Choosing The Right Glasses

When you need eyeglasses for your vision correction, there are countless pairs available that can help you to see better. How do you choose just the right pair of glasses? To make it easier, it is a good idea to pay particular attention to the color of the frames as well as their shape. If you are considering a new pair of glasses and live in or around Bloomfield Hills, contact Barry P. August O.D, P.C. to schedule an appointment. We will answer any questions that you may have and help you find the perfect pair.

Frame Color

The color of your eyeglasses is very important to the way they look when you wear them. The goal is to allow for the color to be a harmonious addition to your face that goes well with your coloring. That includes the color of your hair as well as the color of your face.

To weed out unflattering colors, hold glasses in different colors up to your face and hair to see how well the color goes together. You want the color to go together well without clashing. This will allow you to eliminate several colors to make your choice easier.

Frame Shape

The shape of your glasses is also an important way to narrow down the number of frames available. The shape of your face has a lot to do with the way it is perceived by others, and the shape of your frames will affect the way that shape looks.

You can create more harmony in your face by using your frames to balance your face's shape. If you have a rectangular face, for example, a pair of oval frames can make the face look more curved. Making the face look more ovular is the ultimate goal of choosing a glasses shape.
