Tips to help you choose the right glasses frames.

Style, fit and comfort are the highest priority for our fitting experts at You & Eye Optical. We recommend not only which frames suit you, but also your prescription, taking into account the frame size and shape, the style of the nose bridge, length of the temples and construction of the frame.

There are options in eyeglass frame materials.

Shell (acetate) Frame Glasses:

Shell frames fit all the way around the bridge of your nose, making them hypo-allergenic, and light-weight, whilst making a statement. They are available in a large variety of colours, patterns and textures. The wider material in acetate frames can be useful in hiding the edge thickness of higher prescription lenses.

Metal Frame Glasses:

Metal frames consist of monel, titanium, stainless steel and aluminium materials. These materials are robust and work well for most prescriptions. Once again they are available in a large variety of shapes, sizes and colours.

Semi-rimless Frame Glasses:

Semi-rimless frames have the rim only on the top half or bottom half of the frame making them more subtle and of a minimalist appearance. These frames can be a good compromise if you like the look of rimless but need a frame with more strength.

Full (drill) Rimless Frame Glasses:

Rimless eyewear appeals to men and women of all ages and has the cosmetic benefit of disappearance. They work well in glasses that you wear all the time, as they keep their shape better when you don’t take them on and off regularly.

At You & Eye Optical we'll help you find frames you'll love.
