The best eyeglasses for your face shape
09-01-2014 06:07 AM
The best thing is to take a friend that will actually give you advice. My eye doctor's assistants are so awesome - they love to do this and will help you as long as it takes. I always bring them coffee

I have easier advice. Go to Lenscrafters, try on eyeglasses till you find the ones that look the best, walla! you are done!

Some people actually don't have a friend or family member that they can take along. Plus, not every opthalmologist/optometrist/optician has "awesome" assistants.
And since some people can't even get to a B & M eyewear store, online vendors like "Warby Parker' (the original, who also have B&M locations) have a terrific "Home Try-On" service.
This is also great for those who would rather have the convenience & privacy of trying on eyeglasses at home.
And then they can even send photos to people whose opinion they respect, if they wish.
Nice of you to bring 'your helpers' coffee. 8-)

Some people prefer to DIY, though.
And there are plenty who've always wanted to know what they're face shape is.
It helps to know your face shape and which frames to check out before you go to a B&M eyewear store.
That way, you won't spend an hour or longer trying on tons of frames.

I agree with sun8shine. Having someone there with you to give an HONEST opinion is best!.
I have been going to the same place for my eye care for 15 years. The girls there are like family to me, and have never steered me wrong.
I am creature of habit and have had the same style of frames (rectangle) for years. Last year I found my rectangle frames in Olive Green metal... loved them!.
This year I went out of my comfort zone and tried different shape, little smaller in size than the photo above, but still in the olive green color. Have had nothing but compliments on them!.
Once in a while I stop in to get them cleaned and drop off Bigby coffee for the crew ... a little "just because". All is good!
You should never immediately assume that others are just like yourself, or like those whom you know.
There are many of us who don't have a "someone"... or pretty much anyone for that matter.
Which is why HTO orders are great, as we can sometimes even e-mail pics of ourselves in possible frames to WP's staff.
Great to hear you jumped 'out of your box' this time as far as frame shapes go. I did too, and in the frame color as well. 8)
