Tips for Using the Size Charts
- Measure Accurately: Use a flexible ruler to get accurate measurements of your face width and distance between your pupils.
- Refer to Age Groups: Choose the size that corresponds to your age group for the best fit and comfort.
- Consider Frame Style: The shape of the frame can affect how it sits on your face. Ensure that the style complements both your measurements and face shape.
- Adjust for Comfort: Many frames come with adjustable nose pads and temple tips to fine-tune the fit.

Personalized Face Shape Suggestions
- Round Face: Oval or rectangular frames work best for adding definition and length to a round face. Avoid round frames that emphasize the roundness of your face.
- Oval Face: Most frame shapes work well with an oval face, but square or rectangular frames can add structure. Avoid frames that are too narrow or small, as they can disrupt the balanced proportions.
- Square Face: Round or oval frames help soften the angular features of a square face. Avoid square or angular frames that can accentuate the strong jawline.
- Heart Face: Oval, round, and cat-eye frames can balance a heart-shaped face by adding width to the lower part of the face. Avoid top-heavy frames that can emphasize a narrow chin.
- Diamond Face: Oval and round frames help balance the cheekbones and narrow forehead and chin. Avoid narrow frames that can highlight the width of your cheekbones.
- Rectangle Face: Round or soft rectangular frames can balance the length of a rectangular face. Avoid very angular or narrow frames that can make your face appear longer.
