How To Choose The Right Glasses For You 

• Examine the pair of glasses that you have 

If you already own a pair (or two) of glasses, you should start by examining and seeing which features attracted them to you. Is it the shape or colour of the frames? Do you prefer tinted or clear glasses? That way, you will know what details to look out for in your next pair of glasses. Even if you are looking to try a new style of glasses, your current pair of glasses can still act as a good reference point. 

If you currently do not own a pair of glasses, you can skip this step. 

• Determine your current lifestyle needs

Just like clothes, there is a pair of glasses for every activity. If you are someone who spends a lot of time on the computer, you may want to invest in a pair of computer glasses that filters out the blue light of digital screens so as to ensure more protection for your eyes. Wearing sunglasses with tinted lenses can help to reduce the glare of sunlight on the eyes for those who spend a lot of time in the sun. Not to mention that you'll need a proper pair of glasses to fix vision problems like myopia or presbyopia.

• Choose glasses that compliment your face shape

Unsure of your face shape? You can take this quiz to find out. Once you have done so, you can refer to the following points to see what type of frames suit your face:

• Round faces look good with rectangular frames that balance out the softness of their features. 
• Square and heart-shaped faces can benefit from round and oval glasses respectively as they add some much-needed softness to the sharp contours of their faces. 
• Oval faces, which have harmonious features, look good in nearly every type of frame. They just need to avoid wearing thin frames as it can make the face appear longer.

 

 

• Don’t forget about colour 

Finding a pair of glasses that matches the undertones of your skin is a little-known trick that can help you find the perfect pair of glasses for you.
