Buying frames

The period in which frames were merely a functional item to ensure good sight is long gone. Frames today are a serious fashion item and must look fashionable.

The enormous choice of brands and frames means that finding glasses that suit you perfectly can become a real trial.

Enlist the help of Claeyssens Optic’s certified opticians. First, we’ll give you an eye exam, if you haven’t been to see an ophthalmologist already. This way, we can already find out what type of lenses (unifocal, multifocal, computer, reading, etc.) and the strength that you need. Second, our professional team of opticians will ensure that your glasses ‘fit’ your face perfectly, resting on just the right spots, to ensure maximum comfort when you’re wearing them. Third, we will provide you with advice on the frames that best suit your face. It is useful to consider colours and materials before you come in, as well as the price that you’re willing to pay for your frames.

What you especially need to pay attention to when choosing a model is the shape of your face and the colour of your hair and skin tone. There is a different type of frame for each facial shape. There are some rules of thumb, but as always, there are exceptions to every rule. This is why we recommend getting advice on the right choice for you from the specialised and enthusiastic team at Claeyssens Optic.

Of course, you should listen to your personal preferences. But no matter what, we recommend that you get assistance from our specialists. Someone who has been in the business for years will be happy to help you easily make a choice. Moreover, you will be more likely to try on frames that you might not have considered at first because you thought they wouldn’t suit you. You could be pleasantly surprised by the pair of glasses you finally wear out the door!
