What is Frame Styling?
Frame styling is the fitting process of selecting frames and prescription lenses that complements your face, stylistic preferences, and lifestyle. After your Oakland optometrist provides you with an up-to-date spectacle prescription, frame styling ensures that you are physically and visually comfortable wearing your new glasses.
What to expect
You will have a chance to try on different frames so that you see how various styles look on your face. Our skilled opticians will help you select styles that complement the size, shape, and skin tone of your face. We look for eye placement within the lens and symmetry. We ensure that the frame will accommodate your lenses especially if you wear progressives or bifocals. When we style our patients with eyewear, it is most important that they fit right. After you find the perfect frame, we will help customize your prescription lenses to maximize your vision.
How does Frame Styling improve your visual health?
Expert frame styling ensures that you’ll be happy and comfortable when wearing your glasses. Accurately measured and properly fitted frames and lenses will reduce symptoms of frequent headaches, blurry vision, eye fatigue, and optical distortions.
What are the benefits of Frame Styling?
Oakland optometrists recommend frame styling for several reasons:
Your frames will accommodate your lenses.
Depending on your prescription, there are usually certain frames that will be a better fit your prescription lenses. Your eyeglass prescription determines the type of lens design the frame will accommodate and the optimal lens material. If your optometrist in Oakland writes out a single vision prescription with high powers, we would suggest a zyl frame to reduce the appearance of a thicker lens. For those that wear progressives or bifocals, a frame must have a certain depth to properly hold your lenses.
Your glasses will better fit your lifestyle.
Are you adventurous with color or would you like something more durable for your daily wear? We want to know about your occupation and hobbies. Tell us about what you love and don’t love about your current eyewear. If you’re busy and rarely remove your glasses, a lightweight style will ensure that your glasses feel comfortable throughout the day. Or, if you spend a lot of time in a creative setting, you might prefer a bolder style that helps you stay in touch with your artsy side. We’ll be sure to find the right frame and lens options to fit all your preferences and needs.
Your glasses will be more comfortable to wear.
The more comfortable and less adjustment we need to make, the better you will see and feel when wearing your eyeglasses. While it is tempting to order a cheap pair of glasses online, your optometrist in Oakland knows that it is likely to yield glasses that are uncomfortable. The temples could fall short of sitting properly on your ears or they could slide down your nose or squeeze your the sides of your head. It is even more common that prescription lenses are improperly made and fail standards.
We want you to love your glasses! Eyewear styling is essential when you shopping for your next perfect pair of SPEX.
