retinopathy progress to the point of irreversible vision loss before the condition is detected. In most cases, vision remains perfect even after bleeding in the retina has begun. Because individuals of all ages with diabetes face a significantly increased risk of eye disease, vision loss, and blindness, all those with diabetes should receive a thorough diabetic eye exam at least once per year.
