Hey all!
I’ve needed glasses ever since I was a teenager - but my mother was the one choosing them. She picked relatively neutral frames, though I never liked the shape of the lens.
Now I need to buy a new set as an adult but… How exactly do people decide which frames work better for their face? Trying them at the store my mind just becomes blank, I don’t know what I should be looking for. Any tips?
As others have said, bring someone for an outside opinion. You said that you didn’t like the frames that your mother picked so you should know what you don’t like at least and go from there.
Also check how they feel on and if you notice/see the frame when you look around. For me, the most important thing is how comfortable they are, you will get used to how you look in them.
