Choosing your frames

Comfort, fit and personal style all matter when choosing a pair of glasses. Explore the details with our team.

Fit and proportions

Consider how the frame sits on your face, its width and its coverage. The size printed on a frame and its visual style are different things: trying it on helps you compare both.

Frame and lens materials

Materials offer different weights, textures and finishes. Explore nylon for sports styles and acetate for its range of colours. Lens material and coating options can also be discussed when choosing your frame.

Shape, colour and personality

Compare rounded and angular shapes, then explore colours that complement or contrast with your eyes, hair and skin tone. Choose a style you enjoy wearing; face-shape suggestions are a starting point for trying different looks.

Tint and finish

Explore lens tints and finishes alongside your frame choice. Ask the practice to explain the lens specifications and the options suited to your everyday activities.
