Oversized Glasses - More Than Just a Fashion Trend

Oversized glasses, also known as "oversized" or "statement" glasses, have been a hot trend in fashion and accessories in recent years. But beyond being a stylish accessory, oversized glasses can actually offer several benefits for your eye health and vision. Let's explore why oversized glasses may be a good choice for you.

Better Protection for Your Eyes

One of the biggest advantages of oversized glasses is that they provide better protection for your eyes. With larger lenses, the glasses cover a larger area around your eyes, shielding them from:

• Dust and dirt
• Wind and dry air
• UV radiation from the sun

By protecting your eyes from these external factors, oversized glasses can help reduce the risk of eye irritation, dry eyes, and even certain eye diseases.

Wider Field of Vision and Less Distortion

Oversized glasses typically offer a wider field of vision compared to smaller glasses. This is because the larger lenses cover a greater portion of your peripheral vision. A wider field of vision can be particularly advantageous when driving, playing sports, or engaging in other activities where good peripheral vision is important.

Additionally, oversized glasses can minimize visual field distortion that can occur with certain types of lenses, especially for those with strong prescriptions. Larger lenses provide a smoother visual experience and minimize distortions at the edges of the field of view.

More Options for Lens Treatments

With larger lenses, opticians have more room to work with when it comes to applying various lens treatments and techniques. This can include:

• Anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare and reflections
• Blue light filters to protect your eyes from harmful blue light emitted by digital screens
• Photochromic lenses that automatically darken in sunlight

These treatments can enhance your visual comfort, reduce eye strain, and provide better protection for your eyes in different environments.

A Versatile Accessory for Your Personal Style

In addition to the functional benefits, oversized glasses are also a versatile accessory that can complement your personal style. With so many different shapes, colors, and materials to choose from, you can find a pair of oversized glasses that suits your face shape and expresses your individuality.

Whether you prefer a classic look with thick, black frames or a more playful style with colorful or patterned frames, there's a pair of oversized glasses for everyone.

Oversized Glasses and Contact Lenses - A Perfect Combination

If you love the look of oversized glasses but sometimes prefer the convenience of contact lenses, you can easily combine the two. Many people alternate between wearing glasses and contact lenses depending on the occasion and activity.

When wearing contact lenses, you can still enjoy the added protection and style that oversized glasses offer by wearing them as sunglasses or computer glasses. This gives you the best of both worlds - the convenience of contact lenses and the benefits of oversized glasses.

Remember, regular eye exams are important whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or both. At Netlens, we are committed to helping you find the best contact lenses for your needs and lifestyle.
