How to Choose the Perfect Eyewear: Tips from Our Passionate Opticians

At Brandon Eyes, our experienced and passionate team is here to help you find frames that not only fit comfortably but also make you feel confident every time you put them on. Whether you’re a first-time eyeglass wearer or simply ready for a new look, here are some helpful tips from our team to guide you in choosing the perfect eyewear.

Consider Your Face Shape

Your face shape plays a key role in selecting frames that suit you best. For example, round faces typically look great in rectangular or square frames that add definition and structure. Square faces are often complemented by round or oval frames, which help to soften strong jawlines and angular features. Oval faces are quite versatile and can pull off a wide variety of frame styles, while heart-shaped faces tend to benefit from bottom-heavy frames that balance a wider forehead and narrower chin.

Think About Your Lifestyle

Your daily routine should directly influence the type of eyewear you choose. If you’re constantly on the go or live an active lifestyle, durable and lightweight frame materials are a must. If you spend long hours in front of screens, blue-light blocking lenses can reduce digital eye strain and improve comfort. For those who need both near and distance vision correction, progressive lenses offer a seamless and convenient solution. We take the time to learn about your lifestyle so we can recommend eyewear that fits your day-to-day needs.

Choose the Right Lens Options

Lenses aren’t one-size-fits-all. There are a variety of enhancements that can improve both your vision and comfort. Anti-reflective coatings help reduce glare and improve clarity, especially in bright or nighttime settings. Photochromic lenses adjust automatically to changing light conditions, providing built-in UV protection. For individuals with stronger prescriptions, high-index lenses offer a thinner and lighter option without compromising performance. We will walk you through these options so you can make the best choice for your vision and lifestyle.

Match Your Style

Your eyewear should reflect your personal style, whether classic, bold, modern, or minimal. We carry a wide variety of frame styles, colors, and designer brands, so you can find something that fits your aesthetic. Our opticians love helping patients explore their unique style preferences and find eyewear that feels just right - both fashionably and functionally.

Get the Right Fit

Ill-fitting glasses can cause discomfort, headaches, and constant readjustment. Our team ensures that your frames sit properly on your nose and ears, and we make adjustments as needed for maximum comfort and stability. We take precise measurements to ensure a secure and flattering fit, so you can wear your glasses with confidence all day long.
