Choosing your frames

A pair of glasses has two components: the frame and the lenses.

Each one must be selected carefully to give you complete satisfaction. After a thorough examination of your eyes, your optometrist and his specialized personnel will be able to advise you in the choice of your frame and lenses that would meet your needs.

The shape, the color and the design constitute an important criteria to choose a frame that goes well with the shape of your face and your personality. Technological progress constantly widens the range of materials available. For instance, titanium combines lightness and resistance. Other materials, called "memory", allow the frames exposed to knocks and bends to find their original form.

In order to choose a pair of glasses well, you need to hold account of the environment and context in which you will be wearing them. Do you work in front of a computer all day long? Do you play sports, are you a handyman, do you read a lot? Are you an outdoors or indoors kind of person?

Do you have a hectic social life? Do you worry about your image and looks? Are you a fashion forward? Those are questions among others that will guide you in your choice for a pair of glasses.

Several pairs of glasses, each one adapted specifically to an activity or a major need, would be an alternative to be considered. It is undoubtedly what you already do for your choice of clothing.
