Some advice to choose your spectacles/ face morphology

The spectacles' choice is made with your face morphology in mind. For each face there is, different possible frames to choose from, but we have a few face's elements to take into account.

It is of most importance to have a frame perfectly adjusted to your nose, and we must be very careful to the following criteria:



-------> Thin nose : You must have a narrow bridge .
-------> Large nose : You must have lower and large bridge
-------> Long nose : You must have lower bridge, narrow or large.
--------> Short nose: You must have a higher bridge, narrow or large.







Short nose ------------ Long nose


THE EYEBROWS
The eyebrows must have the same orientation as the upper rim of the frame, or the rim must occludes the eyebrows.


THE CHEEKS
The frames should not touch the cheeks, the pressure mark are not very nice, the mist and the grease material will stain the lenses. With high cheeks, you must have a narrow spectacles with a lower bridge.


THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE
The distance between both eyes is very important to choose the size of the frame. The eyes must look as central as possible in the lenses.


THE SHAPE OF THE FACE


We can classify the faces in for main shapes : OVAL, LONG, ROUND, SQUARE. Depending on which morphology we have, we can have two ways to handel the case, either reinforced the lines of the face or on the contrary do the reverse. Here play a lot of different considerations, the fashion, your personality, and the look you need or you wish to have, for the job you're in etc... Your optician can surely be a great help to choose your new spectacles. You must try a lot of different styles.
