Frames should fit the face — and the prescription.

A horizontal frame with a crisp lower edge and modest depth.

The straight line contrasts with soft cheeks and can add structure to a round or oval outline.

A stronger top rim with a thinner or rimless lower edge.

Puts visual weight across the brow line, which can balance a narrow forehead or a wider jaw.

A circular or softly rounded lens with a thin rim.

Curves soften a square jaw or an angular hairline. Keep the frame small enough that it does not repeat a round face.

A teardrop lens with a double bridge and a little more depth below the eye line.

The lower lens adds weight toward the cheeks and jaw, which can balance a wider forehead.

An upswept outer corner and a slightly wider top line.

The lift draws attention to the upper face and can balance a strong jaw or add width at the temples.

A gently curved lens that is wider than it is tall.

A low-contrast frame that follows the face without repeating a sharp angle. Useful when you want the face to lead.

A hexagonal or angled lens with a thin metal rim.

Adds a deliberate angle without a heavy browline. It can give a round face definition while staying light.

Minimal rim with the lens shape doing most of the work.

Keeps the face visible and avoids adding another strong horizontal line. A good option when frames tend to overwhelm you.

A larger lens with a soft square corner and a wide fit.

The scale can shorten a long face and the horizontal line adds width. Check that the frame does not sit on the cheeks.

A slim, wide rectangle with a low lens depth.

A strong horizontal line that can make a long face feel shorter. Avoid if you want to soften a very angular jaw.
