How to choose the right eyeglass frame

Keys for choosing the right spectacle frame

Choosing a pair of prescription glasses can be complicated, as the choice of different models is very wide.
While the lenses must correspond to a correction requirement, the frame is more open to choice.
Here are the essential criteria to take into account to make sure you choose the right frame for your glasses.

The comfort provided by the eyeglass frame

The first essential criterion for choosing the right frame is comfort.
After all, eyeglasses can be worn every day, for hours at a time.
It is therefore essential that they are comfortable to wear and do not represent a hindrance or obstacle to daily activities.
To achieve this, the spectacle frame must be as light as possible.
Titanium frames are particularly recommended for their thinness, which makes them almost forgettable.
What's more, spectacle frames must be ergonomic and fit snugly around your face.
This personalised adjustment is carried out by the optician, who must ensure that the pair of glasses becomes one with your face.
However, the frame must not be too tight, as this could cause discomfort.
Ideally, the upper contours of the frame should follow the specific curve of the eyebrows while the lower ones should not touch the cheekbones.
These criteria ensure that the pair of glasses will not be in the way, whatever the movements of the face.

The aesthetic appeal of the spectacle frame

Essential visual equipment, glasses are nonetheless an aesthetic accessory, sometimes worn on a daily basis.
Eyewear frames should thus be chosen also according to personal taste.
The frame model should be selected to work with your everyday style.
The shape and colour of the frame should then match what you like.
What's more, the frame should preferably match your facial morphology to create a beautiful aesthetic effect.
The shape of the frame should be chosen according to the shape of your face to create a balance.
Similarly, to create a harmonious effect, the colour of the frame should match that of your eyes, complexion or hair.
Your Optical Center optician or our website will be able to tell you exactly what shape and shade of frame is best for your specific features.
