| General Guidelines In Choosing Frame |
|
|
Eye Position
Your eyes should be cantered within the lens openings, regardless of frame shape. |
|
Width
Choose frames that are wide enough so there is slight clearance between the frames and the sides of your head. If frames feel too tight or loose at the store, they can feel very uncomfortable after several hours of wear. |
|
Brow
Let your eyebrows define the top of your frames; the top of the frames should follow your natural brow line. Darker or thicker or darker frames can balance thick eyebrows. |
|
Proportion
Select frames in proportion to your body size and weight. Thin and delicate frames accentuate slender figures, and thicker frames balance well with fuller figures. |
|
Lenses
Thinner, lighter, reflection-free lenses are premium choices, but may come at extra costs. High-index plastic lenses and anti-reflective coatings make for a flattering appearance. For bifocals, progressive lenses can provide a contemporary, no-line look. |
Your Face Shape
In general, the most attractive frames gently counterbalance your face shape and features. For example, if you have a round face, frames with angular shapes will counterbalance the roundness of your face for a more attractivelook.
Round frames will do the opposite - they will exaggerate the roundness of your face.

Tips
|
Make sure that your eyes are positioned in the middle of the lens.
If your eyes are close-set, avoid large frames. |
|
Your eyebrows should align with the top bar of your glasses. |
|
Avoid wearing frames that have shapes similar to your face, as a general rule. In other words, don't wear round frames if you have a round face. Rather, choose frames in a different cut from your face shape. |
