Fashion And Function
Your eyeglasses are both a medical necessity and a fashion accessory. You will want to allow plenty of time after your eye exam to select the right frame for your face and personality. Here are a few of your options when it comes to picking out your new frames: material - plastic, metal, titanium; shape - round, oval, rectangular, cat eye; color - silver, gold, bronze in metals or any of the colors of the rainbow in plastic.
With a wide variety of new styles and products from which to choose, you can change your image, simply by choosing the best frame style for your face.
After your eye exam you will be directed to our Optical Center to select your frames and lenses. When you arrive, you will be given a questionnaire. Fill out the questionnaire and then let the staff know you are ready to see the optician. The receptionist will check your eyewear benefits and invite you to look at the display of frames while you wait for the optician to assist you.
Choosing frames that complement your face and skin tone is an important part of selecting your eyewear. By selecting a specific shape of eyewear you can actually accentuate your best facial features while downplaying less-attractive features.
You will want to make several frame selections as some of your choices may not be appropriate for your prescription. You may need a second pair of glasses for sunwear or one pair of glasses for everyday wear and one pair for sports activities. Sharing your questionnaire with your optician will help him or her make recommendations for the most appropriate frame and lenses for your eyewear.
