There are plenty of guides with good advice on how to choose the perfect glasses. For some, it can be overwhelming with all the tips. Therefore, OjeOje's founder Mette Wotkjær has selected the 3 strongest pieces of advice to keep in mind when choosing your new reading glasses.
1. Make sure your eyebrows can still be seen above the frame
Eyebrows are a central part of your face's expression, as they reflect emotions like surprise, joy, and concentration. Your brows frame your face and give it character – creating a natural balance between your eyes and the rest of your face. If your glasses completely cover your eyebrows, your face can appear expressionless, even if the frame itself is beautiful! This doesn't mean you have to compromise on style – quite the opposite! A pair of reading glasses that follow or complement the shape of your brows will elevate your entire look and make both your glasses and your face work together in a beautiful and personal way. It's not just about fashion – it's also about being able to reflect your personality in your appearance.
So remember: When trying on glasses, look in the mirror and check if you can see your eyebrows.
Psst… we keep in mind that it can be difficult to choose the right glasses online – that's why we are always ready to help you by phone, email, or in our Showroom.
2. Glasses are more than just vision – they are a part of your identity
When you choose new reading glasses, it's not just about strength, shape, or color. It's primarily about YOU. Glasses sit in the middle of your face (or in your hair) – every single day – and they say something about who you are. Therefore, the choice of glasses should always be based on your gut feeling and your personality – not just on current trends. Are you the type who loves to stand out and show confidence? Then perhaps the striking, oversized reading glasses with an edge are right for you. Or are you more into thin, small reading glasses that blend in a bit more with your face without drawing too much attention? That kind of glasses sends a different signal: calm and elegance – without shouting.
In short: No matter what type you are, one thing applies: You should choose with your gut – not just with your head. The pair of glasses that feels right will make you relax, feel at home in your expression, and be true to yourself. That's what ultimately makes the glasses suit you – not whether they are big or small, colorful or classic.
3. Always keep the climate and quality in mind when buying glasses
Did you know that your choice of glasses can actually make a real difference for the environment? Glasses are a product that we use more than many people think. With over 80% of Danes over 40 years old being glasses wearers and an average consumption of 4-6 pairs of glasses per year, this amounts to millions of frames and lenses – and a large climate footprint. Therefore, it is worth pausing and thinking: What are your glasses made of? How long do they last? And what happens to them when you no longer use them?
When you choose high-quality glasses that are designed to last – and that are produced from recycled materials – you are not just investing in your vision, but also in a more responsible future. And with the right quality, you don't need to buy new ones all the time – this saves money, resources, and waste.
Psst… it's not about doing without – but about being mindful of the environment! See all our recycled reading glasses
