Frame Shape
Selection Guide.
Style is truly a personal preference and reflection of one's
personality. Styles come and go, but there are basic guidelines that all
styles and time adhere to. We will gladly share our wealth of experience
in frame selection, based on your cosmetic, lifestyle, and ophthalmic
needs. |

• The frame shape should contrast slightly with the face shape:
It
is not generally recommended to put a round frame on a round face, a
square frame on a square face, etc. However, style is truly a personal
expression and there really is not a right or wrong by today's high
fashion, but we will make sure that the functionality of your eyewear is
not compromised by your taste, but rather copacetic.
•
The
frame size should be proportionately balanced to the size of your face:
Generally speaking, your eye should be in the center
of the frame, from the left & right. Again, functionality plays a key
role in this selection as frame cosmetics can be for naught if the lens
looks bad, or you can not see properly.
• Eyewear should
accentuate your best, or specific features, for example:
If you have
grayish to white hair, stay away from silver frames. The contrast will
give you the appearance of 'Muddy' gray hair, while a gunmetal, Dull
Gray, or black color frame will highlight just the silver color of your
hair affording the luxury of a very distinguished appearance.

• Frame quality:
Frames should
compliment one's personality and/or desired image, as well as
their ophthalmic requirements. There are many choices in life
that will require educated decisions, or to trust one who's
education and experience is in your field of need. Quality of a
specific product is one of them.
There are many frame
designs and styles, to choose from, and the challenging aspect which we excel in,
is finding that happy medium between style and functionality.
Our job, and yours, will be to find that 'perfect' fit and bring
out the fashionista in you! |
