If you wear glasses, you will need to update your prescription every one to three years. It can be hard to know how to pick out the right glasses. However, there are a few ways that you can make your choice a lot easier. You can narrow your choices down to a handful of frames when you know what to look for. If you are looking for the right glasses for your daily and aesthetic needs, our team at MacQueen Eye Care Center in Chicago is here to help. Our optometrists can update your prescription while our optical team helps you find the best frames for you.

The Shape of the Frames

One of the most important factors in your choice should be the shape of the frames. There are square frames as well as ones that are round, ovular, and other shapes. These shapes will greatly affect the way your face looks overall. The shape of the frames should make your face look like it's oval-shaped. This can be done by carefully choosing a shape that goes well with the shape of your face. For example, if your face has sharp angles, choosing a more rounded shape can help the face look more ovular. If your face is round, a rectangular shape can help elongate it.

The Color of the Frames

The color of them will also significantly affect your overall look. It's important to find a frame color that doesn't clash with your hair or face. Hold a few colors up to both your face and hair to ensure that they go well with them. This will help you eliminate several colors that just don't look good with your coloring. Narrowing down both the color and shape of the frames you want can make it far easier to choose the right pair.
