How To Select Eyewear

Your selection of eyewear is an important decision as it encompasses both function and style.  Think of your eyewear as similar to a watch; it is a fashion statement that also provides necessary information.  Your prescription lenses provide visual information to your brain, through your ability to see clearly and comfortably.  Properly chosen prescription lenses also protect the inner systems of your eye from damaging UV radiation.  Meanwhile, your eyeglass frames make a dramatic impact on the appearance of your face.  This is an opportunity for your personal style to shine through.

With the array of lens and frame choices as well as available technologies, selecting eyewear can be an overwhelming task.  The following guidelines will assist you in evaluating your needs along with your eyecare professional.
