It comes as no surprise that prescription glasses have gradually become more than a medical tool. Countless actors and actresses and cultural icons have used different designs and styles to create individualistic fashion statements which have grabbed the attention of millions. Now – a – days, various retail and online stores offer a diverse collection of prescription glasses, covering over a wide range of styles and colours.
The preferred choice of purchasing prescription glasses is to look for them online. With the rising growth of online glasses stores, the options for buyers have increased tenfold. The huge collection and catalogue, though it offers the widest choices, makes the process of choosing confusing. It will be wise to remember that not all designs suit all the face types. There are generally six kinds of face structures and a knowledge of which face type, will help you to narrow down your choice, ensuring saving in time and energy.
If you have a round face, then the curve lines of your face have the same length and width proportions and no angles. To make your face look slender, you should try angular and narrow eyeglass frames.
Considered to be the ideal shape, ‘oval’ has balanced proportions. To complement this face structure, the frames of the prescription glasses should be wider than the broadest part of the face. One can also try walnut-shaped frames which are not too deep or narrow.
An oblong face is longer than it is wide, with a long cheek line. Buyers with this face structure should look for eyeglass frames with more depth than width. On the other hand, a base-down triangular face with narrow forehead and wide cheek and chin areas, requires frames with a heavy touch of colours or detailing on the top-half.
Considered the rarest face shape, they are narrow at the eye and jaw lines while having broad cheekbones. To highlight the eyes and soften the cheekbones, try frames that have detailing or distinctive brow lines, or try rimless frames or oval and cat-eye shapes.
A strong jaw line and a broad forehead define a ‘square’ face structure. The width and the length are almost in the same proportions. For this face type, one should opt for narrow frame styles with more width than depth.
Once you know which design of glasses suits you, you will be able to drastically reduce your search time. Most online glasses stores have separate sections for different types, leading to a smarter purchase.
