How Do You Pick Frames For Glasses?
Gone are the days of the pinched-frame kitty glasses. Today, eyewear can be just as much a fashion statement as a scarf, tie or purse. A trip to any nearby glasses-in-about-an-hour type place offers you a wide variety of colors and frame shapes to choose from. The problem for most eye glass wearers is to narrow down which pair or pairs look best. To help with this task, the Vision Council of America offers the following guidelines for people buying glasses. Thin out a round face by choosing glasses with narrow, angular frames. The round face appears to have the same proportions regardless of how it’s measured. Rectangular glasses are a good fit for this face type. Don’t mess with perfection when searching for glasses for the oval face. Because of its proportions are all balanced, this face shape is considered to be just the right shape. Frames should be as wide or a little wider than this face at its broadest point. Shorten an oblong face by choosing glasses with more depth than width.
