If you require glasses to see, then you need an eyeglass prescription before purchasing glasses online. Your prescription can change from year to year, so it’s important to get a yearly comprehensive eye exam from a licensed Optometrist. Can’t remember the last time you had an eye exam? You’re probably overdue.

Obviously, having clear vision is a priority. However, just as important is choosing frames that you feel comfortable and stylish in too. Your face is unique, so the frames you choose have the ability to make you look younger, make your face look slimmer, and accentuate your beautiful/handsome facial features. Whether you are wearing glasses to see or for just an accessory, choose glasses that reflect who you are!

Usually face shapes can be divided into one of these six categories: round, oval, heart, square, triangle, and diamond. ~Faces with a diamond shape can have acute jawlines, pronounced cheekbones, and narrower foreheads. A rimless or oval frame with a prominent browline works well for this shape. These forms will balance your face and draw attention to your best features. ~Heart-shaped faces have high cheekbones, a narrow chin, and are widest at the forehead. They look awesome in winged-out frames that flare out just a little bit broader than their foreheads and frames with rounded bases bring balance. Cat Eye is where it's at! ~Oval faces have higher, slightly wider cheekbones that gradually become narrower toward the forehead. You can rock any style with this long, rounded face shape. You can go Big, Bold and Beautiful! ~Round faces nearly have the same width from the jaw up through the brow, with delicate curves and smooth lines. So choosing frames that add angles, compliment the curves of this face shape. ~Square faces can wear many different types of eyeglass shapes, because of their strong angular features and straight lines. To soften and contrast angular features you can wear round or oval eyeglass frames. ~Triangle faces feature wide, square jawlines. They work well with wider frames, with lots of color and detail.

There are different lens type options that you can choose that go best with your lifestyle. If you're an active person Polycarbonate lenses are a good option because they are shatter-resistant. Polarized lenses are good if you spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun, as they protect your eyes from the sun’s glare. If you’re always working in front of the computer, Bluelight Blocking helps to prevent eye strain. There are lots of options when it comes to lenses, but when you are unsure, ask an expert for recommendations.

Do your research! Look for trustworthy companies specializing in prescription glasses. Look for companies that give you different options to not only fill your vision needs, but also your style needs. Buying online is not like going to a brick-and-mortar Optical store, but it can be even more convenient, easy, and rewarding.
