• Selecting the right type of frame to securely hold your prescription,
• Selecting the right style to fit your facial feature in terms of style and comfort,
• Selecting the right material for your prescription and visual needs,
• Measuring optical centers to set prescription effectively,
• Meeting the accuracy standard in fabricating your prescription,
• Adjusting of finished eyewear to your face.

Lens menu:

Lens Design:

• Single Vision lenses - have one focal distance. If you have a prescription that contains a reading prescription in addition to distance, single vision lens might not serve all your visual needs.
• Progressive lenses - have an infinite number of focal distances ranging from infinity to your reading distance. You can see far and near with the same pair of lenses. Progressive lenses are a great choice for your general use.
• Lined Bifocals - have two focal distances, far and near. There is a defined line separating the distance prescription and the near prescription. Bifocal lenses does not have an intermediate range.
• Lined Trifocals – have an extra segment above the bifocal segment for intermediate focal distance.

Lens Material:

• Plastic lenses - are a good choice if the prescription is under 3.00D. Plastic lenses is not impact resistant. Plastic lenses does not block UV lights.
• Polycarbonate lenses - are thinner and lighter than plastic lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are impact resistant and blocks UV. Polycarbonate lenses are strongly recommended to children.
• Trivex/Pheonix lenses - are the best option if your prescription is not too high but you desire the best material that is lightest, UV resistant, impact resistant and chemical resistant.
• High-index plastic lenses - are thinner than Polycarbonate. High-index plastic is the material of choice for high prescription.
• *Aspheric design – is a special optical design to the single vision lenses to minimize thickness. When combined with high-index plastic, it provides the best solution for people with high prescription to keep there lenses thinner, flatter and reduces distortion.

Options for UV protection:

• Polarized sun glasses - filters out UV and polarized visible light, which produces glare. It is the best protection for people who are outdoors and drive a lot. It is permanently dark. So it is not for indoors.
• Transition lenses - are a good general protection against UV radiation. It has the advantage of allowing you to see both outdoors and indoors. The only disadvantage is that it does not turn dark in the car.
• UV coating – is a colorless coating that can be applied to your plastic lenses to make it UV blocking. However, UV coating does not protect you from bright lights.
• UV coating with color tinting – is a good choice for making sun glasses. However, it does not eliminate glare as well as polarized glasses. Different color tint can be applied to enhance vision in certain sports.

Other options:

• Anti-reflective/Anti-scratch coating – are typically combined to make a multi-layer coating to protect your lenses from scratches and reduce reflected light that enters your eyes. Reflected lights that bounce off your glasses create glares. If you use computer a lot, AR coating can make screen viewing much more comfortable. AR coated lenses are also cosmetically desirable, as your eyes will look clearer behind the lenses instead of being veiled by reflected light.
• Sports Eyewear – made with stronger material and a wrap around design to protect your eyes. We offer prescription RecSports and Wiley-X sports goggles. We have prescription swim goggles as well. Our lab is expert in cutting lenses to wrap around frames.
• Industrial Safety glasses - We offer Titmus/Sperian/Uvex and On guard safety glasses.

Choosing the Right Frames

Glasses say so much about your personality and personal style. At Eyes of Vision Optometry, we are happy to work with you in selecting frames that complement your features. Our experienced optometry professionals work closely with you to select the proper frames to fit your budget as well as your cosmetic, lifestyle, and vision needs. While working with our experienced staff enables you to select the appropriate frames, we invite you to learn more about which frame styles complement various face shapes.

Select Your Frames

Square Face

A square face is often characterized by a strong jaw line, a broad forehead, and a wide chin and cheekbones. The width and length of the face are close to being equal. Frames should be selected to make the face look longer and to soften the square angles of the face. Choose frames that are slightly curved (like an oval shape) and that have more horizontal than vertical real estate.

Oval Face

The oval face is identifiable by its balanced proportions. The forehead is slightly wider than the chin and cheekbones are high. Frames should complement the natural proportions of the oval. Choose frames that are wide or wider than the broadest part of the face and that follow your brow line. Often, diamond or rectangular shapes work best for oval shapes.

Oblong Face

Although fairly similar to an oval shape, an oblong face is longer than it is wide. The ideal frames will shorten the face by creating a break in the length of the face. Choose frames that have depth and a low bridge to shorten the nose. Try frames that are round, deep, have low-triangle shapes, or that have strong vertical lines.

Round Face

A round or full face is characterized by having the same width and length. For round faces, frames that add length to the face often work best. Frames that lengthen the face are typically angular, narrow and are wider than they are deep. It is best to avoid round style frames as these will exaggerate the roundness and curves of the face.

Heart Shaped Face (or Base-up Triangle)

A heart shaped face looks like a heart or a triangle with the point facing down. The forehead is very wide and cheekbones are high while the face narrows towards the chin. Counterbalance the narrow chin by choosing frames that are wider at the bottom. Generally, light colored and rimless frames work best, although aviator, butterfly and low-triangle styles also work well.

Base-down Triangle Face

A base-down triangle face has a narrower forehead with full cheeks and a broad chin. To offset a broad chin, select frames that widen at the top. Great selections include frames that have heavy color accents and detail on the top part of the frames. Cat-eye shapes also work well to add width and emphasize the narrow upper part of the face.

Diamond Face

A diamond shaped face is often characterized by high, dramatic cheekbones with a narrow eye line and jaw line. This shape is the rarest of all the shapes. Oval frames that are soft in style typically work best to highlight the eyes and cheekbones. Select frames that have detailing, distinctive brow lines, are rimless or a cat-eye shape for best results.
