The Spectacle Frame

Spectacle frame - the essential component of corrective glasses - now comes in bewitching designs in varied materials and colours to serve as an accessory to see through comfortably as also to be looked at admiringly.

Whether it be for myopia or hyperopia, glasses are usually meant for constant use by youngsters. In presbyopia, one needs to wear glasses either for near work, as a bifocal, or in the form of a no-line progressive power lens.

Contact lenses of course are an invisible correction for all types of refractive errors.

Coming back to the spectacles, the "Sania Mirza" rectangular, thick, black frame is still in demand by youngsters in India. And in the US, people are going crazy in their demand for "Sarah Palin" rectangular, rimless, titanium frame - from the Japanese designer Kazuo Kawasaki - the former beauty queen and the Republican nominee for vice-presidentship of USA wears.
