Selecting new eyeglass frames involves more than simply following trends. The best frames offer a blend of aesthetics, comfort, and optical performance that supports your lifestyle. At Lake Lanier Eye Care, we guide our patients through each step of the selection process, ensuring you find a pair that enhances both your vision and your appearance.
Your eyeglass prescription plays a significant role in frame selection. Stronger prescriptions, for example, may require sturdier frames or smaller lens sizes to reduce lens thickness and weight. If you have a multifocal or progressive lens prescription, you’ll need frames with enough vertical space to accommodate multiple viewing zones. It’s important to start with a comprehensive eye exam to ensure your prescription is current. Always bring your latest prescription with you and consult with our optometrist for personalized recommendations.
Certain frame shapes complement specific face shapes, helping you achieve a balanced and flattering look:
• Round Faces: Rectangular or square frames add definition and create a slimming effect.
• Square Faces: Round or oval frames soften strong jawlines.
• Oval Faces: Most frame styles work well, so feel free to explore different looks.
• Heart-Shaped Faces: Bottom-heavy frames or rimless designs balance a wider forehead.
Our experienced staff can help you find a shape that enhances your natural features while fitting your personal style.
Even the most stylish frames won’t serve you well if they’re uncomfortable. It’s important to choose glasses that fit properly, resting comfortably on your nose and ears without pinching or slipping out of place. A secure, well-balanced fit helps ensure you can wear your glasses all day without irritation.
Weight is another key factor in comfort. Frames made from lightweight materials, such as titanium or acetate, can provide the durability you need without feeling heavy on your face. This makes them a great option for everyday wear, especially if you’ll be using your glasses for long stretches at a time.
Our team provides precise adjustments so your frames sit comfortably and securely on your face. We’re here to help you achieve a custom fit so you can enjoy clear vision and comfort from the moment you put on your new frames.
Are you active or involved in sports? Do you work long hours at a computer? Choose frames that fit your lifestyle. Flexible, impact-resistant frames are great for children or active adults. Blue light-blocking lenses and lightweight frames can make a big difference for those using digital devices throughout the day.
Eyewear is a reflection of your personality. Whether you prefer classic, trendy, bold, or subtle styles, there are frames to match your unique look. At Lake Lanier Eye Care, we carry a wide selection of high-quality and designer frames, offering options for every taste and occasion.
Choosing the right frames is about more than just looks - it’s about balancing style, comfort, and vision for a pair you’ll love to wear every day. Our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure you find the perfect fit.
