Your face shape is very important as well as the intended use of your eyeglasses. Let's look at your face for a second. Do you have a round, square, or perhaps triangular face? In order to balance your total view, we must select a shape that complements your face shape. If your face is round, perhaps a square lens shape is ideal or maybe a triangular or a combination of both shapes.

The Licensed Optician will assist you to select the best shape for the shape of your eyeglasses and their intended use.

Adding Everything Up!

After selecting the frame and shape, the licensed optician then based on the intended use decides which coatings, materials and special effects to add to the lenses. The optician will select a material that is appropriate for drilling as well as aesthetics. Trivex, Polycarbonate or High Index is considered. High Index is for those rather high prescriptions. Based on the abbe value of the material, the optician then selects the anti-glare coating . Anti-reflective coatings are very different one from another based on property and quality. Perfect Optics comes into play at this stage. Remember you want the clearest lens in all light conditions such as night time driving.
