Factors to Consider When Selecting New Eyewear

Selecting new eyeglasses can be fun, but there are many things to consider. You want your new eyeglasses to meet your eye care needs, while also enhancing your appearance and suiting your lifestyle.

In this post, Six One Six Vision Center discusses key features to consider when choosing a new pair of eyeglasses:

Color

Glasses aren’t just something you use to help you see better; they can also be a fashion statement. Choosing a shade that complements your skin tone and hair color will enhance your overall appearance and make you feel more confident when you wear your glasses.

Frame Size

Choosing the wrong size can either result in your glasses being too loose and falling off your face or too tight and causing headaches. Our opticians will help you choose the perfect size; they’ll take careful measurements and you’ll have a chance to try different frame sizes on until you find a comfortable fit. If you play sports or lead an active lifestyle, you may have different needs when it comes to frame size than if you’ll primarily be wearing your glasses in an office at work.

Frame Shape

The shape of the frames should complement your face shape. For instance, if you have a round face, then rectangular glasses will likely be flattering. If you have a heart-shaped face, then round glasses may look best. When you come to your appointment, you can try on as many different frames as you like and our specialists will provide feedback on which ones look the most flattering.
