By the age of 65, 1 in 3
people have some sort of visual impairment.
Today just about everyone has some type of eyeglasses; from over the
counter reading glasses to prescription sunglasses. Even with all of the wonders of modern
technology no glasses are totally scratch resistance so it is important to
learn how to take care of them properly.
I have been wearing glasses for years so I know all about that, but of
course it doesn’t mean that I don’t just toss them on the bedside stand and sometimes
can’t even find them the next morning. If you aren’t wedded to your glasses
24/7 it is even more important to know where they are when you need them.
Granted, it looks pretty cool
when you see other folks with their glasses perched atop their heads or hooked
into a button hole or v-shaped neckline but it isn’t totally practical. Teri
Agins (The Wall Street Journal, Thursday, September 18, 2008) addresses stylish
ways to carry around your eyeglasses when you aren’t wearing them.
You probably remember your
favorite teacher keeping track of her glasses by attaching them to a thin chain
around her neck, but because the whole concept screamed “old” you pretty much
ignored that idea. Well guess what? The whole idea has been reworked to the point
that eyeglass chains range from being fine pieces or jewelry to quirky designs
that match every outfit that you own.
You can now find really cool looking chains anywhere from $20 to $2,000.
While researching eyeglass chains I ran across
ads for colorful coasters or trays to keep your glasses on when you take them
so that you can find them easily when the need arises. Don’t forget eyeglass cases either; you no
longer have to settle for the navy blue box that your glasses came. Now days you can find decorative cases to
cater to every fashion need. Just
because you have to wear glasses doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun by
treating accessories as a fashion statement.
