Eyeglasses were first used in Europe in Italy, and some portraits dating from the Middle Ages depict persons wearing eyeglasses. With the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, the demand for eyewear increased and by 1629 was large enough for a charter to be granted to a guild of spectacle makers in England. The first bifocal glasses were made for Benjamin Franklin at his suggestion about 1760. In early times the only eyeglasses having spherical lenses were manufactured to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness. Not until the end of the 19th century did the cylindrical lens for the correction of astigmatism come into common use.
Eyeglasses are lenses or prisms worn in front of the eyes to compensate for various defects of vision. The most common form of eyeglasses consists of a pair of plastic lenses in a metal or plastic frame fitted to the bridge of the nose. The frame is held in place by spring pressure on the nose or by temples, or arms that grip the head or hook around the ears. Eyewear with lenses made of a hard plastic is commonly used for reasons of increased safety and light weight.
Other forms of eyeglasses include those held in place by pressure on the nose, usually called pince-nez (French, pinch nose). Single lenses used to correct the sight of one eye, held in place by wedging in the orbit of the eye, are known as monocles. Glasses with a handle rather than temples, occasionally employed for reading, are called lorgnettes.
The lenses of eyeglasses are ground in the form of concave spherical lenses for nearsightedness (myopia), convex spherical lenses for farsightedness (hyperopia), cylindrical lenses for astigmatism, and prisms for defects of convergence. Frequently it is necessary to grind lenses in a combination of these forms to correct several anomalies at once. Bifocal lenses are used to give a different amount of correction for vision at a distance and for close work. The upper part of such lenses is ground for distant vision and the lower part for close vision, so that the user has merely to lower the eyes to read and raise them to look at distant objects. Trifocal glasses are bifocals that are ground with a center lens for intermediate distance.
Glasses are worn to protect the eyes as well as to correct visual defects. The colored glasses, or sunglasses, worn to protect the eyes against the rays of the sun are a familiar example. To protect their eyes from the actinic rays of welding flames, workers wear glasses of a deeper tint. Machinists and other factory workers wear glasses or goggles of great strength to shield their eyes from flying particles of metal, and aviators and racing drivers wear goggles to shield their eyes from the wind. Watertight goggles permit divers to see under water. Ski goggles help skiers with their sight as well.
Today, glasses do more than just correct your vision. They have also become fashion statements. For example, celebrities such as Elton John and Lisa Loeb are known for their ever-present eyewear. Ms. Jacky O. is also known for her signature large sunglasses that many stars now are still imitating, like Nicole Ritchie or Paris Hilton.
Eyewear Design by Frances is an eye clinic that caters to both function and fashion with their array of glasses, goggles, and sunglass collection. They carry designer frames and brand names such as BCBG, Caviar, Cazal, Juicy Couture, Police, Costa del Mar, Jaguar, Jhane Barnes, Lulu Guinness, LaCoste, bebe, Vera Wang, Menezzi, Daniel Swarovski, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs, Nicole Miller, Carrera, Goldfinch, TMX, Alex Nicole, Diva, and many more.

The small mobile phone can truly reflect the inner world of a group of people.

Eyes are the window of the heart. We always pay much attention to our eyes when we make up. However, some girls have to put on the heavy, dull spectacles if they are short-sighted or far-sighted. Over two thirds of the face is covered by the glasses, what’s more, the beauty released by the eyes is also reduced a lot. These girls may be very passive about their makeup. It seems that it’s useless to make up when they wear glasses. Some girls just draw their eye brows and lips simply. Loving beauty is the nature of women, and almost every woman wants to have delicate and bright face. Glasses beauties are upset: does wearing glasses has nothing to do with cosmetics; I’m doomed to be dull?
Don't let glasses lessen your beauty
Of course not, the professional image stylist will answer you. You can enjoy the beauty all the same. There are other occasions that some girls prefer glasses just because they pursue beauty and fashion. In recent years, wearing eyeglasses frames only has been very popular. Wearing the beautiful frames, your temperament will change a lot, and your images will be enriched. Besides, it will cover your black eyes at the same time. Here is one example, and I hope you will learn something useful from it.
If you are a young white collar of the company’s administration, and get tired of contact lens. In order to help you show the youth and energy of the young, but also the majesty of the administrator, the stylist choose the elegant violet eye shadow and dark purple glasses to enhance your beauty. First, choose the foundation with pearl effects to increase the stereoscopic feeling of the face. Second, sweep the violet eye shadow across the mass area around the eyes gently, and then draw the dark purple eye shadow near the bottom of the eyelash. The beautiful eye shadow may be blurred by the eyewear, so the eye lines are the focal points. Widen the eye lines moderately, and adjust the shape of eyes to make them look larger and brighter. Use the pink violet blush and light purple or orange lip gloss to lighten up the whole makeup.
When you do the eyebrows, please make sure that the upper curve of the frame should coincide with the shape of the eyebrow. If they are parallel, then you have done right! Never make your eyebrow look raised while the upper lines of the frame look sagging, for that will make you look very ill-looking. The brow pencil should have the similar color with that of the frame. The blush and the lip stick should also be in accordance with the color of the frame. Dark frame should match deeper lip stick, while the same. The blush should be a little bit lower to avoid being covered by the frame. Since the glasses will make the eyes look smaller, so choose the darker eye liner, the brighter eye shadow and denser phony eyelashes or dark mascara. The hair style should be simple, and the bangs should not be thick or too long.
Don’t let the dull frame glasses reduce your beauty; instead make them enhance your beauty index.

In addition to the right choice for contact lens, the maintenance for contact lens is also quite important. It not only can prolong the time of use, also can make contact lens healthier and safer. There are some notes for it.
Make Your Contact Lens Healthier and Safer
First, maintenance for contact lens can be in accordance with the instruction of maintenance lotion. Generally, the focus of each bottle of maintenance lotion is not the same, and these lotions do not have the so-called quality difference. Actually, as long as followed the instruction of the use, all lotions can achieve the same cleaning effect. For example, contact lens should soak in hydrogen peroxide solution at least for 6 hours, while in other multi-functional maintenance lotion for 4 hours after scrubbing. Then, pay attention to the manufacture date and the storage life of maintenance lotion. Do not use expired lotion! Moreover, it is best not to continue to use the lotion which has opened for three month.
Second, periodically replace contact lenses. Even if the long-wear contact lens, such as rigid contact lens also need renew each one or two years. Besides, care about the use of disposable contact lens. Do not use daily disposable type as bi-weekly disposable type, or use bi-weekly type as monthly type, in order to extend the period of use. This behavior is quite harmful to the cornea. Moreover, do not soak the lens in the lotion for a long time. The lotion can gradually lose its sterilization strength, and then become a hotbed for breeding bacteria. Hence, those who not frequently wear contact lens can replace the soaking liquid every two days; while before wearing, be sure to sterilize and cleanse again.
Third, lens cannot be stored in physiological salt water, because the physiological salt water do not has the function of sterilization. Hence, if to put lens in such water, it is easy to promote the growth of bacteria, and then infect wear’s eyes.
Four, the lens box need to clean up at least once a week, and replace every three months, avoiding becoming a hotbed for breeding bacteria. Generally, using cotton ball dipped cleaning liquid to clean the inside of the box, then putting the box under the hot water with 79 ℃ or more to disinfect, lastly dry it. Do not put lens box in the bathroom, for it easily gets mildewed in the moist room.
Five, do not wear contact lens when swimming because chlorine, bacteria, impurities, and other thighs will adhere to the contact lens, which can injure cornea or cause eye infection, even cause corneal ulcer. Hence, remember this point for your eye health.
Contact lenses are one kind of delicate and expensive product for eye health, so they are worthy of careful maintenance.
