Women's Eyeglass Frames

Women's eyeglasses have come a long way in the last few decades and in today's eyewear market there is an abundance of options. With constant innovations in style, comfort, and quality, eyeglasses have become as much a fashion accessory as a medical device to improve vision. In addition to all of the optical companies creating eyeglass frames, many of the major designer fashion lines have come to incorporate eyewear into their portfolios as well.

So, when it's time for a new pair, where does a woman start?

Choosing the Right Frames for You

When you shop at an optical store, the optician is trained to help you select the right pair of frames. This decision should take into consideration your personal style, your lifestyle and your appearance. The right frame will look great with your complexion, coloring and face shape, feel comfortable and suit your needs in terms of flexibility, durability, cost and style.

The best way to make the shopping process a success is to have some ideas of what you want before you go in. This will help the optician narrow down the options. Here are some questions to ask yourself in advance of your visit to the optician:

Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Shop

Frame Shape

What shape eyewear looks good with my facial structure? If you currently have eyeglasses, do you want a similar shape?

Color & Style

What color eyewear compliments my complexion? What style do I prefer — modern or retro, classic or contemporary?

Lifestyle Needs

Where do you wear your frames? Do you play sports or engage in activities that would require durable glasses?

Budget & Coatings

How much are you willing to spend? Do you want coatings (anti-scratch, anti-glare) or transition lenses that darken in the sun?

Getting the Perfect Fit

Armed with your answers, your optician will have a much easier time assisting you in finding the perfect pair. Once you have narrowed down the options, make sure that the pair you choose fits well and will be comfortable for extended use.

Make sure the frames are the right width for your face — that they don't slide off when you look down or press on your temples or behind your ears. The frames should be snug but not cause any pressure. Also pay attention to whether they fit comfortably across the bridge of the nose.

Lastly, make sure that your eyes are completely within the frame where the lenses go so you are not looking over the top of the frame.

If you can't find one perfect pair, you can always consider buying a second pair. This way you can mix and match depending on your outfit and your mood.
