I think that when I was young, I probably took my good sight for granted. Now I am very aware that sight is a precious gift to value and that we should look after our eyes. We are advised to go for routine eye tests, protect our eyes from the sun by wearing good sunglasses 😎and to be careful with our use of screens.💻📱. The last one is easier said than done when we have desk jobs or are bloggers!
Even those of us who are lucky enough to be born with good sight find that when we get to about 50, very small print begins to seem smaller and we are holding the newspaper or book a little further away! Soon we are going to need reading glasses.
☹️🤓
I don't need to wear glasses or contact lenses for long sight but I definitely need glasses for reading or close work. Whilst there are lots of ready made reading glasses in the shops, (okay perhaps for the quick glance at print when out and about), it's advisable to go to the opticians for an eye test and get properly prescribed lenses that exactly suit our individual needs. Anyway, an optician can spot problems that may be developing in our eyes or even notice indications of other health problems as our eyes can be a mirror of our general health.
It was time for my routine test and I had been aware recently that I was straining to read some small print etc, even with my glasses on. So I went along to my opticians, Chatoo in Kensington. They are excellent, well established opticians offering expertise in eye testing, glasses and contact lenses and carry a good selection of frames, including designer brands. A very thorough test revealed that the close sight in my right eye was a little worse and I needed a slightly higher prescription for just that eye.
Chatoos recommended thinner lenses which are not only lighter and more comfortable but look more attractive. They also advised an anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating. I thought it was well worth spending a bit extra for those benefits.
Now for new frames. I'd kept the same very expensive designer frames for ages but they were really worn out now. I was shown a range of attractive frames by a Danish brand called NIFTIES, especially designed for "fine facial features". By this they meant slim, narrow or even petite faces. "Nifty" means stylish and smart so the essence of their brand is "small and chic" - I like that concept!!! 😍
I chose these brown tortoiseshell effect frames below.
I liked the slightly cat eye shape, which gave a little lift to my face and the size seemed just right for my small proportions.

I'm really happy with my new reading glasses and it's so much easier and more comfortable to work now!

Lovely glasses, very contemporary design and they are exactly right for your face shape! I am short sighted so I wear contact lenses mostly, but then have to wear reading glasses which is a pain when reading is normally not a problem, just long distance - I call it the double whammy!
