Round prescription glasses

All about round prescription glasses

First ever developed, round prescription glasses have stood the test of time and remain an everlasting classic.
This eyeglass frame shape is popular amongst both men and women for its distinctive style.
Here's what you need to know about round prescription glasses and who they're suitable for.

History and style

The first shape designed for spectacles, the round form was for a long time the only one available.
In fact, it remained the accepted shape for frames for years before other models appeared.
Round glasses have a long history, with periods of decline and resurgence in popularity.
Personalities such as John Lennon and iconic characters such as Harry Potter have contributed to their success.
Round prescription glasses are one of those timeless models that have stood the test of time.
The reason for their popularity is their multifaceted appearance, a blend of sophistication and originality.
In fact, a person who wears circular glasses can have a classic style or a daring one, depending on the frame they choose.
Thus, a thin round metal frame will give you a serious look, while a colourful round frame will make you stand out from the crowd.
Whichever model you choose, round-framed glasses always offer a unique style.

Who should wear round prescription glasses?

There are two main criteria for deciding whether round eyeglasses are right for you.
The two main parameters to consider are facial morphology and personality.
Round or circle prescription glasses are particularly suitable for square or rectangular faces.
In fact, their rounded curves break up the straight, rigid features of these face types.
However, people with oval faces can also wear round prescription glasses, as this type of face adapts to any frame shape.
On the other hand, circle eyeglasses are not recommended for round faces, although they can still be worn to give a youthful and assertive look.
What's more, the rounded shape of these prescription glasses will often appeal to artistic or strong personalities.
Indeed, wide, colourful round frames add boldness, creativity and energy.
Before making your choice, seek advice from your Optical Center optician on whether round prescription glasses are right for you.
