Choosing the Right Glasses

Choosing the perfect eyeglasses for your face can be a daunting task, but there are a few ways that you can make the choice easier. When you have your eye exam from an optometrist, you will have a new prescription for your brand-new glasses. From there, opticians can work with you to find the perfect frames for your aesthetic and daily needs. Call our Longmont, CO, optometrist office to make an appointment for your eye exam for a new pair of glasses.

Choosing a Color

The color of the frames you choose should be chosen according to which color looks best with your hair and skin colors. There will be some colors that clash with your coloring and are to be avoided. It's helpful to hold a few different colors up to your skin and hair to make sure there is no clashing. Try several colors to find the one that goes well with your coloring.

Choosing a Shape

Another important factor in the frames you choose is the shape of the frames. Some frames are round, square, ovular, triangular, rectangular, etc. The right shape for you depends on the overall shape of your face. The goal is to take your face's shape and use your frames to make it look more oval-shaped. The right shape can do this for you if you choose carefully. For example, if your face is round, having frames shaped like rectangles or ovals can help make your face look a little longer and more like an oval. It's helpful to identify a few shapes and try them on to see how they affect your face's shape before choosing your frames.
