4 Surprising Reasons You Need Glasses (Even Without an Rx)

Nerd chic is in and even if you aced your eye exam, you may find yourself coveting a pair of designer glasses. 
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. The trend of wearing non-rx glasses is all the rage. So why should you invest in a pretty pair of glasses that you don’t technically need? We have a few reasons.
Here are 4 surprising reasons you should rock those non-prescription glasses:

1. Function 

When you purchase your non-rx specs from Eyeconic, lens enhancements can make your fashion choice functional. Your lenses will already come with UV protection, but there are a few enhancements you can add to make your glasses even more beneficial.

2. Fashion

Just like prescription glasses, non-rx come in a variety of frame materials, brands, shapes, and colors making them a popular accessory that instantly transforms your entire look. Want to add an air of sophistication during an interview? Grab some square frames and you’re ready to go.

3. Quality

Not all non-prescription glasses are created equal. When shopping around for a pair, you may be tempted to go for a cheap pair. Do yourself—and your eye health— a favor and don’t. 
If you’re going to spend the time searching for the perfect pair, you should take quality into consideration. Treat your eyes to high quality frames from trusted brands like Nike, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Stella McCartney. 
You should also consider the lens quality you are buying. For example, polycarbonate lenses (included with Eyeconic glasses) are thinner, lighter, and 10 times stronger than the standard CR-39 lenses (what you get on other sites) making them the perfect lens for athletes, safety glasses, and eyewear for children and adults who prefer lightweight, protective lenses. 

4. Kids 

With the emergence of “geek chic” and the surge of superheroes wearing glasses (we’re looking at you, Superman and Wonder Woman) it should be no surprise when your kid asks for a pair of specs. 
If an annual eye exam has already determined glasses aren’t needed, non-rx glasses are a great option.
