Custom Eyes Optometry: Helping You Find the Right Frames to Suit Your Face

Finding the right eyeglass frames is about more than just style—it’s about comfort, functionality, and enhancing your natural features. With so many options available, selecting frames that complement your face shape, lifestyle, and vision needs can feel overwhelming.

At Custom Eyes Optometry in Costa Mesa / Newport Beach, we help patients choose frames that not only look great but also provide the perfect fit for their daily activities. Whether you need glasses for work, sports, or special occasions, the right eyewear can make all the difference.

Understanding Face Shapes and Frame Selection

Identifying your face shape is the first step in selecting frames that enhance your natural features. Here's a guide to common face shapes and suitable frame styles:

• Oval Face: Characterized by balanced proportions, an oval face suits most frame styles. Experiment with bold shapes and colors to express your personality.
• Round Face: With soft curves and equal width and height, round faces benefit from angular frames like rectangular or square shapes to add definition.
• Square Face: Defined by a strong jawline and broad forehead, square faces are complemented by round or oval frames that soften angular features.
• Heart-Shaped Face: Featuring a broad forehead and narrow chin, heart-shaped faces look great with frames that are wider at the bottom or light-colored frames to balance proportions.
• Diamond Face: Narrow at the forehead and jawline with broad cheekbones, diamond-shaped faces shine in oval or cat-eye frames that highlight the eyes and soften cheekbones.

Building Your Eyewear Wardrobe

Just as you have different shoes for various activities, having multiple pairs of glasses can enhance both functionality and style. Consider the following additions to your eyewear collection:

• Everyday Glasses: Your go-to pair for daily wear, reflecting your personal style and providing comfort.
• Professional Glasses: Frames that convey a polished, professional appearance suitable for work environments.
• Sports Eyewear: Durable, secure-fitting frames designed for physical activities, offering protection and performance.
• Sunglasses: Prescription or non-prescription shades that protect your eyes from UV rays while adding a stylish touch.
• Computer Glasses: Lenses with blue light filtering to reduce eye strain during extended screen time.

Having multiple pairs of eyeglasses ensures you'll be able to accessorize for any occasion and be prepared for any activity without sacrificing your vision. Our team can help you find the perfect pair of eyeglasses for every occasion and activity.

Lifestyle Considerations

When selecting frames, think about your daily activities and specific needs:

• Active Lifestyle: If you're frequently on the move or involved in sports, consider lightweight, impact-resistant frames with a secure fit.
• Professional Settings: For a corporate environment, opt for classic styles in neutral colors that exude professionalism.
• Fashion-Forward: If you enjoy making a statement, explore trendy designs from elite fashion houses like Kate Spade, Maui Jim and Calvin Klein. Experiment with bold colors, and unique shapes to showcase your personality.
• Digital Device Use: For those spending significant time on screens, lenses with blue light protection can reduce eye fatigue.
