| Choosing a frame to compliment your face. |
Choose a frame based not just on style but also on the size, width,
and shape of your face. Although reading glasses magnify evenly
and clearly across the entire lens surface, you’ll still want your eyes
to line up with the optical centers. That's why choosing a frame that
fits your face is important.
Here are the four basic face shapes and our suggestions for frame
styles:
OVAL FRAME SUGGESTIONS: WOMEN
MEN
Most frame shapes look good on an oval face as
long as they are appropriately sized. |
 
|
SQUARE FRAME SUGGESTIONS: WOMEN
MEN
A frame that’s angular or curved on top and/or
bottom will deemphasize a square jaw line |
 
|
 HEART SHAPED FRAME SUGGESTIONS: WOMEN
MEN
Your best choices are frames with thin rims and
vertical lines. Cat-eye styles flatter the female
heart or triangle shaped face. Rectangular
shapes work well for men. Avoid square shapes.
|
 
|
ROUND FRAME SUGGESTIONS: WOMEN
MEN
Choose frames that feature geometric shapes,
including rectangles, rather than styles with
perfectly square or round shapes. Dark colors
deemphasize roundness.
