Eyeglass Frames

Selecting eyeglass frames is not easy for most people. 

• Do you want a bold or subtle frame? 
• Do you like modern lines or a retro look?

Selecting the Best Eyeglasses for your Prescription and Face

Searching for the perfect pair of eyeglasses?  Eyeglasses are as unique as each patient we see. Finding the best frame is closely related to the kind of lenses that are ideal for your needs. Talk with Wohl Optics experts regarding lens materials and lens designs before starting your frame selection. Let's discuss anti-reflective coatings and UV blocking since they can improve the appearance and performance of your prescription.

Be aware that although many frames may appear to be very similar, some are specifically designed for particular kinds of prescriptions. A key purpose of a short preliminary discussion is to help you recognize the complexity of getting the best possible outcome.This is when an experienced optician is absolutely necessary.  You may not even know why frames do not look good on you or they may be uncomfortable.  Doug Wohl is highly skilled and an expert in fitting your eyewear will be able to hone in quickly on the eyeglasses that are most suitable.

The style of the glasses you choose will help you look your best.  BUT, the FIT is mores important. This is why it is so imperative that you try on frames before buying. Ordering online could be an expensive mistake.  Is the bridge wide enough for you?  Will the frames work with a progressive lens?  Will the frames slide off your nose easily?  Thee are consequences to a poorly selected frame and lens.  Eyeglasses are a CUSTOM product, with decades of technology put into every custom pair you are fitted by a real optician.

• Glasses that do not fit properly can look out of place and detract from your appearance.
• Glasses with a poor fit can be uncomfortable. they can press uncomfortably against your ears, slide down your nose, and fall off or pinch the bridge of your nose. I have seen so many people wearing distance glasses at the tip of their nose.
• When your glasses are uncomfortable, you are not going to wear them as often as you should. And if you are not wearing your glasses as prescribed, you are putting your vision at risk, and possibly your safety and the safety of those around you.
• If your glasses do not fit as they should, they may not be correcting your vision properly. This is particularly important with bifocals and progressive lenses

Design, material and treatments are the three components that make up a pair of prescription lenses. It is important to select the right combination of these elements for your particular visual needs and to always consult your eye care professional.

When choosing a frame, the shape and size of the frame should enhance the color of your eyes, complement your skin tone and play up the best features of your face shape.
