Choosing the Right Glasses

For people with vision problems, such as low vision, eyeglasses are a great way to help correct vision. If you are in Clarksville and need an annual optometry exam, call us at Sites Vision Clinic and schedule an appointment with our eye doctor.

Color and Shape

When considering eyeglasses choices, the frames' color and shape are the main criteria to use. First, the color of your frames must go well with your appearance, including your hair and skin tone. When choosing eyeglasses, it's essential to try them on, so you can be sure they'll compliment your appearance. Next, you need to select a shape for your frames.

Any shape will work if you have an oval face structure, although certain types look good on specific face structures. For instance, if you have a square face, oval frames may make your face look more curved and oval. On the other hand, a pair of rectangular frames may do this for your face shape if you have a round face.

Size and Design

The design of your frames also dramatically affects how your face looks. For example, many people choose thick frames to offset the look of a prominent chin to balance the face. Of course, having large frames can also do this. Yet, if you have a forehead that you want to de-emphasize, you might choose narrow-fitting glasses that will not call as much attention to that area of your face.
