TIPS FOR CHOOSING PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES

Choosing the right type of prescription eyeglasses is important, as you’re going to be wearing them all the time. While there’s not a one-size-fits-all option, check out the following section for some tips on picking out frames the next time you’re at the eye doctor.

Understand Your Face Shape:

Different frame styles complement different face shapes. For example, round faces may benefit from angular frames, while square faces may look better with round or oval frames. While looking at frames, consider your face shape and find a pair of frames that highlights your features.

Consider Your Lifestyle:

Think about your day-to-day life. If you’re an active person who works out a lot and is always on the go, you may want to pick something more durable. For those in an office setting, choose something that’s more professional-looking.

Frame Material:

Frames come in various materials like plastic, metal, and titanium. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages regarding durability, weight, and style. Choose a frame with a material that’s not only stylish but comfortable to wear, as heavier frames are not for everyone.

Try Before You Buy:

It’s always important to “try before you buy” when it comes to prescription glasses. Pick out different styles and shapes to try on and see what looks best on you. Pay attention to how the frames feel on your face and whether they fit comfortably.

Consider Lens Options:

Depending on your prescription and lifestyle, you may need special lens features such as anti-glare coating, transition lenses, blue light lens coating, or high-index lenses. Discuss your options with your eye doctor.

Take Your Time:

Don't rush the decision-making process. Take your time to explore different options and consider all factors before making a final decision.

Ask for Feedback:

If you're having trouble deciding, ask for feedback from friends, family members, or the optician. Sometimes an outside perspective can help you decide which pair of frames is right for you!
