About Optometry
Optometry is a specialized profession devoted to the health and care of your eyes. The first step in getting eye care is often to set up an appointment for an eye examination by a professional optometrist.
Once our eye doctor has examined and evaluated your eyes for any diseases or issues and determined a diagnosis, the next step is treatment. If you are have a refractive error, like myopia or hyperopia, eyeglasses may be recommended to help correct your vision.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Eyeglasses
There is more to choosing a pair of eyeglasses than meets the eye. There are a few areas to consider that play a key role in eyewear selection. These include:
• Face shape
• Skin tone
• Style
Face Shape
Faces come in a variety of shapes and play a role when choosing the style of the most complimentary frames. The four face shapes are round, square, oval, and diamond.
For those with a round face, frames that are rectangular or square are the most flattering. Curvy-style frames enhance the look of someone with a square face.
Those with an oval face have the advantage of versatility, as all frame styles are acceptable.
Skin Tone
Whether you have a warm or dark skin tone, the color of the frames is another factor to consider. Warm skin tones do best with neutral colors, whereas those with a cooler skin tone can avoid the light side and go with darker shades.
Style
Choose frames that fit well, can keep up with your day-to-day activities, and put your outfit together.
