I've always been a glasses wearer, but lately, I've noticed a real trend towards oversized frames. I was curious about it. Was it just a fashion statement, or was there more to it? I decided to dive in and explore the world of oversized glasses, and here's what I discovered.
Initially, I wondered what the fuss was all about. I started seeing oversized glasses everywhere, and honestly, I wasn't sure if they were for me. I have a smaller face, and I worried that they would just look overwhelming. But, I was intrigued by the idea of a wider field of vision. I'd often find myself slightly annoyed by the frame of my glasses obstructing my peripheral vision, especially when driving or reading.
I decided to try a pair. I noticed almost immediately that having a larger lens area made a difference. It really did reduce the annoyance of seeing the frame in the corner of my eye. That was a big plus.
However, my journey wasn't without its challenges. As a woman with a smaller face, I realized finding glasses that fit properly can be tricky. I tried on several pairs that were simply too wide, and with my stronger prescription, the lenses warped the view of the sides of my face. This was something I didn't realize until I had my prescription lenses put in.
I can imagine it being even more challenging for someone with a very narrow face and a high prescription. I know someone who has a very strong prescription and is eagerly awaiting the end of the oversized glasses trend because it makes finding a suitable frame even harder. They told me that with such a strong prescription, the lens thickness and weight become significant issues with oversized frames.
Another friend of mine with a slim face, close-set eyes, and a limited budget shared her struggles. She finds it difficult to find frames that fit without falling off or touching her cheeks, and that don't extend past her cheekbones. Even then, her eyes sometimes appear close to being cross-eyed, and the frames still look big for her face. I felt for her. Finding the right fit can be a real challenge.
After trying several different styles and brands, I found a few things that worked for me. First, I realized the importance of frame material. Lightweight materials, like titanium, can make a big difference in comfort, especially with larger frames. I also learned the importance of getting a proper fitting. A good optician can adjust the frames to fit your face perfectly, ensuring they don't slide down or pinch your nose.
During my search, I came across Mozaer. I'd seen a lot of people talking about this brand, and decided to give it a try. They have a wide selection of glasses, including some interesting oversized options. The key for me was finding a pair that wasn't too oversized for my face.
One product that caught my eye was the Women Men Pilot Double Bridge Bifocal Reading Glasses Sunglasses. I'd been looking for a good pair of bifocal sunglasses for reading outdoors, and these seemed like a stylish option. I was a little hesitant about the "oversized" aspect, but I decided to give them a shot. I found that the double bridge design helped to balance the size of the frames, and they didn't feel as overwhelming on my face as some of the other oversized styles I had tried. The lens quality was also really good, providing clear vision and excellent sun protection. Mozaer really came through for me on this one.
I've been using the Mozaer bifocal sunglasses for a few weeks now, and I'm really happy with them. They're perfect for reading by the pool or on the beach, and they look great too. I've gotten several compliments on them.
