Everyone has different needs when choosing eyeglass frames.  A proper fit and style that suits you are two of the main objectives.  Your face size and shape, hair and eye color, and other factors will influence this decision.  Our trained staff will help you through this process.  Making the right decision regarding frame selection will affect how your glasses look, whether or not they’re comfortable, and how well you see with them.

Proper Fit
If your frames fit properly, they will not pinch or move around on your face.  They should not rest on your cheeks, touch your temples, or make contact with your brows.  If any of your normal facial expressions or movements shifts your glasses or causes discomfort, they may not be appropriate for you.  Adjustments to the ear pieces, nose pieces, or other parts of the frame may improve the fit. 

Face Shape
The shape of your frames should work well with the shape of your face.  There are five main face shapes: oval, round, rectangular, square and triangular.  Our staff will work with you to determine the best shape for your face.

Thickness of Frames and Lenses
Over the years, a great deal of progress has been made in reducing the thickness and magnifying appearance of lenses.  Nevertheless, if you’re placed in the wrong frames, strong prescription lenses may produce some unnecessary effects.  If you’re farsighted, convex lenses may make your eyes look magnified.  Larger frames can bring your eyes back into proportion with the rest of your face.  If you are nearsighted, the opposite is true and your lenses may make your eyes look smaller than normal.  Placed in larger frames these lenses will increase this effect, whereas compact frames will reduce it.
