Discover Your Perfect Spectacle Frames – From Classic To Unique!
Your spec frames are an expression of your individuality and personal style. We have ranges to suit all styles, whether you want something conventional or unique. With a wide selection of glasses from recognised brands and designer frames, our customers can find the perfect frame to make them look and feel great.
Our optical dispensers are available to help customers find the perfect frame to suit their face and eye shape, skin tone, and fashion style. With their expertise and guidance, we help customers discover new frame options for their lifestyles and fashion style.
Finding Your Style
The selection of spectacle frames can be an essential part of personal identity.
Frames allow people to express their personalities through various materials, shapes, and colours. New frames have to tick all the boxes when it comes to functionality, comfort, durability, as well as good looks.
Our optometry practice carries an extensive range of Australian-designed frames as Australians have different tastes to what is available overseas. Our Optical dispensers at Eyes by Design take their time to help customers find the frames that will make them feel and look good and give them confidence.
From classic frames to unique ones, customers can find the perfect pair of glasses that match their style and help them stand out and express themselves.
Classic Frames: Timeless Elegance
A collection of classic frames creates a timeless look, with sophistication to the wearer’s appearance.
Classic frames typically come in black, tortoiseshell, clear, gold and silver. Classic frame styles will always be versatile and suitable for formal occasions or everyday wear.
Classic-styled frames are the perfect choice for those who want one pair of glasses. The right frame will give them a great look for all occasions.
Something A Bit More Funky
We are increasingly noticing a trend towards frame selections with more flair. For those who find classic frames boring and want to make a statement with their glasses, then choosing a frame with vibrant colours or unusual shapes could create an exciting result. This could be for your everyday pair or a second set of glasses when you want a bit of flair or if you feel your mood needs a boost.
Would you love to have the confidence to wear bright red frames or something with a pattern or a bolder shape? If so, then we can help.
Our new range, The Elusive Miss Lou, has the most fantastic range of lens shapes and colour choices for women.
For the Guys, our new range Jack de Ross has frames with extra edge and drama without being over the top. These two ranges are the latest brands from the well-known Sceats family, who are iconic in the Australian eyewear industry.
Frame Shape and Face Proportion
Looking good is the primary influence when choosing a frame for most people. As discussed in a previous article, face shape is a factor to be considered, as is face size and proportions.
Comfort must not be ignored, as nothing is more frustrating than when glasses start to hurt after a while or leave rub marks on the nose area. The bridge of the nose is very delicate, and we do not want to cause skin trauma from ill-fitting glasses.
Understanding frame shape is essential for selecting the most flattering eyewear:
Frame Size:
- Small frames tend to suit narrow faces, while larger frames suit wider faces.
- One should also consider the bridge size of the glasses, as this should fit the bridge of the nose.
Frame Shape:
- Generally, round frames are best suited for oval or heart-shaped faces, while angular frames are more suitable for square or rectangular faces.
- Wayfarer or aviator frames are a popular choice for diamond-shaped faces.
Frame Materials and Durability
Different frame materials provide further durability, flexibility, and comfort:
- Metal frames are lightweight, comfortable for all-day use and always popular with all ages.
- Plastic frames are more flexible and come in various frame colours, patterns and styles, and the fashion-conscious will often opt for plastic-based frames.
- Titanium frames are lightweight and minimal, so brands such as Seiko and Silhouette have an extremely loyal customer base, as their frames are so light and deceptively strong.
The frame design is critical when choosing the right frame for you. The frame must sit at the right height and angle on your face to ensure that the lenses provide the best optics to support your vision. This is all considered when looking at the frame selection with you.
