Oval shaped faces: This face shape is almost suited to all prescription glasses and frames. But it would be benefial not to wear larger styles glasses. This is because oval faces have smoothly rounded, and well balanced faces.

Faces that are round in shape: Faces that have features such as large cheeks and a rounded chin would benefit wearing prescription glasses or frames that would have a slimming effect. Square glasses or glasses that are not too shallow could help to highlight the top half of the face. Try not to wear smaller frames as this could have the reverse effect.

Faces that are Heart shaped: Rounder glasses and frames would be well suited with this shape. Also try to wear square frames to help highlight the shape of the face, Try to avoid any glasses that highlight the shape of the jaw. The key is to try and avoid attention to this.

Square faces: For faces that are strong and angular, or short and wide, the best frames to try are round or oval styles that soften the jawline. Avoid any shapes that emphasise squareness. - 17943
