How to Choose Eyeglasses for Your Face Shape & Vision

Whether you’re updating your look or buying your first pair, choosing eyeglasses is a personal journey that blends fashion, function, and comfort.

At Bunch Family Eye Care, we believe your glasses should correct your vision and reflect who you are. With a wide range of designer frames, expert staff, and a friendly approach, we help our patients find frames they love to wear.

Looking for glasses near you? Here’s your go-to guide for picking out eyeglasses that match your prescription, style, and face shape.

1. Start with Your Eyeglass Prescription

Before falling in love with a frame, ensure it works for your vision. Whether nearsighted, farsighted or need multifocals, your prescription plays a big role in what lenses and frames work best.

For example:

  • Higher prescriptions may need thinner lenses and sturdier frames.
  • Progressive lenses often pair better with larger frames for smoother visual transitions.

We begin every glasses journey with a comprehensive eye exam to ensure your prescription is current and customized to your needs. Our optometrists explain your options so you can choose confidently.

Five Tips to Choose Eyeglasses

2. Match Your Face Shape to Flattering Frame Styles

Your face shape can guide you toward the most flattering frame styles. Not sure what shape you have? Don’t worry; our Plano team is here to help! Here’s a quick breakdown:

Round Face

Go for angular, geometric frames to create contrast and definition. Rectangle or square shapes work beautifully.

Oval Face

Lucky you—most styles will work! Play with proportions or explore bold frame colors to show off your creativity.

Square Face

Choose round or oval frames to soften strong jawlines and add visual balance.

Heart-Shaped Face

Look for bottom-heavy frames, rounded edges, or styles that are wider at the bottom to balance out a broader forehead.

Diamond Face

Cat-eye and oval frames work well to highlight your cheekbones and soften narrow features.

3. Choose Frames That Fit Your Lifestyle

Eyewear isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your glasses should complement how you live, work, and express yourself.

  • The Bold Trendsetter: Go for chunky frames, vivid colors, or unique textures. Make a statement with your specs.
  • The Professional: Choose sleek, subtle frames in classic colors like black, tortoise, or metal tones.
  • The Active Type: Lightweight, flexible materials and snug fits are great for movement and durability.
  • The Minimalist: Rimless or thin metal frames offer a clean, understated aesthetic.

No matter your style, we have the perfect designer frames waiting for you at our Plano optical.

4. Look for Quality Craftsmanship and Comfort

Not all glasses are made equal. When shopping for eyeglasses, pay attention to:

  • Hinge quality (spring hinges add durability)
  • Frame material (acetate, titanium, stainless steel)
  • Fit and adjustability (nose pads, arm width, bridge fit)

Online frames might look good, but they often lack the fine adjustments and build quality you get from in-person shopping. That’s why so many Plano residents trust Bunch Family Eye Care to help them find glasses.

5. Don’t Forget the Lenses

Your frames may make the first impression, but your lenses do all the hard work. We’ll help you choose the right combination of features for your vision needs:

  • Single vision vs. progressive lenses
  • Blue light protection (great for screen users!) lenses
  • Photochromic or Transitions® lenses
  • Anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and UV coatings

We’ll walk you through every lens option during your visit and explain what works best for your prescription and lifestyle.
