Choose the Right Frames for Eyeglasses

Nearly 75% of adults need some sort of vision correction. Many of these people have difficulty distinguishing faraway objects, experience blurry vision, or see fuzzy text when reading. Eyeglasses are a common solution to these vision difficulties. Some patients prefer stylish glasses that accentuate their faces while correcting their vision problems. One critical aspect to consider when buying eyeglasses at Primary Eyecare & Optical of Meridian is the frames. Let’s look at how our optometry specialists help our patients choose the perfect pair of glasses.

Examine Your Face Shape

During the eye exam, the optician also examines your face shape. People have different face shapes (oval, diamond, round, heart-shaped), and each requires a different set of eyeglasses to enhance their look. People with round faces, for example, need square or rectangular eyeglasses to add balance to their rounded features. They should also avoid small, rimless, or round eyeglasses because they make their faces look more round.

On the other hand, those with oval faces should look for eyeglasses with a strong bridge to make their faces appear wider than the broadest part of the face. Oval faces have the easiest time when looking for glasses. However, they should avoid large eyeglasses that cover up more than half of the face.

Choose the Right Prescription Lenses

The main goal of an eye exam is to improve your vision. While frames are attractive, lenses do most of the work. As such, our eye doctors help you determine the type of lenses you need. Some lenses have unique features that accentuate your style as well. For example, some glasses have anti-reflective coatings that reduce glare and the blue light emitted by computer screens.

Your Style

Style influences many people’s decisions in modern-day living, even when choosing eyeglasses. When you are making your decision, you want to eliminate the types that do not sync with your everyday style. Also, think about the activities you do while wearing eyeglasses. Are you an avid reader, gamer, or spend most of your time interacting with management at the office? These factors can play an important role during the selection process.

Consider Colors that Match Your Skin Tone

Similar to your face shape, your skin tone also determines the type of eyeglasses you should wear. People with warm skin tones (bronze, golden, or yellow) often choose eyeglasses with brown, olive green, or golden shades. However, if you have a cool skin tone, black, blue, silver, and gray eyeglasses are usually the best options.
