Choose The Right Eyeglasses For Your Face Type:
The basic rule in choosing a frame type for your eyeglasses is to first determine your face shape, then go with a pair of frames that are the opposite of that frame type. So, if your face type is oval, go with a rectangular lense, or vise versa. How do you know what face type you are? Here's a simple way to find out: simply stand in front of a mirror, and use lipstick to draw the outline of the front of your face. Then before investing in a pair of eyeglasses, compare it to the images below to determine the right eyeglass frames for you!
