The main keys to wearing sunglasses that fit well
Even if you try on a pair of sunglasses before buying them, you may still have doubts as to whether they fit you properly.
There are indeed many factors involved in choosing sunglasses that fit your face.
Here are the main keys to making sure a pair of sunglasses will fit you well.
Sunglasses that fit snugly but not too tightly
As with a pair of prescription glasses, sunglasses need to fit snugly without being too tight.
To achieve this, the arms should be held firmly behind the ears to keep the pair securely in place on the face.
They should not, however, exert too much pressure on the temples, which could make them uncomfortable.
The same goes for the sunglasses nose bridge, which should mould to the arch of the nose without pressing too hard on it.
This balance between snug fit and tightness is the key to comfortable sunglasses.
Sunglasses that don't cover the face
Sunglasses come in all shapes and sizes.
Many people like imposing pairs with wide frames for their original, strong character.
However, it is essential to ensure that the pair of sunglasses does not completely obstruct the face.
In fact, by covering too much of the face, sunglasses run the risk of obscuring the face and giving it a bad look.
A reasonably sized sunglasses frame will have its top part under the arch of the eyebrow and end at the top of the cheekbones.
To achieve the right effect, the pair of sunglasses must indeed create a harmonious balance with the rest of the face.
A sunglasses frame that matches your features
To fit properly, a pair of sunglasses must be adapted to the shape of your face.
Someone with a round face will not choose the same shape of frame as someone with a square face.
Opticians can determine your precise facial morphology and tell you which sunglass frames are best suited to it.
What's more, whatever shape of sunglasses frame you choose, it will have to comply with a few basic rules.
The upper part of the lens should follow the line of the eyebrows without covering them.
Similarly, the central part of the lens should be well aligned with the eyes, especially for sunglasses with corrective lenses.
The colour of the frame should also be chosen according to skin tone and hair colour.
Don't hesitate to ask your Optical Center optician for advice on whether a pair of sunglasses is right for you.
