Select Your Frames

Frame Recommendations for Different Face Shapes

Every face is unique, and your face needs a pair of eyeglasses that flatters your particular features. The proportions of your face will determine the ideal frame shape for you. Which of the following shapes does your face resemble?

  • Square – If your face has equal length and width with an angular jawline, your frames should be rounded and wide to balance these features; aviators and oversized ovals are flattering options
  • Oval – Long but balanced faces are complemented by frames that follow the brow line, such as diamond or wide rectangle shapes
  • Heart-Shaped – Also known as inverted triangles, heart-shaped faces are characterized by wide foreheads and narrow chins; frames with semi-rims and bottom-heavy shapes are best
  • Round – A perfectly round face is a great candidate for wide, angular frames with sharp corners and more width than depth
  • Triangle – If your forehead is narrow but your chin is broad, cat-eye and butterfly frames will add some width to the top half of your face

Variety of Style, Color, and Rim Options

Different colors and textures appeal to different patients. We do our best to offer a wide variety of frame options, so that we can accommodate your individual tastes and coloring. If you want color in your rims, complement your skin tone and eye color with a shade from a complementary color family. If you have a favorite frame shape, choose between semi-rim and rimless options that create a minimalist illusion.

Find Eyeglasses and Sunglasses that Fit

Corrective eyewear should improve, not interfere with, your daily tasks and responsibilities. Your eyeglasses should sit firmly on your face without the need for adjustment. If they are slightly too big and the nose piece slides down, you need a more narrow pair. The shape of your frames and thickness of your lenses may also affect the ideal size for your face. At Wichita Optometry, we make sure your custom lenses are fitted into frames that will stay in place.
