The lenses are the most important part of your eyeglasses because they improve your sight and allow you to see the world better. Having the proper lenses can clear up blurred vision caused by age, computer use, and conditions such as astigmatism.

Optical frames play an important role, too, because they hold your corrective lenses in place, but they’re more than just lens-holders. The right optical frames give you an opportunity to express your personal style and have some fun!

Whitson Vision, a leading eye care center based in Indianapolis and Avon, Indiana, offers a full range of optical frame styles, from classics to the latest trends. If you’re choosing new frames, be sure to keep these five things in mind while you consider your options.

1. Your style

Think of eyeglasses as a way to show the world what drives your style. Are you a traditionalist who loves classic styles? Are you obsessed with the latest trends? No matter where you fall on the style spectrum, Whitson Vision has optical frames to suit you.

2. Your personality

Optical frames are a fun way to express your personality. One pair can display a sense of fun and adventure; another can project an image of seriousness. Choose one pair of frames that best reflects your true personality, or select a wardrobe of optical frames that allow you to decide each morning which personality vibes you want to send out to the world that day.

3. The shape and size of your face

Although you should let your taste guide you, conventional wisdom holds that different types of eyeglasses tend to work best with certain face shapes. For example:

Oval face

If you have an oval face, you’re likely to look best in frames that are as least as wide as, or wider than, the broadest part of your face. Narrow frames may not look as good on you as wider frames.

Heart-shaped face

A heart-shaped face is wider at the forehead and narrower at the chin. For your valentine face, consider frames that are wider at the bottom to help balance the dimensions of your face.

Round face

A round face tends to look best with frames that are narrow or angular, because they allow your face to appear thinner and longer.

Square face

If your face is square or angular, choosing rounder, softer frames can balance out the angles of your face.

Small face

If your face is especially small, consider smaller frames. Try children’s frames if adult frames are all too big.

Remember: You don’t necessarily have to follow these guidelines. If you try on frames that look great, they’re right for you whether or not they adhere to conventional wisdom.

4. The color of your hair and skin

Stylists classify hair and skin tones as “cool” or “warm.”

Cool hair tones include blond, blue-black, red/auburn, and some shades of gray, such as a mix of gray and white. Warm hair tones include golden blond, golden brown, brownish black, and brownish grays.

Cool skin tones have a pink or blue undertone. Warm skin tones have a yellow or bronze undertone.

If your hair and skin tend toward cool tones, try frames that are black, silver, rosy brown, blue-gray, shades of purple, or darker tortoise.

If your hair and skin tend toward warm tones, consider optical frames in shades of copper, peach, red, warm blue, or light tortoise.

And if you have a mix of both, try on a range of frames and see what looks best. Remember, these are only guidelines.

5. Type of lenses

Your prescription and the weight and thickness of the lens you choose might make certain types of frames more practical for you.

Our knowledgeable team at Whitson Vision can help you choose your perfect optical frames and lenses, and our doctors can diagnose and treat a full range of eye conditions. To make an appointment, call our office or use the convenient online booking feature.

If this is your first pair of glasses, ask the eye care professional to explain in detail the different types of lenses. For higher powers, high-index materials may be the best solution for you to minimize the weight and thickness of the lenses.
When the lenses have been determined using the trial frame in the refraction room, you should take the time, particularly if you are buying glasses for the first time, to look through the selected lenses for a while, to walk through the room wearing them, and perhaps to read a text at a normal reading distance.

Lens enhancements such as anti-reflective coatings, hard coatings, Clean Coat to make cleaning easier, etc. are also important considerations. Your eye doctor will be happy to explain the options to you. When you intend to use your eyeglasses - for everyday wear, as a spare pair of glasses or only for specific occasions - is particularly important. Eyeglass lens coatings can play a very special role, for example if you are often blinded by the sun or by the headlights of oncoming traffic. Maybe eyeglasses with self-tinting lenses would be the best solution for you.

If you are already used to wearing eyeglasses, you should take the opportunity to discuss in detail with your eye doctor what you particularly liked about your old glasses and what you felt was not ideal. Small details can be very important in this regard and make seeing with eyeglasses much more relaxed and comfortable. Lens technology and coating options are also enhanced on an onging basis.

Reading glasses are the first pair of eyeglasses for many people. Generally, a distinction is made between two different types: normal reading glasses with conventional frames, and half-frame or half-moon glasses. With the half-frame glasses, you can look through the lenses when you lower your eyes, and see normally when you raise your eyes above the lenses. For both versions, the usual reading distance (i.e., the distance between your eyes and a book or an e-book reader) and the distance between your eyes are important factors in determining the optimum lens powers. It may be helpful to make a few notes at home in everyday situations before your eye examination, e.g.: how far from my face do I hold my mobile or book for reading while I am seated, and how far away when I am lying down? What’s the distance between my eyes and my laptop screen? Did you know, for example, that you hold your smartphone closer to your eyes than a book when you are reading? This valuable information helps your eye doctor to optimize your reading glasses for your vision habits.

A special method is used to manufacture progressive lenses. When grinding the lens surface, various functions are integrated into one and the same lens - for near vision, distance vision and the transitional range. Moreover, a progressive lens should not only facilitate sharply focused vision when you look straight ahead through it, but also when you look to either side or up and down. All these tiny surfaces must be optimally coordinated with each other and meticulously calculated. Thus, your eye doctor can provide many different levels of quality and degrees of customization for you to choose from. Ask your optician to provide you with detailed advice, so that you can get used to your new glasses very quickly and enjoy natural vision.

As a rule, the frames for progressive lenses should not be too small, as this will not provide enough space for the various vision zones. Moreover, the eye doctor should not wait to fit your progressive lenses until you pick them up. Precise centration of the lenses in the new frames is crucial. If the alignment is just a few millimeters off, this can cause neck pain and headaches or prevent you from taking full advantage of the progressive lenses.

As for reading glasses, the distance between the lenses and the object being viewed plays a major role in eyeglasses used at the workplace. In this context, this is called the “working distance.” Thus, before you buy eyeglasses for work, you need to find out the range of viewing distances that you need: how far away from the screen do I normally sit? At what distance do I hold objects in my hand that have to be processed?

And that's not all.  Do you frequently have conferences with colleagues or customers and need to be able to switch your focus easily and comfortably to different viewing ranges? Are lenses made of plastic or glass better for your needs?

Particularly at work, you need to be able to see properly and comfortably and focus quickly at the required viewing distances. Lenses can enable you to do this if you tell your eye doctor exactly what you require. It may be advisable in some cases to use special workplace glasses instead of your everyday glasses.

Where exactly you will wear your new sports glasses plays a central role in the selection of the optimum eyewear: for what type of sports and in what situations will you be wearing your glasses? For example, biking glasses should provide proper UV protection as well as effective protection from the wind, e.g. via the size and curvature of the frames. Glasses with polarizing lenses provide optimal protection against glare and are an excellent solution for constant changes between light and shadow.

To prevent unpleasant surprises, all sports enthusiasts who wear helmets should always bring their helmets with them to the eye doctor. For skiers, on the other hand, having a second pair of glasses to fit underneath ski goggles may be a good alternative to contact lenses. In this case, an anti-static coating is recommended to prevent fogging, or you can have ski goggles made to your prescription or have a clip made to fit over them.
