A few decades ago, the “bespectacled man” was an offensive nickname, and the glasses themselves were an unpleasant attribute. Modern fashion has made glasses a real trend. Now they are worn even by those who have no vision problems. Manufacturers produce entire collections of fashion glasses, the only function of which is to decorate the face and make the image more stylish. Glasses make people more solid, respectable and more effective, regardless of age. The lineup is quite wide, you can choose glasses for almost every taste.
What it is?
Glasses for image or "zero" are equipped with lenses without diopters. Therefore, zero points do not perform corrective functions in terms of vision. Lenses can be glass or plastic, but in any case they are ordinary, do not reduce or increase the surrounding world. The biggest plus of this kind of glasses is face correction if necessary. Moreover, it is possible to visually correct both the face as a whole, and its individual parts. Points correct well:
- face oval;
- circles under the eyes;
- swelling
- eyes do more and "set" wider close set.
In addition, glasses protect makeup from wind, rain and snow. The most sought after models equipped with photochromic type lenses that can change color. On the street, their shade is darker and protects from the sun, in the room they become transparent. They are also called chameleons for their ability to change color.
Another useful variation is protective glasses. Such an anti-glare coating prevents the eyes from getting very tired at the computer and other screens.
Vision Impact
Ophthalmologists have no definite and definitive answer to this question yet. If you follow the logic, clean glass can neither harm nor help the organs of vision. Another thing is that the quality of materials can be different, and the safety of our eyes depends on this in many respects. Glass or plastic should be of high quality, especially if you are in them all day. Cheap glasses do not reflect light well, and therefore, their eyes get tired more and faster.
Ophthalmologists are advised to opt for models with anti-glare effect.
In addition, you need to monitor the state of coverage - under no circumstances should there be cracks on the lenses. They can impair vision. But if you properly store the glasses and look after them, this will not happen with high-quality lenses. Doctors consider the most safe models for protection from screens, which reduce eye strain. Other options for continuous use are not recommended.
Do not forget that constantly wearing is a kind of addiction, it becomes difficult for a person to perceive his image without this attribute. And the main minus is the deterioration of lateral vision.
Modern models
There are quite a lot of current models in the lines of different manufacturers - from luxury to the mass market. The most common models of fashionable glasses without diopters:

lennon - round glasses require a special background, so they are worn with hats, vintage accessories;

Features of selection
Men's and women's glasses must be selected, focusing on a number of criteria:
- color;
- the form;
- the size;
- style;
- type of person.
Plastic models are well suited for daily wear, metal ones - for a business look. The color scheme is chosen based on personal preferences, black is the most traditional and universal. The most difficult thing is to choose a frame according to the shape of the face. First of all, pay attention to the oval and anatomical features. The frame should not repeat the contours of the face.
- A round face should not try on rounded models, it is worth paying attention to angular ones. The color is preferably dark, so the face will appear already visually.
- It is best to pay attention to a person with a rectangle type on wide oval frames. Avoid angularities.
- The triangle looks optimally with rectangular frames, and oval ones fit the hearts-hearts.
- The easiest way to holders of the oval type - they can try on almost any kind of glasses. Optimal models where the line of eyebrows and frames are on the same level.
Glasses that do not hide eyebrows and do not touch the cheeks look best. Be sure to smile at the fitting, glasses should not jump on the face. In addition to the frame, it is worth paying attention to the glass when choosing glasses. Now glasses-free glasses are spreading in the east, but so far this innovation has not gained wide popularity. Therefore, purchase models in optics with a good reputation, where the lenses will be of high quality. UV lenses are preferred.
Glass lenses are better and more expensive than plastic, they are more appropriate in a business style and respectable manner.
