Finding the Perfect Pair of Glasses

Finding the perfect pair of glasses can be a daunting task, but with the help of Illinois Eye Center, it doesn’t have to be. Our experienced opticians consider eight different criteria to ensure that you have the best glasses for you. From face shape to prescription strength, we take the time to understand your needs and preferences. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the eight criteria that we consider and how they impact your glasses selection.

Face Shape: Different face shapes require different styles of glasses. For example, if you have a round face, glasses with more angular shapes can help balance out your features. Our opticians will help you determine your face shape and choose glasses that complement it.

Skin Tone: The color of your skin can impact the look of your glasses. We’ll consider your skin tone to help determine the best color and material for your frames. For example, if you have warm skin tones, glasses with gold or brown-toned frames might be a good choice.

Nose Structure: The shape of your nose can impact the fit of your glasses. If you have a low nose bridge, for example, you may require glasses with adjustable nose pads. Our opticians will take the time to ensure that your glasses fit comfortably and securely.

Eye Shape: Your eye shape can also impact the fit of your glasses. For example, if you have close-set eyes, glasses with a wider bridge can help balance them out. We’ll help you choose frames that fit your eyes comfortably and enhance your features.

Eyebrows: The shape of your eyebrows can also impact your glasses selection. For example, if you have thick eyebrows, glasses with a more subtle frame can help keep your face from looking too busy. Our opticians will consider all these factors as they help you choose the perfect pair of glasses.

Occupation: Your occupation can impact the style and functionality of your glasses. For example, if you work outside, you may need glasses with UV protection. If you work in an office, you may prefer lenses that make screen viewing more comfortable. We’ll consider your occupation as we help you choose the best glasses for your needs.

Prescription Strength: The strength of your prescription can impact the shape and thickness of your lenses. We’ll help you choose frames that will accommodate your prescription without compromising on style.

Lifestyle: Your lifestyle can impact the functionality of your glasses. For example, if you lead an active lifestyle, you may need glasses with more durable frames. If you spend a lot of time reading, you may prefer glasses with lenses that accommodate a larger reading area.  We’ll consider your lifestyle as we help you choose glasses that fit your needs.

At Illinois Eye Center, we understand that choosing the perfect pair of glasses can be overwhelming. That’s why our opticians consider eight different criteria to ensure that you have the best glasses for you. From face shape to lifestyle, we take the time to understand your needs and preferences.
