Selecting lenses that correct your vision, reduce glare, and feel light on your face can make a big difference in how satisfied you are with your new eyeglasses. You may spend time picking out frames that look great, but be sure to consider the different types of lenses that are available as well. With today’s digital technology, there are several options to choose from, including:
You can also add anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare, reflections, and the appearance of halos around lights, and many lenses are scratch-resistant as well. The knowledgeable team at Whitson Vision advises you on which lenses are best for your prescription, lifestyle, and other factors to keep your eyes safe and help you see as clearly as possible.
Selecting frames that look good and are comfortable to wear are essential when getting new glasses. The shape of your face, skin tone, and personal style affect which frames look best on you. For some general guidelines for picking suitable frames that complement your facial features, first consider your face shape and how it relates to your new glasses.
If you have an oval face, you have balanced proportions. To maintain that balance, choose eyeglass frames that are at least as wide, or wider, than the broadest part of your face. Stay away from frames that are too narrow.
If you have a heart-shaped face, it’s wider at the top and narrower at your chin. Frames that are wider at the bottom can help balance your appearance. Thin, light-colored frames may also be a good choice.
For an oblong face, meaning it’s longer than it is wide, balance your features with frames that have more depth than width. And, for a round face, choosing narrow or angular frames may help your face appear longer and thinner. Square or angular face shapes look best with softer, rounder frames.
Take into consideration the color of your hair, skin, and the frame color to find the perfect eyeglasses for your individual style.
Once you’ve had a complete eye exam at Whitson Vision, you can visit the optical department with your prescription to select new glasses. The type of lenses you choose, along with special coatings, influences the time it takes to have them made. The optical department stocks over 1,800 frames and the team advises you when to expect your new glasses to be ready.
