Which Glasses Styles Will Make You Look Younger? | We Recommend Frames that Flatter Your Face

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

What glasses style are you wanting to try? What's your favorite pair of glasses look like?

[@adr5389]

Full-on round frames, that's no brainer

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

Definitely on trend at the moment but also timeless!

[@auroradijana7915]

I realy like Genesis Art now but my all time favorite is J.F. Ray, unfortunately i can't find them anywhere anymore.

[@FolieMusou]

And oh forget multiple pairs, I don't need any more clutter whether I wear every day or not. I desire to keep life simple. Also why understated was important.. I did not think rimless was aging but I suppose you mean wrinkles are a tad more visible but also perhaps due to exposure as an optician to more older people buying rimless? so associate it with them. If one wants to be really bold, loud coloured/patterned spectacles are so passe. Get the granny/grandad look! 😄

[@dloveofgod8269]

I got some cat eyes, and a pair of sunglasses. Unfortunately with my strong progressives prescription I've had a hard time reading with them.

[@kt8199]

I've never followed trends, I actually liked one of the rimless on you. I couldn't see me picking any that you suggested. I appreciate your videos and details, they've helped me quite a bit.

[@SwearMY]

I love my rimless glasses. They have purple metal middle and arms. They look great and feel great.

[@ShashaaTirupati]

LOVE how you've taken personality/ nature into consideration here - you're gold! Thank you!!

[@eml3077]

For years I've worn small oval glasses with a brown metal frame but now I want to update my look to something more modern so I'm getting a pair of clear/transparent frames. They look great on everyone and are definitely more youthful looking. Plus give a subtle look that I'm looking for - I want people to see my face not my glasses!

[@lisar317]

Excellent advice! Thank you so much for making this video 😊

[@amandareed1871]

I love the differences what glasses don’t do a thing and what really inhance a persons features hope to see more of your videos.

[@missj.4760]

Tip for business development: the reason why I prefer to shop for frame online is that I cannot find the frames I need in store. I need small glass with a relatively large bridge pretty much the only thing I can find are small frame with a bridge under 16 and and a lot of medium and large frames (what fits me perfectly are D-shape frame with a total width of 130 cm and a high bridge of 17-18 mm and they just don't have it in store). If after trying glasses in 30 stores I am lucky enough to finally find a frame that fits me and is fashionable, the optician is usually reluctant to order a color that will be flattering for my blue eyes (black and very colored frames are not an option). Then the second argument is that decently fashionable frames with a 1.67 progressive lenses (which is something not ideal at all for someone working in front of a computer all day) cost me last time $1000. This time, I bough instead 3 single distance pair of glasses online and it costs me less than $150. Sorry but walk-in opticiens need to have a more competitive offer.

[@carolburton5853]

Kristin's new specs are soooo flattering. Thanks for the info.

[@bioskahabinivous9906]

How is a monocle not on the list? Im wearing it now and I feel younger than ever!

[@caracaplinger1860]

This was so helpful!! Love the idea of 2 pairs, 1 for work and 1 for play

[@ramencat788]

Wow I guess I’m a natural at choosing glasses. 🙂 Cat eye are my favorite, really flattering for diamond face (toughest face shape to find glasses for!).

[@jennieosborne3530]

I agree the cat shaped glasses are my favorite.

[@DON-xf1iw]

your smile like a sun rise i just get relaxed when i see your video its sooo helpful .thanks a lot dr D

[@rmm1332]

I agree with you on the rimless frame. I have tried it twice and no matter what shape it was, I look so old. But I disagree with cat eyes being the absolute goes to for everyone. Not everyone call pull it off without looking like grandma 😂 I for once will looks like I have seen better days with it. It makes my feature looks rough.

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

I need to update the video now, we have so many new shapes that I'm loving. Cat eyes were relaly big but now we're seeing more interesting takes on round shapes. Thanks for watching!

[@naturegirl2110]

@@EyeSchoolwithDrD my problem is plastic frames fall off my face especially in the summer. I live in the South. I also have a longer lean face. My first pair of glasses was from the kids section because adult frames were too big for me. I am an adult. There are more choices now but I am limited to metal frames because plastic frames are bigger.

[@ednagil81]

This is the best video !! Congratulations. Very nice personality.

[@ltilley7343]

I have an oval face, but it is petite so it is hard to find glasses that don't look huge on me. I actually bought a pair of oval wire frames for the first time and they just go better with my delicate features. She has a nice big face and a lot of hair so those bold frames are balanced on her.

[@tpvn8377]

Same I got 2 frames. A aviator type glasses and a metal circle glasses

[@lorriefinley3129]

You can always buy children's frames. I did for years until more designers started making smaller frames available. I still look at them as options whenever I need frames.

[@FlySistah]

This is my same issue, oval face and petite. I was given children's frames to try, unbeknownst to me, and they worked well.

[@charlenegreyard7628]

Many opticians now carry petite frames. It is a really problem for me as well because the glasses I would like to wear swallow my face. This video has given me some much needed guidance and confidence that I can get out of my rimless and into something more youthful on me!

Thank-you so much! I tend to be so boring when it comes to picking glasses!! I wish I could come to you to help me pick something fun!!

[@sandramason4672]

Thank you so much for this video. Your attitude to what frames can do for appearance and ego is very helpful. Making us think about colour as well as style for focal point, face shape, skin tone, and age will encourage us to make better decisions. I spend ages choosing a new frame and would love to be able to afford more than one set of glasses per perscription. However, I will just have to dream on.

[@Markus8237]

The second frame is really stylish when worn as sunglasses. Not as clear, normal glasses, I agree with you there.

[@AzoreanLu]

I think it was the pair that looked better on the lady.

[@Unbridled13]

Had an artist 🎨 grand aunt. She had the most amazing glasses. They were huge and so hip.

[@laurieparis2203]

Fun and instructional video! Especially appreciated the fit demo with your charismatic model at the end. You remind me of a young Katherine Ross. Might be the hair?

[@alphiaaugustin9162]

Very informative. I had actually been seeking such information.

[@cultofmara]

I have to get my first pair of glasses at 46, while career changing from 16 years as a fashion designer. I have also been growing out my grey hair from dark. I could not handle the system shock of this plus glasses and had to leave the store! This really helped me to understand fit and style in unknown territory, thank you !

[@rosacorcoran8258]

uncanny how accurately this mirrors my current experience! it's a major identity shift adjustment. i literally couldn't get out of the local optician eye chain Specsavers here quick enough and won't be going back. i think an opticians that are sensitive to your needs and take the time to help you choose the right glasses for you is so important as hardselling two for one deals and rushing you through the process doesn't feel like a great idea. relieved to hear an eye specialist advise to really take your time to choose what's right for you

[@ceoa]

I really liked the oval second demo you showed. They looked really nice on your face, and I prefer glasses that lift and pop in color. Wish my opthomologist took the time, Thanks for the tutorial! 🤓

Thank you Dr D for this info. Christine is so adorable. Her new glasses really made a difference. We can see her pretty face now.

The vintage look is very hip, and never goes out of style. So I would disagree with you putting that rimless saddle bridge frame in with the frames that make one look old.

Would you do a video on picking glasses when you have severe myopia? My glasses are around -12 and I’ve had a terrible time trying to find frames that I feel good in. I also have a narrow face, so that doesn’t help.

[@alicea5]

I just got glasses. During the try on, the sample fit fine but when I got the glasses, the nose piece didn’t sit on my nose properly and the frame grip my sight temple. It didn’t feel good at all. I told the glass lady this. She said with wear, it will mold to my head. I did not believe it but I went ahead took it home. I tried it on for a few days. Nope. The glass wasn’t working. The lady said she’ll try to heat up the nostril area and adjust it. Comparing the glass to my computer glass, my computer glass has a longer nose pincher and the frame doesn’t grip my temple. For being so expensive, I didn’t like my glass and has spoken to the lady to exchange the frame but she doesn’t know if it’s possible and need to go find out.

Just found your channel. Thank you for your videos. I am curious to know your knowledge about toxic eyeglass frames. Just learned about BPA Omg even in Eyeglasses and your advice about polycarbonate. Not too many websites provide warnings about frame material. Ready to discard all of my frames, though silly of me, still need to wear glasses. Know of websites that offer less harmful frames, but $$$ and small selection. Your best advise is helpful.

[@Monicalala]

You want to absolutely limit BPA ingestion but I don’t think it in glasses or zyl is a concern at all. They’re not super flexible like a water bottle, which is a primary source of BPA ingestion. Think how flexible a water bottle is and how easy they are to crush with one hand. Eyeglass frames don’t quite have that quality.

You reasons for visiting one of the three “O’s” to be fitted for frames are great. However, my recent experiences were a disappointment. Techs (clerks) had no interest or skill in helping me pick out a suitable frame for my face or my rx.

HI Dr. D I just discovered your video! I thought... I wanted an oversized mens frame but looking at the pics I took of myself they look so large at outside temple. And.. I think I was rushed in choosing. :( So now to go back and choose an uplifting soft toned frame.. in a men's style ;)

[@lolabrini3758]

u have similar color and facial bone structure as cindy crawford also: 15:36 looks the best on u. And I disagree: u have very strong distinctive face: a rimless looks best on u: it lets ur beauty shine through. The statement ones and flashy or bold colors are for people with blah faces (plain janes need statement frames)
