To find the best frame shape, contrast your frame with your face shape: use angular frames (square/rectangle) for round faces to add definition, and rounded frames (oval/round) to soften square faces. Oval faces are versatile, while heart faces suit frames that balance a wider forehead, typically using aviators or light-colored frames.

Key Steps to Choosing the Right Frame:

Identify Your Face Shape: Look in a mirror and identify if your face is round, square, oval, heart, or diamond. Key areas to look at are the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline.

Contrast is Key:

Round Face: Choose rectangular, square, or geometric frames to add structure.

Square Face: Choose round, oval, or cat-eye frames to soften angles.

Oval Face: Almost any shape works, but geometric or slightly wider-than-face frames offer the best balance.

Heart Face: Choose frames that are wider at the bottom or light-colored to balance a wider forehead and narrow chin.

Diamond Face: Choose cat-eye or oval frames to highlight cheekbones.

Consider Skin Tone and Style: Warm skin tones suit gold, brown, or camel frames, while cool tones look better in black, silver, or blue.

Proportion is Essential: Frames should be slightly wider than the broadest part of your face.

It is not recommended that you adjust your glasses yourself, as excessive force or bending can break the frames or lenses.

Before shipping your glasses to you, we will adjust them based on standard fit. If your glasses do not sit on your face properly and you require further adjustments, we encourage  you to visit our local optical store, we will adjust your glasses free of charge, as courtesy.

• Clean your glasses by using warm water and a mild dish soap.
• Dry your glasses gently with a soft cotton towel or cleaning cloth for eyeglasses.
• A soft toothbrush can be used to wash away any grime around the nose pads. Be careful not to accidently scuff the lens.
• Avoid using rough materials such as facial tissue or paper towels to dry your glasses, as they may scratch your frame or lenses.
• Avoid using any cleaners containing ammonia (such as Windex) or lotions (like some hand soaps), as these products could damage your lenses.

The ideal material for your lenses depends on your prescription.

• Plastic lenses are recommended for light prescriptions, ranging from no correction to +/-1.75.
• Polycarbonate lenses are 30% thinner and lighter than plastic and are recommended for people with prescriptions ranging from +/- 2.00 to +/-4.00. Polycarbonate is also recommended for children under 18 years of age and anyone who has an active lifestyle, due to its impact resistance. Rimless and semi-rimless frames also work best with polycarbonate lenses.

All of our lenses come with a scratch-resistant coating, UV protection, and edge polish at NO additional charge.

• UV Protection is a clear coating that blocks the sun's harmful UV rays from reaching your eyes. UV protection is so important that we automatically include it with your order.
• Duraclear premium Anti-Reflective (AR) coating eliminates the glare on the front and back of your lenses. AR is a must-have on any pair of RX glasses, since it reduces eye strain and has easy to clean (super hydrophobic) properties. Comes with Standard lens option.
• Digital Light Protection is a precision engineered lens coating that can deflect a significant portion of harmful blue/violet light, leaving your eyes fresh, even after a long day at the office in front of a screen. Digital Light Protection also provides scratch resistant and anti-glare properties. Comes with Premium lens option. Harmful blue light: up to 420nm with the greatest toxicity between 400-4420nm, only one contributing factor of retinal aging.

Single-vision means that you are either near sighted or far sighted, but not both (as is the case with people who need bi-focal or progressive lenses). Single-vision is the term used to refer to corrective prescription lenses that do not have multiple viewing zones, like bi-focals and progressives do.

Yes, you can have one pair of glasses for both near and far vision. The most common options are progressive lenses *no line* and bifocals *visible line*, which allows you to see distance, intermediate and near distance without constantly switching glasses, correcting for both   

MYOPIA/ HYPERMETROPIA AND PRESBYOPIA

Bifocal lenses offer two different viewing zones: the top part of the lens is for distance (i.e. to help you see things far away) and the lower part of the lens is for reading (i.e. to help you see things up close). The viewing zones of bifocal lenses are divided by a visible line.

Progressive lenses are essentially no-line bifocals. But instead of offering just two different viewing zones (near and far vision), progressive lenses offer many different focal points by seamlessly transitioning from distance vision to intermediate and near vision and everything in between. Progressive lenses provide much more natural vision and are typically recommended over bifocal lenses.

First-time progressive lens wearers often need a little time to get used to them. Your eye and brain have to learn to adjust to the different corrective powers within the lenses. You may need a week or so to adjust. If you continue to have vision problems after that time, please contact your eye doctor to double-check the prescription. 

If your eye doctor is able to verify that the prescription is accurate, then it may just be a matter of adjusting your glasses so that your frames sit in the correct position on your face.
