How to Choose the Right Eyeglasses to Buy
I bought eyeglasses to ease eye strain and itchiness. I also get headache and experience eye pain from time to time. These are the symptoms of computer vision syndrome (CVS) - a relatively new condition and brought about by excessive computer use.
At any rate, there are some things to remember when buying eyeglasses. Firstly, keep in mind that the frame must enhance the features and shape of your face. Therefore, determine the shape of your face before trying on a pair of eyeglasses.
Here’s a guide to find the eyeglasses that will suit you face shape
The oval face
Many call this the ideal shape. The jaw is as wide as the forehead. The chin is round and the cheekbones are usually high. You can try on all styles, but keep the oval’s natural balance with frames proportion to or a bit wider than the broadest part of the face.
The round face
Your face has the same proportions for both width and length. It is shorter and wider than oval. To make a round face appear thinner and longer, try angular, narrow eyeglasses, a clear bridge, and frames that are wider than they are deep, such as the rectangular shape.
The oblong face
This shape is longer than it is wide, has a long, straight cheek line, and sometimes a longer nose. To make the face appear shorter, consider frames that are either curved or rounded to emphasize the width rather than the depth of your face.
The square face
Characterized by a strong jaw line and a broad forehead(width and length in proportion), the square face can look longer and softer with narrow frames. You can also try rounded, cat-eyed, or oval styles.
The diamond face
The rarest, this type is narrow at the eye line and jaw line, with cheekbones high and dramatic. If you want to bring out your eyes and cheekbones, check out frames that have distinctive brow lines, or try the rimless, oval, or cat-eye shapes.
The rectangular face
To make your face look shorter, wear frames that are either curved or rounded with the same width as your face, and have deep lenses.
The triangular face
A base-down triangular face has a narrow forehead that widens at the cheek and chin areas. Add with and emphasize the narrow upper third of the face with frames heavily accented with color and detailing, or with cat-eye shapes. A based-up triangle has a very wide top third and small bottom third. Minimize top width with frames that are wider at the bottom, have very light colors and materials, and have rimless frame styles. Aviators can add width to the lower part of the face.
