A good fit is important... Your eyeglasses should fit comfortably and securely. They should not rub behind your ears or irritate the bridge of your nose. If they don't feel right an adjustment can be made for a more comfortable fit. It is very important to keep eyeglasses adjusted properly for maximum benefit.

Framing your face... When choosing a frame style, try on frames that are the opposite shape of your face.

· Round shaped faces - square shapes that minimize roundness.
· Heart shaped faces - frames with low temples and lenses that get wider at the bottom.
· Square shaped faces - rounder frames that soften the lines of your face.
· Triangular shaped faces - cat's eye shaped frames that complement your wider jaw line.
· Oblong shaped faces - aviator or rimless bottoms that add width to the forehead while softening and narrowing the appearance of the jaw, chin and cheeks.
· Oval shapes faces - frames that are wide as or wider than the broadest part of your face and help keep the oval's natural balance
· Most frame materials are plastic or metal. There are some metal frames that are very flexible and are designed to hold their shape better under "rougher" conditions. The metal frames have nose pads, whereas the plastics do not.

Frames for children... A key to success with children who need to wear glasses is to select a frame that is comfortable, durable and one that is just "cool". Allowing your child to have a role in choosing the frames can make getting glasses an exciting and personal experience.
