Choosing The Right Glasses

When it's time for you to get new glasses, you may have a lot of questions about which ones to buy. With so many choices available, it may seem overwhelming. However, you can make it much easier by using a couple of key criteria when you're choosing your pair. To schedule an appointment with one of our optometrists in Charlotte, call Eye Care Center-Ballantyne today.

One great way to start your search for the right glasses is to look for the perfect color. Instead of simply choosing frames because they're your favorite color, evaluate each color to see how it really looks on you. The color should complement your hair and skin. Hold the frames up to both so that you can see whether the colors clash or complement your skin and hair colors. You can eliminate a number of frame colors by doing this. Then, make a shortlist to find just the right color for you.

Choose the Best Shape

Another criterion to use is to go through the various shapes of frames the same way you did with the colors. Even if a shape looks good on the shelf, it might not be the right shape for you. Try on different shapes and see what they do for the shape of your face. They should work to create more of an oval shape to your face.

If you have a rectangular face, for instance, a pair of round frames might be the best shape for you. Work with the shape of your face to find the frame shape that will look best on you. Once you have narrowed your frame choices down by color and shape, it will be far easier to find just the right pair for you.
