Finding a frame to match your face

Eyesight differs between everyone. Some people are able to see well from birth and never require any help. Others need glasses or contacts to better perceive all that lies around them. Our job is to assist those who find themselves in need of help. We do this by providing them with everything they need, from tests and fittings to the most fashionable designer glasses Kendal has to offer. Designed to match the latest trends, ours are the frames to invest in.

Ideally, your glasses must highlight your face’s colouring and shape. Not only should they fit well enough to be comfortable; for peerless vision, frames also need to permit you to glimpse everything through your lenses at the optical pivot. Saying this, here are some of the things to consider.

Round faces come with curvy lines. The length and width possess identical proportions and there are no angles present. If you’re aiming to make a round face look longer and thinner, go for frames that are wider as opposed to deeper, angular narrow frames that elongate your face, and a clear bridge to broaden your eyes.

For an oval face, you’ll want to preserve its standard balance. Seek out frames with a width equalling your face’s broadest section. Alternatively, choose a walnut-shaped frame that isn’t overly narrow or deep.

Oblong faces have more length than they do width plus a long, straight cheek line. Anyone who desires to make their face seem balanced and shorter should purchase frames that focus on depth rather than width.

At Spurrett Optometry, our collection of frames allows us to meet the specifications of each customer that visits us. Whatever the shape of your face, we will go through all the available options with you until we find a suitable match. We work hard to ensure we offer the best selection of designer glasses Kendal has to offer, carefully picking which brands to work with.

If you ever find yourself needing new glasses, we hope you’ll consider contacting us.
