Non Prescription Glasses

Glasses are usually used to help us read easier. Non-prescription glasses are cheaper and easier to buy than glasses prescribed by an ophthalmologist or eye doctor. You do not need a prescription for this type of glasses. You often see people between the ages of thirty-five and ninety-nine wearing this type of glasses. It has happened to all of us. Once we reach a certain age we cannot read the fine print. It seems they are making the writing on labels, prescription drugs, food items, and several other items we use every day so small that we cannot read them with the naked eye.

This type of glasses can be found at your local drug store, department store, and even grocery stores. There are different strengths available depending on how bad your eyesight is. Choosing the right glasses for you is as easy as trying them on. Most retail stores provide several different strengths of non-prescription glasses. Mirrors are also provided so you can choose a pair that fit your personality.

Many celebrities are now wearing non-prescription glasses. These celebrities have never been seen wearing glasses before. It is usually the lady celebrities that wear these glasses. Celebrities are starting a new trend that some are calling 'geek chic'. The chunky-framed non-prescription glasses are just a fashion statement. It seems that wearing eyeglasses is the cool thing to do these days.

Wearing eyeglasses used to be considered very uncool. Those who wore them were usually the nerdy kids. They were often called four eyes and made fun of. Some kids would go off to school and forget their glasses at home. They often did this on purpose because they didn't want to be made fun of at school. If they didn't forget their glasses at home then they accidentally lost them or broke them.

The point I'm trying to make is that now wearing glasses is considered part of our wardrobe. Glasses are needed accessories when we get dressed every morning. For those of us who need glasses for reading we make sure those glasses are tucked in our purses or shirt pockets for easy accessibility. We never know when we are going to need glasses to read important information.

So whether you need non-prescription glasses for reading or you just want to make a fashion statement these types of glasses are readily available. Just visit your local store and check out the glasses they have available.
