How glasses are made. Sunglasses, how to choose the right one Suitable for a triangular face shape

Glasses are not only a decoration, but also a necessity for many people with vision problems. Their most fragile parts are the arms, which often break. We bring to your attention a method thanks to which you can now easily make glasses at home.

Necessary materials
Dark veneer for the frame (2 pieces 50x30)
Light veneer for interlayer (3 pieces 50x30)
Wooden block (about 50x30 cm)
Epoxy resin
Vise
Sandpaper
Spring clips (2 pieces)
Electric jigsaw
varnish

If you look closely at the frame of the glasses, you can see that it is slightly curved. In order for the frame to turn out like this, it is necessary to draw a slightly curved straight line on a wooden block and carefully divide it into two parts along the line using a saw. You get two bars: one is concave on one side, and the other is convex. All these parts are well sanded and sealed with tape.

Make a frame out of veneer. To do this, 3 light-colored pieces of veneer are stacked together one on top of the other, and dark ones on top and bottom.

All parts are well glued with epoxy resin.

Thus, the future frame will be layered.

To prevent the laminated veneer from coming apart, place it in a bag and wrap it tightly with tape. Then lay the veneer in part of the beam and clamp it in a vice. Allow to dry completely.

Remove excess adhesive and sand sandpaper from all sides.

Attach the old spectacle frame to the veneer and secure with spring clips. It is necessary to circle all the contours of the glasses with a pencil.

Using a jigsaw, cut out a new frame along the pencil lines.

Holes into which glasses will be inserted should be sanded.

The arms of the glasses can be made from any small wooden block, 1-1.5 cm thick. To do this, you need to circle the old temples with a pencil and cut along the contours with an electric jigsaw.

By personal fitting, determine the angle of the temples in relation to the frame of the glasses. Then mark with a pencil, draw a line and cut with a jigsaw.

It is necessary to make locks that will connect the temples and the frame of the glasses. To do this, draw the convex parts of the lock on the temples and holes for them on the frame. Carefully cut with a hacksaw.

Then connect the temples to the frame.

All wooden parts are varnished.

Glasses are not only the main summer accessory, they protect our eyes from harmful radiation, reduce fatigue and harmoniously complement the image. If, of course, you choose them correctly.

website I decided to figure out how to choose glasses specifically for your face shape and how to distinguish good lenses from the bad ones. And at the end there is a bonus for you.

How to determine your face type

Take a washable marker, lipstick, soap or pencil. Stand in front of a mirror at arm's length. Without deviating, outline the contour of the face, starting from the chin and ending with the hairline. Take a step back and look at the resulting shape.

The task is to visually lengthen the face, so choose dark-colored frames. They narrow the face and bring it closer to the oval. To balance the proportions of your face, choose frames that are wider than they are tall.

Not suitable for round face shape:

Round glasses.
Narrow frames.
Points with sharply defined corners.
Glasses in the form of geometric shapes.
Color contact lenses.
Glasses that cover the eyebrows.

The main task is not to violate harmonious proportions face, so avoid oversized glasses. It is better if the width of the frame is equal to the width of the face or slightly wider. Make sure that the top of the frame matches the line of the eyebrows.

Round frames.

Not suitable for rectangular face shape:

The challenge is to balance upper part face, weighing down the bottom. Massive ones will make the top even heavier, we don’t need this. Choose glasses the width of which is equal to the width of the face, preferably drop-shaped. Aviators are perfect.

Suitable for heart-shaped faces:

rounded, round glasses.
Small frames with narrow bridge.
Low set temples.
"Aviators".
"Waifarers".

Light and neutral color glasses.

Bonus: Checking Glasses for UV Protection

Take a UV flashlight and shine it through the lens of your glasses on any fluorescent object. It can be a pen cap, headphones, felt-tip pen or stickers. How better glasses filter out ultraviolet light, the less the object will glow.

Checking glasses for polarization

Polarized lenses filter out reflected light, reduce glare and reduce eye fatigue. It is very easy to distinguish glasses with a polarizing filter. Look at the surface with highlights. If the glasses are with a filter, then the glare will disappear.

If the glasses are rotated, then at a certain angle the glare will disappear and reappear.

Sunglasses are not only a stylish accessory, but also an important wardrobe item that will save your eyes from UV rays. What qualities should such glasses have?

The first thing you need to pay attention to when buying is protection from UVA (waves 320-400 nm long) and UVB (waves 290-320 nm long). This information must be indicated on the glasses label. Two options are allowed: "UVA and UVB Protection" or "UVA 400 Protection".

Do not buy glasses in unverified places. There sellers will not be able to guarantee you the protection. But do not rush to overpay for glasses popular brands: even the most budget accessories have UVA and UVB protection.

Lens color matters a lot. Shading must be at least 75%. It is best to choose yellow and orange lenses. Blue and purple are a dubious option. According to ophthalmologists, lenses of this color provide less protection. But it is worth noting that the fluctuations in the indicators are not so great. Therefore, if you categorically do not like glasses of warm sunny shades, feel free to take a different color.

By the way, if you are wearing contact lenses, then we can please you: most of them already include UVA and UVB filters.

Here are some more tips to help you choose your glasses.

For driving, purchase glasses with plastic glasses. In the event of an accident, they are less traumatic.
Photochromic accessories are a great option for those who wear corrective glasses all the time. The lenses darken when sunlight hits them. Therefore, in your room regular glasses, and in the sun - sunscreen.
Buy a special cloth for cleaning glass - you should not use the edge of a T-shirt for this.
