- Don’t get dazzled by the big names. Lots of opticians stock beautiful designer name frames. Frames from big names such as Chanel might have a great logo on them but at the end of the day the most important thing is that they suit your face shape. Try on lots of frames, take pictures and only pick the ones that you will be happy wearing.

- Keep your glasses nearby at all times – If you are anything like me, when you leave your glasses behind that is that day that you are sure to need them – the eye strain and migraine are not worth it!
