Wearing eyeglasses does not only improve your vision, but is also an opportunity to make a fashion statement and to spruce up your daily look. At our
New Rochelle eyeglass store, Dr. Chris Giorgio and his staff are experts not only in optical health but also in the fashion side of wearing eyeglasses. We can help you find eyeglasses that are functional, and also that are flattering to your face shape and fit with your personal style. There are four general categories of face shapes that we place our clients in when directing them towards certain styles of eyeglasses. The first is the oval face shape. Those with an oval face shaped have generally proportional features with a chin that is slightly narrower than the forehead. The best type of frames for people with oval shaped faces are more rectangular or square shapes, but there are few frames that will be unflattering on an oval shaped face because of its proportions.

Another general face shape is the square shape. People who have square faces have more angles to their faces and strong jaw lines. If you have a square shaped face, the opticians and frame technicians at our
New Rochelle eyeglass store recommend that those individuals should consider the butterfly shape for your next pair of eyeglasses. The third category of face shapes is the round shape. People with round faces have few angles in their faces, and usually have full cheeks and a round chin. If you have a round face, the best frames for you are those that are more angular and geometric to balance out the lack of angles in your face. The final face shape is the heart shape. Those with heart shaped faces have a wider forehead and wider cheekbones and a smaller, narrower chin. If you have a heart shaped face, you should look for rounder, narrower frames for your next pair of eyeglasses.
For more personalized advice about which frames will work for your face, we invite you to visit Dr. Giorgio and the rest of us at our
New Rochelle eyeglass store at your soonest convenience. We have a wide range of frames for you to choose from that will suit any face, any style, and any budget.
