Choosing the right pair of glasses is a big decision. You’ll wear them most of the time and be seen with them. In many cases, your glasses become an extension of you and part of your style, which means choosing the perfect pair of glasses is paramount. Your face shape influences the type of prescription eyeglasses that will look best on you and flatter your features. We’ve broken down the four main face shapes with the dos and don’ts for you. Square A square face is characterized by a broad forehead and a strong jaw. The proportions of your face will be equal in width and length. The ideal glasses for you will be round or oval. They will also have darker colors to help add contrast to strong facial features that tend to come with a square face. Heart Individuals with a heart-shaped face will have a broad forehead but a smaller chin. This face type traditionally lends itself to high cheekbones as well.

Make an appointment with your local optometrist to get your prescription checked and then visit the optician to try on a variety of sunglass options. Always check that your lenses will block 99-100% of the damaging UV rays. At Vision Care Centre in Langley, BC, we offer our patients a wide variety of designer...
