The ultimate guide to choose the right spectacles

Finding the right pair of eyewear accessories for your face shape is no less tiring and confusing than picking one out of the two dresses you've chosen at your favourite store. There are multiple things you need to consider to find the perfect match. In this article, we have tried to put together a guide to make the process easier for you and to find the right pair of glasses for your beautiful eye.

Spectacle frame according to your face shape

Square

A square shape can be identified from the sharp angles and even proportions. With a pronounced jaw and angular features, they need to wear an eye accessory that helps to elongate their face. For this purpose, round or oval frames suit best on square-shaped faces. Also, getting a lens with lighter lower rim and darker upper rim again helps to bring out an illusion of a longer face.

Circle/oval

Circular or oval-shaped faces are softer with less defined cheekbones and chin lines. To add some angles to their face, they need rectangular, cat-eye for women’s glasses or similar geometrical shapes. Round faces have almost equal height and width. Hence, they should carry frames with wider lenses from left to right.

Triangle

Triangular shaped faces are narrow from the forehead and broader from the chin and the jaw. With such a formation, they need a frame that can help to proportionate their face. Cat-eyes or browline men’s glasses with wider and darker upper rim are most suitable for triangular face shapes. They can also try to choose round or oval-shaped frames.

Inverse triangle/heart-shaped

Heart-shaped faces are just opposite to a triangular face. With a broader forehead and a tapering chin, they should choose light or rimless frames in a lighter colour. Round or oval is the best shape to look for as they help to take the attention away from a broader forehead and balance out the features.

Reading/computer glasses

Blue light glasses in the UK are the latest technology in optical study. This revolutionary product helps to block harmful blue light rays from different screens that cause potential damage to the eyes.

Now you might wonder how blue waves can be so damaging? Well, to answer this, first we must know what blue light is. The sunlight is a spectrum of seven different colours of the rainbow. Blue light is the last colour of the visible spectrum that moves with the lowest wavelength and the highest energy.

It is due to this high energy that these waves, emitted by our screens and some LEDs, are so damaging for the eyes. It can cause insomnia, digital eye strain or even chronic retina damage.

Frames for office wear

Office eyewear needs to be decent, simple and yet interesting enough to balance out the boring outfit. When wearing a plain white shirt, you can pick thin metallic rims in gold or rose gold to bring out a chic look. If you are wearing a simple printed shirt, transparent frames in the same tint can be a smart choice. Also, basic rectangular and rectangular frames go well with any formal outfit.

Frames for college

College eyewear can range from basic plain wayfarers to funky geometrical shapes; it just depends on your mood and your outfit. You can purchase a range of tinted transparent frames in a different colour as they can be easily teamed up with any outfit. Also, latest prints like stripes and tortoiseshell in trending styles like browline, hexagonal or cat-eye frames are some things that the college students can experiment with.

Frames for work from home

Work from home lenses should be three things- sturdy, so they don’t crack if you are clumsy on the desk; lightweight and comfortable, so they don’t hurt when you put them on for a more extended time period; thirdly, they should be coated for the blue light to filter out harmful rays. Cheap glasses online can seem more accessible and affordable. However, when you consider the low degree of protection they provide and their average shelf life, you will want to purchase lenses from a more reliable website like Specscart.
