Wearing glasses can be more than just vision correction. Glasses can be a fashion statement as well as a way to balance your facial features. If you need glasses or think you might, we can help. At SoCal Optometry in Riverside, CA, we will help you choose the right eyeglasses.

Examining Face Shape

It can be hard to pick out the best glasses for your face. Sometimes, you may like a pair of frames without quite knowing why. The answer is often in the shape of your face. There are a variety of face shapes people can have, including, oval, square, round, diamond, heart, and more. The key with eyeglasses is to get frames that will balance out your face shape. If your face is round, getting square or oval frames can lengthen your face. If you have a square face, choosing curved frames will soften the angles of your face.

Balancing Features

It's also important to get eyeglasses that will help to balance your facial features. If you have a wide chin, getting wide eyeglass frames can help to create balance on your face. If your forehead is wide, getting narrower frames can complement your face. Take note of what your most prominent features are and you will see how to balance them with the frames you choose.

Adding Color

The color of your frames is also an important part of the way they look. The color should coordinate well with both your skin tone and your hair color. Hold the frames against both your skin and hair to get a feel for how well the colors go together.
