The Perfect Frames For Your Eyeglasses

Whatever your reason for wearing glasses, it's important to find the right frames that fit your lifestyle and personality.

Eyeglasses are ubiquitous, with an estimated 84% of Americans wearing them. At Giant Optical in Hempstead, NY, our eye doctor offer eyeglasses that are simply a necessity for many people, they need them to see clearly. For others, eyeglasses can be so much more. They can be fancy eye wear to express your unique style, or you can use them to help you hide your eye condition from the world.
There are many different frames for eyeglasses that enhance eye care, and the right type will depend on your style and optometry needs. They include:

  • 01

    Rimless Frames

    Rimless frames have no rim around the lens, making them appear as if they're floating on your face. They're a good choice for people who want a minimalist look or those who have a strong prescription and need to minimize the weight of their glasses. They are also a popular selection for sunglasses.

    Full Rim Frames

    Full rim frames have a rim that goes around the lens. They're the most popular type of frame, and they're a good choice for people with any prescription strength. Most sunglasses have full-rim frames.

  • 03

    Semi-Rimless Frames

    Semi-rimless frames have a rim on the top and bottom of the lens but not around the sides. They're a good middle ground between rimless and full-rim frames, and they work well for people with mild to moderate prescriptions.

  • 04

    Cat-Eye Frames

    Cat-eye frames are a type of full-rim frame that's defined by their upswept shape. They're a popular choice for women, and you can wear them with any prescription strength.

  • Is there a difference between regular eyeglass frames and prescription eyeglass frames?

    The term "regular eyeglass frames" usually refers to non-prescription frames or frames that you can wear with or without lenses. An eye doctor specifically prescribes prescription eyeglass frames to accommodate your optometry needs. If you have a prescription, you'll need to ensure that your frames are compatible with your lenses for optimum eye care.

  • How to choose the right frames for your face shape

    You should consider the shape of yours when choosing glasses frames. Different shapes can help accentuate or downplay features. If you have a round face, you might want to try rectangular frames to make your face look longer. Or, if you have a heart-shaped face, cat-eye frames could help balance out your appearance.

  • How do I know the right prescription for my eyes?

    Frames are an important part of eye wear, but they're not the only thing you need to consider. You'll also need to ensure that your lenses are the right prescription for your eyes. You can do this by contacting (516) 481-2020 to schedule regular eye exams with our optometrist at Giant Optical in Hempstead, NY.
