How to Pick the Right Frame for Your Face

If you recently have been told by an eye doctor that you need glasses, take some time to decide on which eyeglasses are truly right for you. An eye exam will help you to determine if you need glasses, but many people need to take the time to determine which type of frames are right for their face. We at Middletown Eye Care in Middletown, DE, and New Castle, DE, know a lot about how to pick the right eyeglasses frame for your face. While you may want to bring a relative or close friend along to help you decide, consider these tips as you start trying on frames after an eye exam.

1. Listen to your eyeglasses technician: These technicians have spent a long time fitting people for glasses. They'll know what type of frames will work best for your face and give you a lot of helpful advice to make sure your glasses fit well.

2. Get eyeglasses that fit: If you need extra-long earpieces or larger lenses, don't consider frames that don't have these features. Take the time to find a pair of eyeglasses that looks good and feels good. After all, you may be wearing them often from now on.

3. If you're just getting one pair, pick a neutral frame: Wire frames and so-called invisible frames can be good choices. If you really want a color, pick a light brown or grey. A neutral-toned pair of glasses will match just about every outfit you have and won't draw a lot of attention.

4. If you own multiple pairs of glasses, get a bold color: If you wear your eyeglasses all the time, it may make sense to own several pairs so that you can match with your outfits. A bold or unusual color can be a lot of fun.
