How to choose Frames?

We offer hundreds of frame styles, and we are increasing and updating in-stock styles every month. Our frames are private label generic eyeglasses frames which are high quality and trendy, yet can be obtained at a low and pretty affordable price. Most of our frames are made of plastic, metal alloy, memory metal and titanium, which are light weight, durable and comfortable to wear. It's all up to your personal likings and dislikings to choose the frames that best fit you. Though it is a tough question to answer, there are several concerns we should be aware of before determining which frame is a wise selection for you.
• Face shape
• Skin color
• lifestyle and personality

Eyeglasses and face shape

Your face shape is the first concern. Always choose the frames with the shapes opposite to your face shape, for example, boxy or rectangular frames work well with round faces, and vice versa. You are lucky if your face is oval one, which flatters most of the frames. A round pair of eyeglasses can not fit all eyewear users satisfactorily. Eyeglass wearers usually need to resort to a specific frame shape that will complement their facial features best. For this reason, every customer should also avoid eyeglasses in certain frame shapes. Each pair of eyeglasses only flatters certain types of faces. The criterion is that the frame shape should basically contrast with the wearer's face shape. It is necessary for each customer to know exactly his or her own face shape.

1. Oval face:

Among all facial shapes, oval is an easy-going one because it has well balanced proportions. Customers with such a face will go well with most eyewear frames. The only task is to keep its natural balance. Good frames for this group of people include frames that have an equal width of the broadest part of the face. In contrast, eyewear frames that are too deep or narrow should be avoided.

2. Oblong face:

An oblong face has more length than its width. In most cases, people with such a face have angular features with high cheekbones, a longer nose and tall forehead. According to the stated guideline, the task is to offset these obvious features while selecting a frame shape. Oblong-faced customers are encouraged to try tall frames that help create a shorter face, or broad frames with an accented top rim. The other task is to avoid all frames that may accentuate face length.

3. Square face:

People with a square face have the same proportions of face width and length, and usually a strong jaw line and a broad forehead. These are sharp features similar to that of an oblong face. This is not a good balance so that the first tip is to achieve more width than depth. Narrow oval frames are a good option. Another important task is to compromise those sharp facial angles. In this sense, eyewear frames that are capable of softening the angles are suitable.

4. Round face:

This face is similar to square face in terms of width and length distribution. A noticeable difference lies in that a round face has no angles but curved lines. The first possible way is to make this face look thinner and longer. This breaks the natural balance between width and length. The second possible way is to create some beauty-enhancing angles. Angular narrow frames and geometric frames are good options.

5. Diamond face:

People with a diamond face have broad cheekbones, involving naturally narrow eye line as well as jaw line. This facial shape is dissimilar to any one of the other shapes. For customers with such a face shape, the only thing is to soften the noticeable cheekbones by highlighting the eye line. Cat-eye glasses and rimless glasses are good options.

6. Triangle faces:

Base-down triangle and base-up triangle are opposite facial shapes. The first one has narrow forehead and wide cheek and chin areas, while the second one has wide top third and narrow bottom third. Matching these faces to appropriate frames also requires opposite tips. For the first group of customers, it is necessary to add width to the narrow upper third of the face. In contrast, the second group of customers is encouraged to add width to the bottom third.

7. Heart face:

Features of a heart face include broad forehead, wide cheekbones but narrow, small chin. Similar to people with a base-up triangle face, heart-faced people need to choose frames that add width to the lower facial section. Narrow, round frames can soften the forehead.

Skin color

Skin color is the second consideration. Choose the frames which match your complexion. People with the warm skin tone normally look good in the frames in colors like gold, copper, orange, red and yellow. For people of cold skin tone, frames in black, brown and blue will be good choices.

Lifestyle and personality

Your lifestyle and personality is the major determinant in choosing your frames. You may choose sheerly differentiated eyeglasses for yourself just for different occasions. We strive to enable our valued customers to buy multiple pairs of eyeglasses to create a real eyewear wardrobe. As online optical store doesn't have the chance guiding you through the try-on process, which is the only drawback for online retailers. Yet it is not so difficult to find a pair of properly-sized eyeglasses. You can look at or measure your old pair of glasses to get the dimension which fits you the best. By having these numbers, you can easily find the closest match in our website.

Frame Size and Strong Rx

When purchasing single vision eyeglasses, wearers with higher prescription strength should be aware that large frame with wider lens is not recommended while smaller and narrower lens width will contribute to a thinner edge, lighter weight and greater comfort.

1. Applying higher index lenses (1.60 index and above) can solve the problem of having a thick edge on the Negative lens or a thick center of the Positive lens. These higher index lenses are not only thinner and lighter, but being aspheric will effectively perfect your vision effect and wearing comfort.

2. For the farsighted wearers （There is "+" in front of SPH value）who want to select the higher index lens above the 1.60 index, please avoid choosing big frame with wide lens because the higher index positive lens is with a smaller diameter (55mm) which might be insufficient to be polished based on the frame with wild lens, the frame with the lens width of 50mm or shorter is recommended.

3. For the wears that have a comparatively small PD (the distance between your pupils is less than 58mm), please pay more attention to the total width of the size as larger frame may not match your PD. Smaller frame with the lens width of 50mm or lower should be considered as the first choice in order to make sure the accuracy of your prescription.

How to read and measure eyeglasses size?

Standard numbers of eyeglass frame size

Typically there will be three standard numbers imprinted on one of the temples or the bridge, indicating respectively the sizes of three frame parts. A typical example is 50-21-142. All sizes are marked in millimeter.

1. Lens size:

The first number 50 represents the lens size, which is also called eye size or lens width. Lens width is the most exact name of this size, describing precisely the distance between the vertical sides of a rectangle containing the lens shape. It is important to differentiate it from lens height. A large lens for a big guy usually has big sizes at both dimensions. Lens size typically ranges from 44 to 52. In rare cases, big and tall guys need to take a frame with a size of 58.

2. Bridge length:

The second number 21 represents the bridge size. Other sayings include bridge length and bridge width. In detail, it is the minimum horizontal distance between the nasal surfaces of the rims. This size varies only slightly because people's noses will hardly differ significantly. When the frame is sitting too high on the face, it is necessary to increase this bridge size. In opposite, a shorter bridge is needed when the frame sits too low on the face.

3. Arm length:

The third number 142 describes the length of an arm or temple. This is the whole length of a temple, consisting of the length to the bend and the length of the drop. Most people can get fit into a size of 140, but a big guy may require 155 and even more.

How to measure eyeglasses size

Step 1: Prepare a metric ruler

Get a metric ruler that is capable of measuring millimeters, the universal unit of measurement set by worldwide frame manufacturers and opticians.

Step 2: Place the frame properly

Place the frame on a smooth table or level surface. It is acceptable whether the arms are closed or open.

Step 3: Align the ruler and make measurements

Align the starting end of the ruler with the one side of the eye rim at the outer edge, and measure the distance to the other side of the eye rim. The bridge length can be measured in a similar way.

Step 4: Measure arm or temple

It is necessary to measure the length to the bend and the length of the drop respectively. At some online optical shops, customers are required to provide the frame sizes according to personal facial size. This is the necessary information for opticians to fit a pair of comfortable glasses.
