Choosing the Right Frame

If you have come to a decision to wear eyeglasses to help your vision, or maybe if you already wear eyeglasses but are looking for a new style frame, the most important thing to know is choosing the right frame that fit nicely with your face. There are lots of frame styles in the market, but you should choose carefully if you want your appearance with your new eyeglasses to look impressive, the principle of choosing the right frame is that try to choose the opposite shape than your face. Here are some tips that can help you to decide which frame that should fit nicely with your face:

1. If you have a round face try a rectangular shape frames, this will soften the roundness of your face and make your face look thinner and longer.
2. If you have a square face try a narrow frame styles, frames that have more width than depth and narrow ovals. This will make the square face look longer and soften the angles.
3. If your have a triangle shape face try cat-eye shape frame or frames that are heavily accented with color and detailing on the top half, as this will emphasize the upper part of your face.
4. If you have a wide jaw line face try frames that have a top-to-bottom depth, decorative or contrasting temples that add width to the face or a low bridge.
5. If you have oval face then you can fit in just about any frame, however the best frame for you is that frames that are wide as the broadest part of the face.

Other important thing in choosing frames style is to consider frame materials. Basically there are Aluminum, titanium, and plastic frames. Aluminum and Titanium are more durable than the plastic frames and offers custom fitting options. Plastic frames are light and durable but offer little fitting options.
