Weber
Vision Care has a spectacular spectacle selection
Whether
you're looking for a plain but durable pair of specs or trying to make a
fashion statement by wearing the latest eyewear styles from Europe, we
have what you're looking for! Plus, every new frame we sell is
covered by our exclusive
Weber Vision Care two-year frame warranty. But finding the
proper pair of spectacles is more than just looking at frames: You
simply have to try them on (that's why we don't sell frames online).
Our opticians will provide you with top-notch, personal service.
Among other things, we'll help you:
Pick Frames That
Complement Your Facial Features: Your favorite movie star's or best
friend's frames may be perfectly suited to them-- but terrible on you.
Don't worry, it's not a reflection on your looks! We'll help you
find frames that take advantage of your facial features.
In general:
• your frame shape should contrast with your face shape;
•
your frame size should be in proportion to your face size; and
• your eyes
should appear centered in the frame's lenses.
Pick Frames
That Accommodate Your Prescription: Your prescription may
determine the appropriate size or shape of frame for you. For example,
if you are nearsighted and select large frames that require larger lens
sizes, you may end up with unflattering lens distortions. On the
other hand, if your frames are too small, you may lose access to side,
or peripheral, vision and you may not be able to accommodate your
bifocal or progressive lens prescription.
Pick
Frames That Complement Your Hair, Eye, & Skin Color: Consider the
color of your hair, eyes, and skin before you select frames for your
eyeglasses. In general, yellowish skin tone is considered "warm," while
bluish skin tone is considered "cool." Softer, understated colors may be
appropriate for warm skin tones, while darker, bolder colors may work
for "cool" skin tones. You can also consider the more neutral, rimless
glasses in lieu of obvious frames.
Pick Frames That
Complement Your Lifestyle: Different frames fulfill different
lifestyle needs (think about your shoes):
• Some frames make a
style statement (think Manolo Blahnik stiletto heel silver metal floral
ankle wrap with Swarovski® crystals). Want those? We've got
them from a variety of innovative and high quality design houses with an
eye toward style, whether your taste leans more towards the classics or
you're looking for something avant garde.
• Other frames
are meant for comfort (think UGG
® or your
favorite bedroom slippers). Sound good? We've got a variety
of lightweight frames that weigh but a few grams.
• And
other frames are meant to last (think Red Wing
®
steel toed boots). That's what you'd like? Okay, we have
numerous styles in titanium, such as the top-of-the-line Lindberg Air
Titanium
® frames and memory metal (Flexon
®
and Turaflex
®) frames that are virtually
indestructible!
The Vision Council of America has a
great website full of useful information on how to "eyecessorize" when
you're looking for new spectacles and sunwear.

Frames
are only half the picture: You should give as much thought to
your lenses as to your frames. Okay, you may have been stuck
with Coke bottle glasses in school. But today there's usually a
variety of alternatives to those heavy old lenses you used to wear!
For that reason, our opticians will provide you with the proper lens
for your needs. Among other things, we'll help you:
Pick The Proper Lens Type: Lens technology is changing at
an ever-increasing pace. New options in high index ( thin,
lightweight lenses) and in progressive multi-focal lenses arrive in our
stock almost every week. So, even if you come in for an annual eye
exam, we may have an entirely new-- and definitely improved-- lens
selection. Generally, lenses come in the following designs:
• Single Vision: designed for either only distance or only near
use
• Progressive: designed for simultaneous distance, intermediate,
and near use by blending lens power across the lens, many find these
lenses more aesthetically pleasing than traditional lined bifocals.
• Bifocal/trifocal: designed for multiple focal points; however, usually
have visible lines between segments
• Computer/Occupational:
near variable focus lens ideal for computer (intermediate) distance &
reading (near) distance Provides wide viewing area in upper
& lower portions
Match Your Lenses To Your Lifestyle: Lenses are made
from different materials, including glass, plastic, and polycarbonate
that suit different functional requirements. Photochromic (Transitions)
lenses automatically lighten or darken, depending on the surrounding
light conditions. The new
Younger Drivewear lenses, for example, are photochromic lenses
designed specifically for driving! Polarized lenses reduce glare. We'll help
you sort through the various options to pick the proper lenses.
Understand Lens Coatings: Most lenses should have
coatings that provide scratch resistance and UV (ultraviolet ray)
protection. We also usually recommend anti-reflective coating to
reducing glare. This helps improve your vision and comfort whether
you're contending with your computer, your office's fluorescent
lighting, or an oncoming driver's headlights while driving at night.
Best of all, anti-reflective coating also makes it seem as if you're not
even wearing lenses in your frames!
Think About Lens Tints:
We can also show you how adding a tint
to your lenses can provide add to your spectacles, whether you're
looking for a touch of understated elegance or a bold fashion statement!
Consider Sunglasses: Sure they're cool. All the
Hollywood types and wanna-be types wear them. But did you know
that a good pair of sunglasses is good for you? Sunglasses protect
your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays, reduce glare, protect your eyes
from wind and debris (especially important if you wear contact lenses),
and can help reduce headaches and improve vision?
