I need glasses - have never had them before, give me advice please?

[lilibet]

The lovely optician told me that it was due to my age

I'm on a pretty limited budget but have seen there are lots of special offers about so should be able to get two pairs.

Should I get one pair tinted and use them as sunglasses, or will I get fed up of always wearing the same pair and want a change?

And I have a very fat face - like this - - what sort of style should i get to make me look like I have cheekbones?

If you are on a limited budget go to spec savers. I have got a pair that I wear every day and I dont get fed up just buy what you like and suits you. And my 2nd pair that I got where sun glasses and I wouldnt be with out them that is for sure.

I got two pairs of normal specs - the tinted ones look weird to me as they aren't sunglassy frames, iyswim. I wear a hat to shade my eyes and am saving for prescription Oakleys.

Also means that when you lose your main pair or have new lenses put in them (cheaper than buying new frames evey time px changes) you have a usable spare pair - esp important if you need them to drive.

Take a blunt friend to advise on shapes.

yes - see what you mean about the frames

hadn't thought of that - thank you

Been to specsavers at lunch, Tesco seem to have a better deal at the moment
