GLASSES FOR YOUR FACE SHAPE
How to Choose Glasses for Your Face Shape
Have you ever wondered how to buy glasses online that compliment your face shape? When shopping online for a new pair of glasses you want to find a frame that compliments your features. Today, you can easily shop for glasses online choosing from 1000’s of styles and at more affordable prices than at a brick-and-mortar store.
To make the right choice when you have a huge variety of styles to choose from, it’s good to know three things: What’s your face shape, what styles work with this shape and maybe more importantly, what styles are big no-no’s.
What is Your Face Shape?
People with oval faces are in luck - pretty much any frame style will suit them. With a jawline that’s slightly narrower than the forehead, complemented by high, angled cheekbones. This face shape is proportional and versatile when it comes to picking glasses, but we do recommend rectangular or cat-eye frames to truly shine.
With a square face that usually has a broad forehead and strong jawline, you want to choose frames that soften the features and elongate the face shape. The best way to do that? You won’t go wrong with round or oval frames, while you should try and avoid angular and rectangular styles.
The heart-shaped face usually means a broad forehead and wide cheekbones that narrow down to a small chin. A lot of styles, especially oval & cat-eye with a wide nose bridge work well here; rimless glasses and heart-shaped faces are a match made in heaven. Try to avoid aviators and dominant browlines.
Round faces are relatively short, have (surprise surprise) a rounded chin, full cheeks and a wide forehead. Sharper angles are needed to compliment this face shape. We recommend rectangular and square frames, the narrower the better, to help elongate the face and add a complimenting contrast. Stay away from rounder or oversized styles.
Oblong faces are longer than they are wide, and have long, straight and relatively thin cheek lines. As with other face shapes, the way to compliment an oblong face is by contrasting its features. Wide aviators or square frames will do just that. Look to avoid narrow, rectangular frames that make your face seem even longer.
The diamond face shape is narrow at the jaw and eyeline, complemented by high & broad cheekbones. The best styles to offset these features have prominent browlines. Semi-rimless frames and curvy cat-eyes are recommended. Try avoiding narrow frames that draw too much attention to the narrow eyeline.
We hope this article helps you find your start line when shopping for your next pair of glasses online. But don’t forget - You look best in what makes you feel best. Don’t be afraid to go bold and break these rules. Trend-setters have done that for hundreds of years and you could be the next!
MEASURE YOUR PD
Measuring your PD
NO GLASSES HANDY
Don't have a pair of glasses handy? You can still measure your pupillary distance using a mirror, a small ruler marked in millimeters, a pencil & paper.
STEP 1: Stand about 8" away from a well-lit mirror. Grab your small ruler in one hand. Have your pencil and paper handy. Look straight ahead into the mirror and position the ruler over the bridge of your nose.
A friend, a small ruler marked in millimeters, a pencil & paper.
STEP 2: Have your friend hold the ruler up to your right so the zero end lines up with your pupil. Measure the distance from your right to your left pupil. The number that lines up with your left pupil is your PD. Jot it down. Try it a couple times to make sure your measurement is accurate.
STEP 3: Have your friend repeat the process on your left eye by measuring the distance from your left pupil to your right. Use the number that lines up with your right pupil. That's your PD. Jot it down. Do a couple tries to make sure the measurement is right.
Once you've got your PD measurement, fill in the numbers in your cart and you're good to go.
TYPES OF LENSES
What type of lens should you get?
Single-vision
Single vision type lenses are one of the most common in vision correction. It means the lenses are correcting for one field of vision—nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatisms. The entire lens contains the same amount of vision correction.
Progressives
Progressive lenses provide uninterrupted vision from distance to near without any visible lines between the zones. Progressive lenses’ seamless transition from distance correction on top to reading correction on bottom provide much sharper overall vision.
Bifocal
Bifocal lenses have two (2) distinct powers which are divided by a distinct line to separate.
READ YOUR PRESCRIPTION
How to Read Your Eyeglasses Prescription
Trying to read a prescription for glasses isn't the easiest thing in the world, so we whipped up this guide to help you understand better what the numbers in your eyeglasses prescription mean.
1. Reading Your Eyeglasses Prescription
While there might be some minor variations between different eye prescription forms, the generic doctor's RX note will probably look very much like this:
The key to reading your eyeglasses prescription, whether you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or anything else, is knowing what OD and OS stand for.
Sometimes appearing as O.D. and O.S. (oculus dexter and oculus sinister), which are abbreviations in Latin for the right eye (OD) and left eye (OS). Some doctors may use O.U. which means both eyes, or RE and LE for the right eye and left eye respectively.
There are other abbreviations in your eye prescription. Here is what each of them means:
- Sphere (SPH): Measured in diopters, the number under this header refers to the lens power necessary for each eye. A minus (-) is used to correct nearsightedness. A plus (+) sign next to the number refers to farsightedness correction.
- Cylinder (CYL): The lens power (also diopters) used to correct astigmatism. If you have no astigmatism or a very slight one, nothing will appear under this column. Just like with Sphere, minus is used to indicate lens power for nearsighted astigmatism, plus is for farsighted astigmatism.
- Axis (Ax): Like Cylinder, this only applies to astigmatism prescriptions. The numbers under this column refer to angle degrees (1 to 180) and not diopters. If your prescription includes Cylinder lens power, it must include Axis as well.
- Add: Only used for multifocal (progressive/bifocal) lenses. It refers to the added magnifying power applied to the bottom of the lens in multifocal lenses. PAL is used in some cases by eye doctors when the addition for progressive lenses is different compared to bifocals.
- Prism: Prism is used to correct double vision or vision displacement. The value on the prescription refers to the number of diopters applied in order to compensate for the image alignment issues.
- PD: The distance between your pupils. If by some chance your eye doctor didn't write it down for you in your RX note, you can easily measure it yourself.
After going online to Vision Express and choosing a frame you love, sending in your prescription is a piece of cake. You can choose one of 3 easy ways to get it done:
- Online: Copy it section by section from your doctor's written form
- Upload a photo: If you have a digital copy of your prescription, you can upload it directly to the site
- Send it via email: You can complete your order without providing a prescription, instead sending it to us to us with your order number. We'll take care of the rest!
3. Final Reminders
Your eyeglasses prescription is also eligible to use for sunglasses but not with Contact Lenses. Your prescription is yours to keep! If you get an eye exam at the doctor's, you don't have to purchase your glasses there. A copy of any prescription that includes a refraction, whether multifocal prescriptions or single-vision, must be given to the patient after the exam, without charging extra.
That's it, now you know what all the numbers in your prescription mean, and you can read it without a problem! If you already have your prescription, you can enjoy our exclusive discounts and shop a brand new RX pair right here.

GET USED TO PROGRESSIVE LENSES
How to Get Used to Progressive Lenses
From a certain age (somewhere between late 30s to early 40s), your vision naturally declines, especially when it comes to seeing things up close. For most glasses wearers, that comes in addition to imperfect eyesight when looking at a distance.
You can get 2 pairs of glasses, each for a different issue, but switching between them can be a pain. A more ideal solution would be the all-in-one kind, aka progressive lenses.
This type of lens provides clear and corrected vision for reading, distance, and everything in between, with a smooth transition between all fields of vision. However, it might take a long time getting used to because it requires looking through different parts of the lens for each field of vision.
Here are some tricks and tips to make your adjustment period as smooth as possible.
Tip #1: Wear Your New Glasses, Not the Old Ones
It might feel weird at first to wear progressives. Still, you should stick to them for all your glasses-needy occasions until you get the hang of it. The more you wear them, the easier the transition will be.
Tip #2: Focusing Tricks
A neat way to get the hang of it. Start by looking and focusing on an object at a distance (across the room, for example), and slowly lower your eyes to the midsection of the lenses, focusing on something else. Then, take a book and start reading it using the bottom part of the lens.
Tip #3: Move Your Head, Not Just Your Eyes
When getting accustomed to your new glasses, try moving your head and not just your eyes. Do it up and down and then side-to-side as you look through different fields of vision.
Tip #4: How to Walk up the Stairs with Progressive
It's quite common to feel like your eyes are playing tricks on you when walking up a flight of stairs for the first time with progressive lenses. As mentioned above, move your head and not just your eyes to look down, which will enable you to keep everything in focus.
During your first week of wearing new glasses with progressive lenses, use them while driving only if you're already comfortable.
For first-timers with multifocals and progressive lenses, there might be some super subtle side effects such as very slight dizziness. It's completely normal and will pass quickly. And now that you know what's in store for first-time wearers of progressive lenses, it's time to get yourself a pair of multifocals. Vision Express offers 1000s of styles to pair up with high-quality progressive lenses for any prescription at affordable prices. Check out the collection. There's probably a sale on multifocals you can take advantage of right now.
