What Eyeglass Frame Is Right For Me?

It’s great to have choices, and when you come into the optical located next to Dr. Shannon Chandler & Associates, you’ll find the latest eyewear styles from top designers. Whether you’re looking for something simple, serious, smart, or a frame that makes a fashion statement, you'll find a selection that will fit your budget and style!

Of course, the shape of your face will help guide your choice in determining the best fit for you. Here is a simple guide to make the process easy.

First, what’s the shape of your face?

• An oval shape is ideal for most frame styles.
• Angular frames work well on a round face.
• Rounded frames are a good match for a square face.
• Frames that are wider rather than higher are best for a long face.

Then consider a style that fits your personality and style. Do you dress trendy, or casually? Are you looking for a professional appearance, or perhaps a timeless, classic look?

The basics include making sure the frame is proportionate to your face, the bridge sits comfortably on your nose, and temples fit comfortably behind the ears. Factor in your hair and skin tone when selecting a frame color.

The types of lenses will also be factors in your decision. Are you getting single vision glasses, or progressive lenses? Perhaps transition lenses that adjust to changing light conditions?
