Some believe that wearing plain glasses is a slap in the face to those who must rely on prescriptions in order to have good vision. Glasses have become such a fashion statement. Even individuals who wear plain old readers can find them in all shapes and sizes in very upscale stores and yes, even discount stores such as the dollar stores found in most American towns. There are even websites devoted to glasses exclusively sans prescriptions. Who knew that this would continue to be a trend years after it started?
Years ago, it was considered gauche and in poor taste to be seen wearing glasses for the sake of wearing them when one did not need a prescription. Today, they have become the fashion statement and accessory seen worn by stars and everyday people around town.

Everyday citizens are flocking to stores in search of plain glasses. Men and women are on the hunt for the perfect accessory and not just one pair several pairs to complement wardrobes of varying styles: evening and formal attire, business wear, students, and job hunters they are all seeking the look that comes with a pair of smartly fashioned lenses.
