In this prevailing 21st Century, you need style first and foremost than every other quality in this world. Every one among us has its characteristics. The way we dress-up, the way we carry ourselves, the way we put on accessories, the way we walk, and the way we respond through our body language to others – everything counts! Earlier, people use to only think about what they are wearing. Now they concern about what accessories they have worn. Your footwear, your handbags, your pieces of jewelry, and perhaps even your glasses sum up to make your look complete and conventional.

Your face has to do a lot of good with your looks. I believe that styling is more concerned than mere fashion. Your eyeglasses are a significant element to elevate your face’s charisma. Isn’t it? In this article, I have come up with some essential tactics for you to match your outfit with your eyeglasses. Make sure you read the content carefully and go through them step by step. I assure you that following these steps will make you turn into a better version of thyself. Let’s make a change to our outfit styling by matching it with our eyewear!

Know Your Skin ‘Undertone’

Let me make you clear at the beginning that your skin tone and your skin undertone are two different complexions. Your skin tone is what reflects through your outer skin. Your skin undertone is a complexion that makes your skin looks like what it does in real! You can’t see your skin undertone but, you can identify it. Expose your hand veins in the daylight (Not in sunlight). If they appear greenish or olive-hued, you are warm. If they appear to be blueish or purplish in character, you are cool.  You can choose warm, golden, or earthy shaded frames if you are warm by undertone. You can choose blue, black, or muted brown color frames to match your outfit well. If your eyes reflect hazel or a similar shade, you are likely to have a neutral undertone. You can choose chlorophyll green or magnetic blue frames to accompany your outfit.

Walk-in Your Wardrobe to See What You Have

Apparently, you must wear clothes that match with your skin tone as well as your skin undertone. However, if you have some garments in your closet that are of your favorite shades, you may walk-in the wardrobe to assess what you have. Before getting an elegant pair of eyeglasses, you must know which shades are there in your apparel dresser. Well, Muukal is the best for getting one, as it gives you the option of picking the frames by filtering them by colors. If you know what pastels you wear often, perhaps it becomes easy for you to know which color eyewear you should buy-in for matching your outfit. If you wear the same color almost every time like blue or black, try wearing frames with different colors. It will add personality to your monotonous outfit. You can match your frames easily with your outfit like this!

See What Accessories You Have!

Accessories have to do a lot with your looks after the clothes. Decide and know which accessories you are carrying along with your dress. Gold or Silver! If jewelry tends to be of gold, pick more passionate colors of frames. If your jewelry tends to be of silver, choose more cool colors of frames. If you wear silver and gold jewelry, of course, your frames must be silver or gold in color. If you like to look funky and fashionable, you should insist on wearing bold colored frames. It will enhance your overall look. Keep your accessories and frames parallel to each other, so it compliments your outfit.

What Glasses You Have? How Often You Change Them?

If you have a vision, I am sure you must be having one pair of eyeglasses or even multiple of them. But, most of us possess only one frame that is in no correlation with the latest trends, current market pieces, or matching to our outfits. It is wrong! I suggest you see what glasses you have today. If they are only one, rush to the stores, online or offline, and buy one spare frame. If you haven’t replaced your eyewear for ages, I prompt you to do it now! Trust me – I am saying this in your favor. Tip – Buy those glasses, which are the latest, and match your outfits!

Identify Your Styling System

Some people will never settle when it comes to style. Unlike me! If you are a style concern, you may never compromise on what you are putting on. You must be well aware of your personal style. Your outfit is your style symbol, and so are your glasses. Matching your glasses with your outfit will take your personality to cloud nine! Identifying your styling system is a must because you would want to look good. I assure your people who follow personal style always stand out from the crowd. 

Know the Occasion!

The last step is the most vital one out of all! Know the occasion for which you will wear your frames. The needs must be different, and so must be the eyewear! You may need a rimless frame to match your business suit or tuxedo. You might wear over-sized frames for parties and dancing. You would want to go with funky frames for fulfilling your fashion needs. If your duty is hard, like an army, or computer engineer, you will require durable glasses without chic frames to make it every day better for you. No matter what you have or you have not, always look pretty good. Match your eyewear with what you wear to look classy, bossy, and sassy! 

The eye is one of the most important senses. In case of an accident, a few seconds can decide whether vision is lost or impaired. Therefore it is of great importance to protect your eyes while working. In spite of safety precautions many workplaces cannot be completely secured and still bear a risk of eye injuries. Hence, easy access to an effective eye rinsing solution helps prevent or reduce the extent of the injury.

Structure and funtion of the eye

The human eye consists of many small parts, all of which are important to the sight.

The light crosses the cornea and reaches the anterior chamber of the eye, which is filled with aqueous fluid. The light is regulated by the iris and the refraction is done by the lens. The vitreous body fills the eye socket behind the lens.

The retina is the most important part of the eye because it is responsible for the visual function. The stimuli are combined here into a vision and forwarded to the brain.

Risks at work

Mechanical injuries: A large proportion of eye injuries are caused by mechanical influences, primarily foreign bodies such as chips, splinters, grains, dust, dirt etc. These foreign bodies can cause superficial or internal injuries such as bruises and bleeding.

Chemical injuries: Chemicals can enter and penetrate the eye in the form of a solid, liquid or gas substance. Both acid and alkaline can cause severe tissue damage. Decisive for the severity of the injuri is determained by the concentration of the chemical, the temperature and the duration of contact. 

Rinsing solutions for immediate treatment after an accident

In case of eye injuries, the rinsing solution is of great importance in order to reduce the potential damage. Quick access to an eye wash is therefore required for all workplaces with risk of an eye injuri.

The eye wash sould have the following qualities:

Effective also against exposure to chemicals

Easy and quick to use

Directly available at workplaces with high risks of eye injuries

Our rinsing solution range offers the right solution for almost every workplace. An overview of our bottles and stations can be found on our product page.

Important note:

Medical advice should always be sought in the case of eye injury. This also applies to injuries which may first appear harmless.

There are so many options to choose from when it comes time to pick a new pair of sunglasses, which can make the process fun but also a little daunting. Start by picking out the right size and style of frames for your face shape. From there, you can decide what color of lens is going to fit your needs best. Take your time making your decision and enjoy your new and improved pair of sunglasses!

Method

Picking Sunglasses Based on Your Face Shape

Opt for large brown or black frames if you have an oval-shaped face. If you have an oval-shaped face, you can wear almost any pair of frames you like. Darker colored lenses will accentuate your cheekbones. Cat-eye frames, aviators, round frames, squared frames, and others are fun options for you to explore.[1]

If your face is oval-shaped but also on the smaller side, stick with smaller, shorter frames instead of overly-large ones so that your facial features aren’t hidden. Wayfarer, hingeless, rectangle, and rimless or semi-rimless frames would be good options to look into.

With an oval-shaped face, you may want to pay more attention to your hair color and skin tone. For example, if you have pale skin, brown sunglasses could play nicely against your light skin. If you have darker skin, black frames could look very sophisticated. Green could look nice against pale skin, and yellow looks great against darker skin. Try out a few options to see which looks best.

Determine Your Face Shape: Look directly into a mirror and use a dry-erase marker or some lipstick to trace the outline of your face onto the mirror. Step back and look at the shape. Is it most like a square, a circle, an oval, or a heart?

2

Pick smaller frames or cat-eye glasses if you have a heart-shaped face. Heart-shaped faces tend to have larger brows and a smaller chin. Too-large sunglasses will take over your face and look bulky. In addition to cat-eye frames, round glasses, smaller rectangular glasses, and rimless glasses are nice options to pick from.[2]

Pick a color of shade that complements your skin tone. For example, if your skin has red undertones, steer clear of red or pink shades—opt for a cooler color, like blue or purple.

3

Go for a bigger, rounder frame if you have a square-shaped face. If you have wide cheekbones, a wide forehead, and a noticeable jawline, you most likely have a square-shaped face. If you wear small frames, they could make your face look bigger than it is. Avoid sunglasses with lots of angles, as they will make your face look boxy.[3]

Aviators in the classic, teardrop, or square shape are great picks if you have a square-shaped face.

Black frames tend to look larger than colored frames. If you don’t want black sunglasses, opt for a deeper color, like gray, purple, or even dark green.

4

Choose a wider, angled frame if you have a round-shaped face. Round faces tend to be about equal in height and width, so it’s important to choose sunglasses that are a little wider than the broadest section of your face. Rectangular and square sunglasses are great options for this face shape, as are wayfarer, sport, and retro frames.[4]

Avoid circular frames, as they will just make your face look rounder. 

Don’t be afraid to pick lenses with a little bit of bling around the edges. A cool pattern, rhinestones, or even glitter can be a great addition to your sunglasses.

Choosing the Right Color Lens

1

Opt for brown or amber lenses if you need to see far distances easily. If you play golf, spend time hiking in the great outdoors, go boating, or do anything else that requires you to look out at long distances, amber lenses can improve your depth perception and strain your eyes less than other lenses would. The red hue makes the contrast between landscape and sky much more apparent.[5]

Warning: Amber and brown frames aren’t the best for cloudy conditions so they don’t make the best driving sunglasses. They can impair your vision a little bit if the light is dim.

2

Pick gray or black lenses if you live in an equally sunny and cloudy area. Darker lenses reduce glare, provide protection for your eyes, and keep your eyes from getting fatigued. They’re a good pick if you do a lot of outdoor activities, like jogging, biking, or fishing, and they are also a good pick to wear while driving.[6]

Gray lenses are also great for people who love spending time in nature—you should still be able to see the things around you in their most natural color.

3

Look stylish while protecting your eyes with blue sunglass lenses. Blue lenses reduce glare, help you see details more clearly, and are good for both sunny and cloudy conditions. Plus, they look fashionable![7]

Blue lenses are popular with people who enjoy snow sports, like snowboarding and skiing. 

You’ve got your prescription sorted. ✓

You’ve even measured your pupillary distance. ✓

But because of the way varifocals work, we need to ensure your pupils are correctly positioned behind your new lenses. So, what is OC measurement when it’s at home?

Ocular centre height refers to vertical positioning of your pupils behind each of their respective lenses. This is measured in mm from the centre of each pupil to the lowermost section of the lens within the rim of a glasses frame.

In other words, we use your pupillary distance and your OC height to horizontally and vertically align your pupils with the middle of each of your lenses.

Oh, and because your new glasses are a different shape, this measurement is entirely unique to how your specific glasses frame rests on your head.

Your OC changes from frame to frame.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE OC HEIGHT FOR GLASSES?

Using a plastic ruler, this OC measurement would be approximately 29mm from the centre of his pupil to the bottom of his lens.

With help

• Stand/sit in front of your assistant

• Wear the glasses you’re ordering lenses for

• Your assistant vertically holds a plastic ruler against one lens

• They align the 0mm mark with your pupil centre

• They assess the distance to the bottom of your lens

• Note heights according to your left & right, not theirs.

On your own

• Stand/sit in front of a mirror

• Wear the glasses you’re ordering lenses for

• Vertically hold a plastic ruler against one lens

• Align the 0mm mark with your pupil centre

• Assess the distance to the bottom of your lens

• Note heights according to your left & right

OC height tips

• Only measure the lens, not the frame

• Use a plastic ruler to prevent scratches

• If it helps, close one of your eyes to help your focus

• Brace the ruler against your nose & the frame/lens

• Left & right are from your perspective, not your assistants

Measuring your vertical optical centre for sunglasses?

With help from a friend, ask them to shine a torch/light on the lens to illuminate your eye behind. This way they can accurately measure your OC height from the front of each lens.

WHY IS OC HEIGHT IMPORTANT FOR VARIFOCALS?

Every lens has an apex. This is the optical centre of a lens which should always be aligned with the centre of each of your pupils.

Optically speaking, this is called centration which is achieved by locating your pupils directly behind the middle of each lens whilst wearing a specific glasses frame. This is achieved using horizontal and vertical alignment in addition to the distance between your lenses (DBL).

• Horizontal centration is measured using your dual pupillary distances

• Vertical centration is measured using your ocular heights

In the context of varifocals, the importance of pupillary height is so that the neutral gaze of your eyes aligns with the centre of the lens in order to maximise progressive power.

Accurate centration means your pupil is in the optimal position to select the correct area of your lens to look through to see properly.

For varifocals, proper vertical centration prevents you from having to tilt your head to see through the correct portion of your lenses. In the workplace, this can lead to postural issues such as neck or back pain.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE PD FOR PROGRESSIVE LENSES?

For accuracy, progressive lenses require what’s called a dual pupillary distance.

This is a facial measurement from the centre your pupil to the centre of your nose for each of your eyes. The easiest method to do this is with a pupilometer with a slot for your nose which mimics the bridge of a glasses frame.

Key notes

• OC height is always measured in mm

• Always measure your OC from the bottom of the lens

• Your OC's & dual PD are susceptible to change if your glasses move on your face. Therefore, they aren't static and have a degree of movement tolerance.

• Your PD never changes, but your OC height does.

• For sunglasses, use a torch to see your pupils

Ordering varifocals online can be simplified if you have the proper centration measurements. If you invest the time to measure your vertical optical centre, you’ll save time and money on your progressive lens investment.

Bell peppers give you the most vitamin C per calorie. That's good for the blood vessels in your eyes, and science suggests it could lower your risk of getting cataracts. It's found in many vegetables and fruits, including bok choy, cauliflower, papayas, and strawberries. Heat will break down vitamin C, so go raw when you can. Brightly colored peppers also pack eye-friendly vitamins A and E.

An ounce of these seeds or almonds has half the amount of vitamin E the USDA recommends for adults each day. A large study found that vitamin E, together with other nutrients, can help slow age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from getting worse. It may also help prevent cataracts. Hazelnuts, peanuts (technically legumes), and peanut butter are also good sources of vitamin E.

Kale, spinach, and collard greens, for example, are rich in both vitamins C and E. They also have the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. These plant-based forms of vitamin A lower your risk of long-term eye diseases, including AMD and cataracts. Most people who eat Western diets don't get enough of them.

Your retinas need two types of omega-3 fatty acids to work right: DHA and EPA. You can find both in fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, and trout, as well as other seafood. Omega-3s also seem to protect your eyes from AMD and glaucoma. Low levels of these fatty acids have been linked to dry eyes.

Orange-colored fruits and vegetables -- like sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe, mangos, and apricots -- are high in beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A that helps with night vision, your eyes' ability to adjust to darkness. One sweet potato also has more than half the vitamin C you need in a day and a little vitamin E.

Zinc brings vitamin A from your liver to your retina, where it's used to make the protective pigment melanin. Oysters have more zinc per serving than any other food, but you don't have to be a shellfish lover to get enough: Beef, pork, and chicken (both dark and breast meat) are all good sources.

Prefer a vegetarian, low-fat, high-fiber option to help keep your vision sharp at night and slow AMD? Chickpeas are also high in zinc, as are black-eyed peas, kidney beans, and lentils. A can of baked beans will do the job, too.

It's a great package deal: The zinc in an egg will help your body use the lutein and zeaxanthin from its yolk. The yellow-orange color of these compounds blocks harmful blue light from damaging your retina. They help boost the amount of protective pigment in the macula, the part of your eye that controls central vision.

Your body can't make lutein and zeaxanthin, but you can get them from squash all year long. Summer squash also has vitamin C and zinc. The winter kind will give you vitamins A and C as well as omega-3 fatty acids, too.

These related veggies come with another winning combination of nutrients: vitamin A (as lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene), vitamin C, and vitamin E. They're all antioxidants that protect the cells in your eyes from free radicals, a type of unstable molecule that breaks down healthy tissue. Your retinas are especially vulnerable.
