try on eyeglass frames virtually

Next Monday I am going to see Chris' friend Jeff the eye doctor. I've been struggling with really bad migraines for several weeks now, and something tells me it's vision-related. I've never had an eye exam before and my regular doctor has been after me for a few years now to get it done.

If I do need a vision correction it will be glasses. I would not be able to put in contacts myself, and hell will freeze over before I let anyone touch my eyeballs on a daily basis. So tonight I decided to have some fun and see what I would look like with glasses, and what kind of frames might look good on me. I picked out six styles I liked.

[virtually modeling six different frames]

How did I do that? I used FramesDirect's Virtual Try On. All you need is a good high resolution photo of yourself. Your head does not have to be straight (although you should be directly facing the camera), and you don't have to be the only person in the picture. The application will rotate and zoom in on your face with just a few clicks. Go ahead and try it for yourself. Click here to browse over 100,000 eyeglass frames!

So which frames do you think look best on me?

Cool! From personal experience I will tell you that the metal frames with the nose pads get really annoying...causing their own aches & pains. I prefer plastic frames myself. You are obviously drawn to the granny style! I like the lower middle best.

My eye exam yesterday confirmed my suspicions. I don't have a severe vision problem; no nearsightedness or farsightedness. But I do have astigmatism...
