What should I consider when buying reading glasses

Face Shapes:::::::: Oval (round) , Square, Heart, and Long:::::::::::::::::








When purchasing frames for your face these three keys are essential for a good look.
  • Purchase frames which are different than the structure of your face.
  • Purchase frames than are in scale with your face. Unless your going for that look.
  • Purchase frames that reflect your personality or face features.(e.g. red highlights red frames, serious personality rectangular frames).

Long Faces


Features Slightly longer and a bit narrower face.

  • Buy : Try larger frames with width that will give a balanced look and will shorten your face. This wider larger frames will give a dynamic new look.
  • Don’t Buy: Anything small or short because it will add emphasis to your long face or bottom rimless frames as they lengthen the face.
