The first kind - high forehead, pointed chin. The second type is a narrow forehead, a wide chin.
For the first type of triangular face, it is necessary to visually reduce the upper and middle parts of the face, as well as smooth out the “sharp” chin. For such people, an oval or round shape points, glasses of the "butterfly" type are contraindicated.
For the second type, when the forehead is much narrower than the chin, rectangular wide rounded frames are suitable. Here it is necessary to emphasize upper part face, so the rim of the glasses should be expressive and attract attention in the upper part. The effect of expressiveness can be achieved not only by the thickness of the frame, but also by rhinestones, as well as contrasting color frames.
For all types of a triangular face, classic glasses with a rectangular frame rounded at the corners are suitable.

Round frames should be avoided, as well as massive, dark, bright glasses that will make the face even rounder and not add attractiveness. If you have a not very thin neck, then square frames are ideal. With a thin neck, such glasses will visually make the neck even thinner.

Square face

They will make the face more feminine, soft and complement the image. The frame in them should be the width of the face.

oblong face

High forehead, high cheekbones .

Glasses for nearsightedness and farsightedness


  • Only an oculist can determine the quality of vision with the help of special devices and test items. To correct vision pathologies in the form of nearsightedness or farsightedness, special lenses are used in glasses.
  • To help people suffering from myopia, lenses with a "minus" value for diopters are used. The characteristic with the plus mark is applicable to people suffering from farsightedness

There are several degrees of visual impairment:

  • up to 3 diopters - slight deterioration
    up to 6 - average
    over 6 - high

  • The ophthalmologist selects reading glasses on the basis of tests according to a special table, and, based on the results of the examination, writes the result and prescription. If you plan to use it not only for reading, but also for working on a computer, then this should be reported at the doctor's appointment.

  • Special glasses for the correction of myopia must have the correct lenses - thin at the center and thick at the edges. The worse the vision, the thicker the lens and the higher the "minus" value
  • Today, buyers are less likely to choose lenses made of glass, because they are quite heavy. Plastic is lighter and stronger than glass. And polycarbonate lenses are considered unbreakable and most scratch resistant.
  • As for the frame, it is advisable to choose high-quality parts and durable material. Plastic ones can just break, and the most durable metal frames will be made of titanium.

How to choose glasses for farsightedness?


  • With farsightedness, it is most difficult to see those objects that are close. Therefore, glasses should be selected in such a way that the object is at a distance of 33 cm from the eyes.
  • Often there is a need for glasses for viewing objects at close range and at a distance. But buying two pairs for different purposes is not always justified, and wearing them is inconvenient.
  • If we are talking about daily and constant wearing of glasses, then you should opt for glasses with bifocal glasses, which are assembled from two different halves

the only significant disadvantage is that upper layer coating wears off over time. There are cases allergic reaction on the composition of the paint.

If metal frames are comfortable to wear at work and at any age, then plastic ones are mainly for younger generation. Such analogues are cheaper, more original, but quickly fade in the sun and are easily deformed.

Video: How to choose glasses?

The elongated outline is very close to the classic oval. That's just the chin of a long face is sharper, and the forehead is narrower. If you do not choose a harmonious shape of the frame, the features can give the face a lean expression.

An elongated oval usually has sunken cheeks and a sloping temple line. On the one hand, it looks sophisticated. On the other hand, it can give the girl a haggard look.

When choosing glasses for an elongated face, you need to give preference to bright models with a massive frame. Such a frame will soften pointed features somewhat, giving them a more feminine look.

Owners of a similar appearance need to make sure that sunglasses completely cover their eyebrows. If the eyebrows are left open, the face will take on a bewildered expression, which makes the long face look comical.

To “flatten” the elongated oval at the top and bottom, you should choose glasses that are wider than the face itself. Such a model will simultaneously visually expand the cheekbones and cover the beveled temples.

A long face has one indisputable advantage - now fashionable round glasses “sit” perfectly on it. This model is called "nerd", "basilio the cat", "glasses for the blind". Lady Gaga loves them very much because they are stylish and perfectly cover her thin features.

Sunglasses for a long face give almost unlimited scope for imagination. The owners of such features are very wide and double low jumpers, thick arms, decorated with ornaments or stones. Also, huge butterfly glasses, “aviators” and “drops” harmoniously look on the elongated face.

In addition, a massive bright frame made of plastic and metal is welcome. Don't be afraid to be imaginative. Girls with a long face can safely wear glasses of unusual colors. The main thing is that all the decor should be focused on outer edges frames at the temples. Also good decision there will be a straight top line of the frame, decorated with rhinestones.

What to Avoid

Girls with an elongated oval should not buy narrow glasses with a thin frame or without it at all. A thin jumper will make the features inharmonious, and if, in addition, it is located too high, it will stretch the face even more.

Also, glasses do not go to elongated features, the frame of which is equal to the width of the face and opens the temples.

  • Glasses shape. How to choose glasses

Despite the fact that there are many methods of correcting vision, glasses have not lost their popularity. Their selection is quite large. But is it possible to buy everywhere? glasses? What to look out for Special attention? It depends on what exactly you need glasses.

Instruction

Start your selection for vision correction with a visit to an ophthalmologist. Do not rely on the fact that in the optics store you can see. Specialists of the required profile are not available everywhere. In addition, you will not carry in your medical record, which records all the features of your vision. The doctor will determine which glasses you need and measure the distance between the pupils. All this will be written in the recipe.

Decide which suits you best. Ordinary glass lenses are familiar to many, but with great myopia they can be very heavy. In addition, the eyes in them seem much smaller than they actually are, and it is more difficult to match the frame to them. But in optics there can be plastic lenses or lightweight glass ones. Usually, the accompanying documentation indicates the refractive index. The higher it is, the smaller will be the thickness of the glasses that give the same correction. It is better if the index is greater than 1.6.

Ask if plastic lenses have a hardening coating. Most often it is, but it does not interfere with making sure. Very useful and anti-reflex coating. It improves the light transmission of lenses, and significantly. In lenses with such a coating, the eyes get tired less. This is especially important under heavy loads.

In frames that are entirely made of plastic, the nose pads are usually fixed. This is not always convenient. Pay special attention that they do not squeeze. In metal frames, give preference to soft nose pads. As a rule, they are made of silicone and fastened with screws, which allows you to put them in a comfortable position.
