Tips for choosing frames 

• Top of frames should not cover your eyebrows
  
• Your eyes should sit horizontally central within a frame
  
• Frames should not sit on / touch your cheeks 
  
• Try and ensure the frame colour suits your skin tone 
  
• As a general rule choose a frame with a contrasting shape to your face shape. Rounder faces suit squarer frames. Oval face shapes should suit most shapes. 
  
• Have fun and be prepared to experiment – there is not a time limit on choosing the right frame for you. 
  
• If a frame comes in a different size, try on both to ensure the best fit.

• Always take your spectacles off using both hands – this will double the lifespan of your frames

• Never open the oven door wearing your spectacles - the steam produced on the lenses will damage the protective coating
• Always use a silk or micro fibre cloth to clean your lenses- this will prevent scratches 
• To help prevent scratches, never put your glasses on a surface face down
