By choosing the right eye glass frames for your prescription glasses will really change your appearance for the better. However, selecting comfortable eyeglasses are more important than looking good. LensCrafers have a wide selection of frames from a lot of designers. I personally like Prada eyeglasses because its rectangular eyeglasses fit my face well.

Determine your face shape if you don't already know it. Basic face shapes are: oval, oblong, square, round and diamond.

For round faces, you want to choose a rectangular frame to vertically lengthen your face.

For square and diamond shaped faces, try an oval or cat-eye frame to balance out sharp edges.
