Glasses these days have a dual purpose: They improve your vision, and they serve as a fashion accessory that can enhance, rather than detract from your looks. Some people like glasses so much they get ones with plain glass in them because they don't even have bad eye sight and wear them only for the looks.

on 11/22/2005 As Greg Proops says, glasses should be bold enough to be noticed, but you have to have the personality to back up your frames. Don't be afraid to try something a bit daring--if you're gonna wear 'em, you may as well be proud of 'em! Just remember you'll be stuck with them for a couple of years.

on 12/15/2005 Your best bet is to choose an experienced optician. The way a frame looks on the shelf is sometimes drastically different from the way it looks once your prescription is put in it. Ask the person helping you what their qualifications and experience levels are. Look for American Board of Optician certification. Also, a lot of places use digital photography to show you what the glasses look like to make it easier on those of us who are blind as a bat!

on 11/22/2005 For a roundish/ovalish small face, I find that small rectangular glasses with curved corners look great.
