Choosing the right eyeglasses is about more than just clear vision—it’s about finding frames that complement your facial features, suit your style, and meet your vision needs. At The Eye Man, we offer a wide selection of designer frames and personalized fittings to help you find glasses that look and feel just right.
 

Identifying Your Face Shape

Before diving into specific frame recommendations, the first step is to determine your face shape. While no face is a perfect match for any single category, most people fall into one of these general shapes:

• Round: Full cheeks with a soft jawline and a face that’s nearly as wide as it is long.

• Oval: Balanced proportions with a slightly longer face and gently rounded features.

• Square: Strong jawline, broad forehead, and equal width along the face.

• Heart-Shaped: Wider forehead that tapers down to a narrower chin.

• Diamond-Shaped: Prominent cheekbones with a narrower forehead and jawline.
   

Best Eyeglasses for Your Face Shape

• Round Face: To add angles and definition, opt for frames that are more structured. Rectangular and square frames help create contrast, making the face appear more elongated. Avoid round frames, as they may exaggerate the roundness.

• Oval Face: Most eyeglass styles complement oval faces due to their balanced proportions. However, frames that are slightly wider than the broadest part of the face work best. Avoid overly large frames that can throw off your natural symmetry.

• Square Face: Rounded or oval frames soften sharp facial features and create a more balanced appearance. Look for thinner frames with curved edges rather than angular or boxy styles, which can make the face look more rigid.

• Heart-Shaped Face: Bottom-heavy frames help balance out a broader forehead by drawing attention downward. Oval and round frames can soften the face, while light-colored or rimless options prevent overwhelming delicate features. Avoid top-heavy styles that accentuate the forehead.

• Diamond-Shaped Face: Since diamond-shaped faces have high cheekbones with a narrower forehead and jawline, oval or cat-eye frames help highlight the eyes and soften angles. Rimless and semi-rimless options can also complement this shape well.
