How to Choose the Right Eyeglass Frames from Your Eye Doctor in Kissimmee

Choosing eyeglass frames

After getting your vision checked by your eye doctor in Kissimmee and deciding it is time to get new glasses, you will need to pick out some new eyeglass frames. It is a good idea to take your time when making this selection since you will be wearing the prescription eyewear on a regular basis. 

Sometimes, our patients find themselves needing a bit of assistance when it comes to finding the perfect eyeglass frames. This is especially the case for people who are getting eyeglasses for the very first time.

Take your time if you are a newcomer when it comes to picking out eyeglasses. Here are some tips to help guide you through the selection process.

Your Eye Doctor in Kissimmee’s Guide to Eyeglass Frame Selection

It is crucial to take the shape of your face into account. You can categorize people’s faces into the following general types of faces: diamond, heart, oval, round and square. 

Diamond

Try eyeglass frames that are shaped like they are sweeping upward or get frames that are wider than your cheekbones are. Oval frames are a good option, as are cat eyeglasses. Steer clear of frames that are narrow (because they will accentuate your cheeks too much).

Heart

Frame lines that are heavy will make the narrower area of your face appear a bit wider. Look for eyeglass frames that have temples that are lower set. 

If you pick square or round eyeglasses, get them with curved edges to soften the appearance of a higher forehead. In general, avoid frames that have a color or style that calls more attention to your forehead than the other areas of your face.

Oval 

Make sure to select eyeglass frames that have a strong, firm bridge. They need to be somewhat wider than the widest part of your face, ideally. However, do not get oversized frames. If they cover more than 50% of your face, the eyeglass frames will disguise your natural symmetry.

Round

Rectangular and square shaped eyeglass frames are well suited to people who have round faces. You can make it look like your face is a bit narrower than it really is when you use rectangular frames. Stay away from small frames, frames that are rounded and any type of rimless frames.

Square

Look for oval or round eyeglass frames when you have a face with a square shape. These types of frames will help to make your face appear a bit thinner. You will want to avoid frames that are rectangular or square since these tend to sharpen the appearance of your features.
