How to Choose the Right Glasses for Your Face Shape

Finding the perfect pair of glasses isn’t just about clear vision - it’s also about expressing your style and complementing your unique features. At Lum Optometry, we offer a wide selection of eyewear in South San Francisco, including designer and high-quality frames that fit every face shape and personality. Here’s how to find your ideal match.

 

Identify Your Face Shape

The first step to finding your perfect glasses is determining your face shape. The most common types include:

•          Round: Your face has soft curves and roughly equal width and length. Angular or rectangular frames can add definition and elongate your features.

•          Oval: Balanced proportions make this shape the most versatile. Almost any frame style works well, though wider frames accentuate your natural symmetry.

•          Square: With a strong jawline and broad forehead, round or oval frames can soften your angles and add contrast.

•          Heart-shaped: Characterized by a wider forehead and narrow chin, light-colored or rimless frames help balance your features.

•          Diamond: Narrow at the forehead and chin with broad cheekbones, cat-eye or oval frames draw attention to your eyes and cheeks.

 

Consider Frame Color and Material

Once you’ve identified your face shape, choose colors and materials that enhance your complexion and lifestyle. For instance, lightweight titanium or acetate frames offer both comfort and durability. Classic black or tortoiseshell can provide a timeless look, while bold colors add personality.

 

Match Your Style and Lifestyle

Your glasses should suit your daily routine as much as your fashion sense. Whether you need sleek professional frames for the office or vibrant, durable options for active days, Lum Optometry carries high-quality frames in South San Francisco designed for every occasion.

 

Get a Professional Fit

Even the best-looking frames won’t feel right if they don’t fit properly. Our expert opticians ensure your glasses rest comfortably on your nose and ears while keeping your lenses properly aligned for optimal vision.
