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.

For oval faces, all eye glasses frames will flatter your face because you have the perfect face shape. Get either geometric or rounded frames depending on your preference.

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.

6
For oblong faces, try an oval pair to emphasize the width of your face.

Match the color of your frames with your skin tone. Warm skin colors should be matched with warm frame colors and cold skin colors should be matched with cold frame colors.

The size of eye glasses frames is important as well. Eye glasses should match well with the size of your face.

Personally, I prefer metal frames because eyeglasses are a form of functional jewellery. Metal frames usually look sophisticated long term, rarely going out of style as quickly as plastic, and cost far less over a longer period of time. 3*
