The perfect pair of glasses

Let’s talk about the different types of lenses available. Here’s a breakdown of the most common ones:

Single Vision: Corrects for nearsightedness (difficulty seeing far) or farsightedness (difficulty seeing near).

Bifocal: Has two lens powers in one lens – one for distance and one for reading.

Progressive (No-Line Bifocals): Gradually changes power throughout the lens, allowing you to see clearly at all distances without a visible line.

Polycarbonate: Impact-resistant plastic lens, great for active lifestyles or children.

Trivex: Even lighter and more impact-resistant than polycarbonate, a good option for high-prescription lenses.

Now, onto finding the perfect fit for your face! There are several common face shapes, and each flatters different frame styles. To determine yours, stand in front of a mirror and trace the outline of your face with a washable marker.

Oval: The most versatile face shape. You can wear almost any frame style!

Round: Look for frames that add definition, like rectangular or angular styles.

Square: Soften your angles with curved frames, like aviators or cat-eyes.

Heart-shaped: Balance your features with wider frames that are slightly wider than your forehead. Round or aviator styles can also work well.

Long: Opt for frames that add width to your face, like wayfarers or oversized styles.

Here are some additional tips for finding the right fit:

Brow line: The top of the frame shouldn’t rest on your eyebrows.

Temple width: The temples should rest comfortably behind your ears without squeezing.

Nose bridge: The bridge should sit comfortably on your nose without leaving indentations.

Overall size: The frames shouldn’t be wider than your face or overwhelm your features.

Don’t forget about personal style! While it’s important to find frames that flatter your face shape, you should also choose a style that reflects your personality.

Trying them on is key! We have a wide selection of frames here, so feel free to try on as many pairs as you like until you find the perfect combination of fit, function, and style.
