“I’ve had young patients come in who have been diagnosed with learning impairments, when the real challenge was just that they had poor eyesight or poor visual skills, which is easy to correct,” said Dr. William Reynolds, one of the optometrists at Envision. “If your student struggled through the first half of this school year, now is the time to bring them for a complete eye exam. The problem may not be learning-related; it may be solved simply by getting corrective vision wear.”


Most optometrists recommend parents bring their children for a yearly exam from age one onward in order to monitor their eye health. Because of the strong link between healthy vision and academic success, teachers also encourage parents to establish a regular schedule of eye exams for their children.

• Face shape
• Eye color
• Hair color
• Skin tone
• Personal style and personality
• Type of usage

If you select prescription eye glasses without stopping to consider these items, you may find that you are not happy with your look. It is important to choose eye wear that blends well with your features and your style. When you finally find that perfect pair, you will know it, and people will often comment and ask you where you found those great glasses.

What does face shape have to do with it?
 

As you look into a mirror, pull you hair away from your face and outline your face’s shape in the mirror with the lipstick. Determine if the shape is oval, round, heart-shaped or square. While it may not be exact, you should be able to identify the shape that best matches your face. Then, you can follow the guidelines below, depending on your face shape.

• Oval—this shape is the easiest to work with. Just about any frame is going to look great on you. Try on different styles and colors to help you decide what fits your look the best.
• Round—in order to slim a round face, focus on prescription eye glasses that have an angular shape. Square and rectangle frames help to create definition in your face, while a narrower frame with lengthen your face.
• Heart—also known as a triangle, this shape is characterized by a broad forehead and a narrower mouth and chin. Look for a frame that has a thin rim, avoiding heavy bottom rims to help balance out face and jaw line. Square and angled styles are ideal.

• Square—this face shape is defined by a wide forehead and a strong, squared jaw line. Round and oval frames are good, as well as cat-eye frames.

In addition to face shape, consider the length of your eyelashes, because it can be uncomfortable to have prescription eye glasses that sit too close to your face, causing the eye lashes to brush the lenses. By trying on a variety of styles, you can determine which one is most comfortable while helping you to look your very best.

It’s always a great idea to take a friend or relative with you when choosing prescription eye glasses. Having another set of eyes to see you in the different styles can help you to get another perspective and increase your confidence in selecting the frames to suit you. If you can’t decide between a couple of different frames, why not get two? It can be fun to have different eye glasses to rotate and match up with your styles and your mood.

Most importantly, have fun. A new pair of prescription eye glasses can make you feel like you’ve just been to the salon. When you have the perfect frames, you will likely find yourself admiring your new look in the mirror, and others will take notice, too.

Have you considered sports glasses for kids who are physically active? If you have kids involved in sports at school or on the Little League team and they wear glasses, you know what problems can be involved. Regular glasses can be broken easily when kids get busy playing rough and tumble sports and games. Broken glasses can be serious injury to the eyes – and they always mean lots of money to replace. With sports glasses for kids, you can get double benefits- eye protection and money in your wallet.

Sports glasses for kids are constructed of lightweight material and they are more durable than regular glasses. But that doesn’t mean they can’t look great as well. Children’s eyewear can be as fashionable as it can be safe. Even sports glasses are available in lots of cool colors and styles so kids are able to fit right in with the latest styles and fashions.

When kids are involved in football, wrestling, gymnastics and basketball, they can take a few hard knocks from each other and from the ball or other equipment they use. Those hard knocks can be rough on glasses- bending, twisting, and even breaking them in the blink of an eye. The worst thing is children can be injured even further when they need to function without their glasses while they wait for repairs or replacements. They can also have a difficult time doing their schoolwork or even just getting through the day without their glasses. Sports glasses for kids are specially designed to withstand the extra jostling and roughhousing involved in sports. They are more flexible and more hard-wearing than regular glasses. They’re lightweight too, so they won’t interfere with a child’s ability or enjoyment when they play their favorite sporting activity.

Sports glasses for kids used to resemble some type of safety glasses- they were hard plastic and usually bulky and unattractive. Often it was difficult to convince a child to wear them. That is just not the case anymore. Sports glasses for kids now come in many different stylish fashion colors and styles, so the hassle of convincing a child to wear them is gone. In fact, the only problem now will be narrowing the choices and making the final decision.
 
Children’s glasses are now being made by designers just like adult glasses have been for years. Sports glasses for kids are no exception. You can find designer names like Ocean Pacific, Espirit and Vera Bradley in children’s glasses, as well as fun styles sure to capture a child’s imagination from Fisher Price, Flexon XGames and Jelly Bean. With the variety of choices in color and style, finding sports glasses for kids that they will actually want to wear is easy and fun.

If you wear glasses, having beautiful designer eyewear frames just right for the shape of your face can enhance your total look. Instead of being the afterthought you have to add to your wardrobe, designer eyeglasses can be the showpiece of your accessories.

Designer eyeglasses have that extra little something you can’t always find in ordinary eyeglasses. It may be the color, the shape or the embellishments; it’s always the design, the quality and the panache. In addition to finding glasses that simply look fabulous, however, it is also necessary to find glasses that look fabulous on your face.

Start by figuring out the shape of your face. Often, you can do this by simply pulling back your hair and noticing the shape of your face in the mirror. If you aren’t sure, use an eyebrow pencil or lipstick to outline your face in the mirror. It is oval, round, square or heart-shaped? Choose the shape that most closely resembles your outline.

If your face is round, you should choose glasses that are square shaped or rectangular. Stick to more width than height in the shape. This will offset the curves of your face and make it appear less round. In the same way, if your face has lines that are sharper and all about the same width (forehead, temples, jaw line), round glasses can add some welcome curves. When it comes to the shape of your designer eyeglasses, opposites attract.

If your face is wider at the forehead and narrow at the chin, you have what is called a heart shaped face. Your best choice in designer glasses is probably something wider on the bottom and narrower at top. The trouble is, this shape can be difficult to find. Look for a frame that is squarer on the bottom and rounder on top- or even try a rimless pair and see what you think.

If your face is oval shaped, you’ve hit the jackpot. You can probably wear just about any shape of glasses available. Lucky you, play around with different shapes and colors and find something unique and even a bit extravagant.

When you are considering the size of your eyeglasses, the reverse is true. If you have a small face, great big glasses will overwhelm your features and cover up your face. If you have a large face and try to offset the look with small glasses, you’ll only draw attention to the very thing you are trying to minimize. The size of your eyeglasses should complement the size of your face. This way, you will have a total look that is balanced and attractive.

The final tip in choosing the perfect designer eyeglasses is to consider your skin tone when you choose the color of your frames. Typically speaking, warm toned skin looks best in warm toned glasses and cooler tones should look at cooler toned frames.

If you follow these general guides, you should be able to find the perfect designer eyeglasses for your face. Of course, if you have unique or extraordinary features and a bold personality to match, then break the rules all you want and show yourself to the world.

Brings Pediatric EyeCare and Contacts to Child Vision Marketplace

Lexington, SC, April 30, 2009--Eye care is a concern for many Americans. As time goes by, more and more Americans are experiencing vision problems. While impaired vision is often associated with age, many young adults, teens, and even children, experience difficulty seeing. Because the eye care industry has long been focused on adults and seniors, sufficient eye care options for younger patients have been limited. Envision Family EyeCare, an optometrist office serving the areas of West Columbia and Lexington, South Carolina, offers vision care based on the knowledge that people of all ages experience vision problems.

Envision Family EyeCare and its team of doctors developed a comprehensive eye care facility that specifically caters to younger patients. Concentrating on optometry for teens and children, Envision Family EyeCare has a wide variety of eye wear designed for teens and kids in their optometry department. The center is also one of the first in the area to offer contact lenses for children. The team of experts is effective at assessing prescriptions for child-friendly contacts or traditional lenses, as well as adult vision issues.

“A few months ago, I went for my first exam at Envision Family EyeCare. Dr. Reynolds changed my contact Rx and prescribed me a specialized lens for my astigmatism. With my new contacts, my vision is much sharper than before! Gretchan, Dr. Reynolds’s wife, who is also on staff at Envision Family EyeCare, assisted me in selecting new frames for glasses during my visit. Now, every time I wear my glasses I get compliments on how great they look! I recommend everyone I know to go see the team at Envision Family EyeCare for all of their vision needs,” said Ashleigh White, a satisfied Envision Family EyeCare patient.

Lexington, South Carolina Optometry Center Helps Locals Fight Diabetic Eye Disease with Regular Exams

Lexington, SC, February 21, 2009—Diabetes is one of the leading health concerns in the United States. Not only does diabetes require lifestyle changes that most would consider inconvenient, complications from diabetes can be very serious. Diabetics are at risk for loss of limbs, blindness, and even death. Yet, as many as sixteen million Americans have diabetes and many of them are not aware of their condition. Diabetic patients should also be aware that they are 25% more likely to lose their sight prematurely than those without diabetes. With regular eye exams, they can fight diabetic eye disease and maintain their vision longer. Envision Family Eye Care, a Lexington, South Carolina optometry center run by a team of doctors, offers comprehensive eye care for all ages as well as an aggressive diabetic eye care program.

Drs. William Reynolds and Nathaniel Jensen run their family-oriented eye care center based on the premise that their patients need more than a regular exam and proper eyewear in order to maintain their sight. Envision Family Eye Care focuses on the unique concerns of their patients with diabetes.  The center promotes a proactive diabetic eye disease prevention system of regular exams and seeks to educate its patients about the eye care concerns associated with diabetes to ensure their diabetic patients enjoy their vision longer.

 “When I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes and learned that I could possibly lose my sight at a somewhat early age, I got really scared. Dr. Reynolds and Dr. Jensen put my mind at ease when they told me that maintaining a diabetic-healthy diet, my blood sugar and regular exams could help me ensure that I maintain healthy vision. I never miss my regularly scheduled annual exams at Envision Family Eye Care to prevent diabetic eye disease. I’m so thankful that they go above and beyond their normal call of duty,” said one Envision Family Eye Care patient.
