I spoke about Choosing Glasses for Your Face Shape in a recent blog post. I also pointed out our animated frame selection application. All this is good advice on the frames that fit the major types of face shape.
Right Glasses for Your Face
While some of us may fit nicely into the oval or oblong, etc. face shapes, there is much more to finding exactly the right frames to fit not only your face shape but also your skin tone, your hair color, and even your personality.
For example, a dear friend of mine has a number of them, some with very stylish coloring. She selects from her collection depending on her mood that morning or the events planned for her day. She also has a collection of sunglasses, which offer even more style options.
Balancing Fashion and Function
Fashion can be a key criterion for your selection, but don’t forget about the function of your glasses. It needs to include vision correction. It also needs to take into account your lifestyle. If you’re spending most of your time in front of a computer screen, that needs to be taken into account for your lens prescription as well as how they fit.
So, fashion can be fun but you also need to remember that your glasses are designed to correct your vision.
Comfort, Usability, Precision Fitting
Of course, the best comfort and usability are the direct result of precision fitting by an experienced optometrist. As just one example, your eyes need to sit in the exact center of the lenses. This is not necessarily the center of the frames you select. Your optometrist makes this measurement and builds it into the lens, precisely fitting your eyes.
In addition, when you glasses are ready, your optometrist will verify that they fit correctly and respond to any concerns you might have. That includes follow-up visits. It’s all about complete on-going vision care.
