Just some of the wide extensive range of affordable and designer lenses we
have in our collection at Lydney.
When it comes to choosing a pair of
spectacles an important part of the process is choosing the frame. A frame can
be functional, help you make a statement about your own personality or indeed
both. You will want to know how strong and durable the frame is, does it come in
different sizes and colours ? Is it a designer frame ? there is no right or
wrong answer to what is right for you, it is down to personal taste and preference.
However our Qualified Dispensing Opticians will be able to assist you in making
the right choice.
Over the years there have been many developments in
materials used and this has led to many new designs and concepts.
The most
recent developments has been in the rimless range of frames. With the production
of ultra thin and lightweight materials for lenses you can, with the rimless
style have the appearance of not wearing glasses at all. We have a selection of
frames from such people as Silhouette, Airtight, Stepper, and Minima.
Another
new style are the flexible frames from people such as Flexon which are able to
bend and the return to their original shape. So if you are heavy handed with
your frames, either because of the type of work you do or just life style, then
this type of frame would be more suitable to your needs.
Facial
Shapes
We are all different, each one of us is unique and although we
may have family resemblances no two of us are alike, even identical twins have
some slight differences. Therefore the frame that you wear may not look right on
someone else. Take a look at the chart below. Apart from facial shape your hair
colour/style and facial colouring play a part in what is suitable for you. Our
Qualified Dispensing staff will be very happy and able to talk you though the
various frame styles with you so that you get the best for you. Your
prescription will also play apart in the frame you choose, ( a higher
prescription usually means thicker heavier lenses) a smaller frame can help cut
down on the lens makeup and be better from a cosmetic/weight point of view.
However size of frame does play a more significant part when requiring
varifocals. Again our highly qualified staff can assist you in finding the right
frame for your life style and fashion needs.
