Can You Read The Small Print?

According to Fulton John Sheen "What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away..." and although situations arise where one simply ignores the small print or opts not to read it one would still like the option of making this choice rather than having it taken away because reading the small print is simply not physically possible.

This can occur in situations where ones eyesight falls into the range where support is required form an early age due to various factors or in the case as with most of us where age related degeneration occurs and we are forced to face the fact that living without glasses or contact lenses is no longer an option. Certainly in the advancing age category consumers can tend to be hesitant to make the transition to being dependent on visual aids. In the pre-internet era there was simply no option but to visit a location where glasses were sold and try on several pairs until a suitable match was found and this needed to take place at a time that these stores were open and one had to allow sufficient time to make the appropriate and sometimes hair-raising selection.

However with the arrival of the internet there is the added convenience of buying glasses online where you are able to browse at your convenience and take your time to select glasses that you will feel comfortable with. Given however that selecting a pair of glasses is as much about being able to read the fine print as making an appropriate aesthetic impression one would think that buying glasses online would not meet both criteria. Remarkably now the technology exists where one can make use of 'virtual mirrors' to make a selection online. Not only are there standardised options to select a facial shape but you can upload your own photo to obtain a preview of what your new look would be.

If you buy your glasses online through a reputable company you can avoid the need to pay a special visit to an optometrist but also avoid rushing your personal selection.

Online glasses direct can also provide a means to try out a set of glasses for a specified period to ensure that you are entirely satisfied with your purchase. So you can test them on your favourite reading material, and check whether you can read the fine print all in the comfort of your own home. Your nearest and dearest would also have the opportunity to give you feedback on your look before you venture out into the world at large.
