• Where to get some round sunglasses?

  You can search them in the web browser, like google with key words. There you will find many round glasses. I once found Bvlgari which has round sunglasses to sell. Hope this helps you.

• why do sunglasses give me a headache?

  Make sure whether your sunglasses have prescription. If they do have, then your headache may due to the wrong prescription.Then you should take your sunglasses to your eye doctor to have a check and let them remake for you. If your sunglasses have right prescription, then your headache may be caused by the coatings on the lenses. If your sunglasses cannot block 100% UV rays, then you will get headache when you are exposed to the bright sunshine.

• What kind of sunglasses can eliminate black spots or "flies" of the vision?

  No. Sunglasses cannot remove black spots or "flies" of the vision. The black vision is also called floaters which are caused by the shadow of dead cells and fine aggregates of vitreous protein on the retina. So you can take a surgical procedure which is called "vitrectomy" to eliminate the black spots. The supplementation of Lutein Taurine is also a good way to remove the black spots, which helps regenerate tissues in the retina. However, I haven't heard that sunglasses can eliminate the black spots.

• Will the vision worsen if you don't wear glasses?

  It is ture. You should listen to what your doctor adviced you. When I was 13 years old, my vison got -1.00, then my doctor advices me to wear my glasses all the time, and I didn't listen to him, then when I go back to have the eye exam again 1 years later, my vision got -2.25. That really surprised me! Wear glasses all the time is good for your vision.

• What should I know to choose a pair of good sunglasses?

  When you go to buy a pair of sunglasses, you should check whether they have 100% UV protection first. Make sure the sunglasses can filter the blue light which can damage the retina. Then choose sunglasses that are comfortable to wear and they should be your preferences. You can try on the sunglasses you like and select one that suit you best.

• What kind of sunglasses will look cool for a 37-year-old man?

  In order not to make your face appear so long, you shouldn't choose the long, narrow and rectangular frames but select wide, square frames with low bridge and depth from top to bottom. Blue and brown will suit your white skin best.

• What are computer glasses?

  Computer glasses are prescription glasses that are designed to wear when doing computer work. They allow you to focus your eyes on a computer screen, which is farther away than reading material is normally
  held. There are other activities such as for example playing piano(piano glasses) or shooting (shooting glasses) that also require a similar custom fitting. These specialty glasses called "task-specific"
  are designed to meet the visual needs of the activity. General purpose bifocals are not designed for computer work. They force the wearer to tilt the head back in order to focus on the screen while looking through the lower segment of the bifocal lenses. Such a forced
  position can cause neck and shoulder pain and it can also cause arm and
  low back pain. Depending on the individual's vision and type of
  work, there are several options while selecting computer-specific
  glasses, such as Monofocal ,Bifocal ,Trifocal and Progressive Addition Lenses (PAL) Source: http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/ergonomics/office/computer_glasses.html
